Cold Weather Essentials: Tactical Fleeces, BDU Trousers & Gloves for Autumn and Winter
As the temperatures begin to drop across the UK, it’s time to start thinking about practical clothing for the colder months ahead.
Whether you’re working outdoors, walking the dog, hiking through the countryside or spending long hours on your feet, having the right clothing can make a real difference to your comfort.
At Military Force, we offer a range of affordable tactical and outdoor clothing designed with practicality, comfort and functionality in mind.
Here are four essential additions to your autumn and winter wardrobe.
1. Tactical Fleeces – Stay Warm Without the Bulk
When the colder weather arrives, layering becomes essential. A good fleece provides an additional layer of insulation without the bulk of a heavy winter coat, making it ideal for everyday activities and outdoor work.
Our Tactical Fleece Hoodie is designed to provide lightweight warmth while allowing freedom of movement.
Key features include:
● Lightweight insulating design
● Funnel neck and central zip for adjustable ventilation
● Multiple secure pockets for everyday essentials
● Hook-and-loop patch areas on both upper arms
● Comfortable design for work, outdoor activities and casual wear
Whether you’re working a security shift, enjoying a countryside walk or heading outdoors on a chilly morning, a tactical fleece is a versatile addition to your wardrobe. For particularly cold, wet or windy conditions, combine your fleece with a suitable weatherproof outer layer.
2. MTP UBACS – A Practical Layer for Outdoor Activities
When temperatures start to fall, choosing the right layers can help you stay comfortable throughout the day. Our British Army Style MTP PCS UBACS (Under Body Armour Combat Shirt) is a practical option for customers looking for lightweight, military-inspired clothing.
Featuring a breathable body, camouflage sleeves and a half-zip front, the UBACS is designed for comfort and freedom of movement.
Key features include:
● Breathable Coolmax main body
● British Army-style MTP camouflage sleeves
● Half-zip front for adjustable ventilation
● Practical arm pockets
● Adjustable cuffs
● Hook-and-loop patch areas on both sleeves
The UBACS can be worn beneath a tactical fleece as part of a layered outfit, making it a versatile choice for outdoor activities, airsoft, training and everyday tactical wear.
For particularly cold conditions, consider wearing a dedicated thermal layer underneath your UBACS, followed by a fleece and suitable weatherproof jacket.
3. BDU Tactical Trousers – Practical Clothing for Colder Days
As autumn turns into winter, everyday clothing needs to be practical enough for changing conditions.
Our BDU Tactical Trousers combine a military-inspired design with useful features for outdoor activities, work and everyday wear.
Designed with practicality in mind, these combat-style trousers offer multiple pockets for carrying essentials without needing an additional bag.
Why choose BDU tactical trousers?
● Practical cargo-style pockets
● Metal zip and button closure
● Suitable for outdoor work and activities
● Versatile military-inspired styling
● Useful for hiking, security work, airsoft and casual wear
They’re a great option for customers looking for functional trousers that can be worn throughout the year. During particularly cold weather, thermal leggings or base layers can be worn underneath for additional warmth, provided the fit allows.
4. Kevlar Leather Gloves – A Practical Addition to Your Winter Kit
Cold mornings can make outdoor tasks uncomfortable, particularly when you’re handling equipment or spending extended periods outside.
A practical pair of gloves can be a useful addition to your autumn and winter clothing.
Our Kevlar Leather Gloves offer a tactical-inspired design for customers looking for handwear suitable for appropriate work and outdoor activities.
They’re worth considering for equipment handling, outdoor tasks and general tactical use.
When choosing gloves, it’s important to consider the specific conditions you’ll be working in.
For prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures, wet weather or specialist hazards, choose gloves with appropriate thermal, waterproof or protective ratings.
5. Build Your Cold Weather Tactical Outfit
One of the easiest ways to prepare for changing autumn and winter conditions is to combine practical clothing with a sensible layering system.
Start with a comfortable base layer, add your UBACS for lightweight coverage and wear a tactical fleece over the top for additional warmth.
Pair these with BDU tactical trousers for practical storage and freedom of movement, then complete your outfit with suitable gloves and footwear.
For colder or wetter days, add a waterproof and wind-resistant outer layer.
A practical everyday combination could include:
● MTP UBACS for breathable, lightweight layering
● Tactical Fleece Hoodie for additional insulation
● BDU Tactical Trousers for comfort and practical storage
● Kevlar Leather Gloves for suitable outdoor tasks
● Dedicated thermal base layers when extra warmth is required
● Weatherproof outerwear when conditions demand it
This approach allows you to adjust your clothing according to the weather, your activity and how much warmth you need.
