Sportful is on a roll and its Pro Thermal is another example of great design.



Since last year, Sportful has increased the density of the fabric by around 25 per cent to make them warmer, but on sub-six-degree days I found they were only just warm enough.



What I didn’t feel was the floating second layer over the knee and shin – this gives so much extra protection just where you need it. I love it and can’t quite believe that we haven’t seen it before.
