As a massive Heat Holders fan (I think between Craig and I we have at least twenty pairs of socks), I jumped at the chance to review some leggings recently. Yep Heat Holders have taken the very technology we love about their warm and toasty socks and applied it to leggings. This review is all the more exciting as I’ve got some adventures planned for this spring.
I’m actually due to go camping soon as a bit of a bonding session with Craig and Dexter (I know, I know. Me. Camping.). With festival season nearly upon us, I suspect I’ll end up having to do this more than once too. Having not been camping since my school days, I’m dreading it. The trauma of having to resurrect a flimsy neon structure (rigid with last decade’s dirt) that barely fits us all in, the smell of mud and grass inches away from my face as I sleep, the dinners of luke warm sausages and baked beans… can you tell I’m not a fan?
I’m definitely a pampered princess and can’t imagine how people actually enjoy ‘roughing it’ in subzero temperatures. Each rainy day that passes is making me more resentful about our upcoming trip and I’ve even started hinting to Craig we just book a Groupon hotel deal instead. I think it’s all falling on deaf ears though and I’m destined to be sat around a miserable damp fire in pigtails eating from a metal tin all too soon.
The one thing I can safely say I’ll be packing, is my new Heat Holders leggings. They are so warm and will protect my leggies from the feel of cold metal sleeping bag zips (just thinking about that sensation conjures up images of being bullied at Girl Guides). I’ve fallen in love with these bad boys. I suspect they’re meant to be worn under clothes as traditional thermals, but I just wear them as normal leggings (at 140 denier they’ve passed the stripey knickers test!). They’re also amazingly comfortable on the inside as they have an ultra soft brushed inner. It feels as though they’re a second skin - nice and stretchy but they mould to your legs.
Wanna win a pair for yourself? Well I have teamed up with the good folks at Heat Holders and they’ve given me 3 pairs to giveaway (RRP £8, which is a bargain of epic proportions in itself) – this means 3 winners and triple the chance to win!
