If the weather forecast proves to be accurate and we have some extremely cold weather incoming, isn't it about time RM updated our Winter protection with equipment like this?

I'm sure I remember having a Royal Mail hat like the top one with the flaps.
Maybe I'm imagining it, I've had a lot of hats over the years.

The only reason I posted the balaclava was there was footage on the news tonight of an American postman wearing one in the current conditions over there.

Your right Fish, I still have one hung up in the Garage, but as now forced to wear a cycle helmet, a good beanie covered over by mac hood and then helmet perched on top, keeps the old barnet dry and warm.
