The Lake District doesn’t care what the forecast said this morning. Pack for the weather you’ll actually get — wind off the fells, a sudden squall over Windermere, ground that’s wetter than it looks — and the weekend goes considerably better.
1. Berghaus Women’s Glissade III Gore-Tex Shell Jacket
A proper waterproof shell from a brand that’s been making kit for the Lakes and the Highlands for decades. Gore-Tex, fully seam-sealed, and cut to layer over a fleece without feeling like a tent.

2. BISINNA Carbon Fibre Trekking Poles
Lightweight, collapsible, cork handles that don’t blister after a few hours, and a quick-lock system that actually stays locked on a steep descent off Cat Bells or Helvellyn.

3. TheFitLife Carbon Fibre Trekking Poles, Antishock
A second solid option with an antishock system built in — worth considering if your knees do most of the complaining on the way back down.

Pack for wet, windy, and unpredictable, and whatever the weather actually does will feel like a bonus.
