OK, so So'ton is a bit far from Essex, but there must be a shop near you (or you could visit the Snow and Rock superstore about 10 minutes down the road from there ...

HTH,

P.S. Trespass at Xscape Milton Keynes is dead expensive!!

re: What to wear

Trespass are ok I got a jacket last year. Problem is they do not let the sweat back out so you end up a bit damp Confused

re: What to wear

Have to agree with some others, try TK Maxx - great prices so you don't risk a fortune on your first trip, and they have huge sizes if you get there earlyish...

Your gonna love it - where and when are you going?

re: What to wear

Just get the bare essentials in UK and get your full gear in Bulgaria. Just as good and a fraction of the price.
