Tell us your ideas on affordable clothing for outdoor winter trips – best tips may appear in print

In his 1973 book Coast to Coast, the great walker Alfred Wainwright wrote “There’s no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing”.

The only problem is that all that merino wool and GoreTex comes at price. So, with winter just around the corner, we’d like to know about your budget DIY ways to keep warm in the great outdoors. Some fishermen swear by wearing women’s tights instead of thermals, for example. Others will wear a cyclist’s thin skull cap with earflaps under their woolly hat. We’d like to know about your budget ways to keep the cold at bay when you’re out and about in winter.

The best tips may appear in print in the Guardian’s Saturday magazine 5 November edition.

This assignment closes on Monday 24 October at 10am BST
