PACK FOR THE JOURNEY

Two kits for two different jobs

Start with the gear you’ll use on frosty mornings, then pack for delays on longer journeys.

Look for an ice scraper, de-icer, winter screenwash and gloves. Check exactly what the pack includes and follow each product label.

Think about a torch, spare batteries, a blanket and a bag to keep everything together. Compare the packed size with the space in your boot.
