Wandering through the Woods with Dickies

Wandering through the Woods with Dickies – review and £50 giveaway

We do love to get outdoors as much as we can and with winter approaching it’s important to remember that the grown ups in the household need to be as suitably attired as Monkey always is.  We’ve had a number of adventures over the last few weeks including  an afternoon spent at Westonbirt Arboretum wandering through the Woods with Dickies.

Who are Dickies?  Well Dickies are a clothing company who special is quality clothing, and Daddy P and I decided to put them to the test.

I’ve been looking for some new boots suitable for our woodland walks for a while, and the Dickies Donegal Safety Boots seemed to fit the bill perfectly.

I knew these would be perfect for wandering through the Woods, with their thick tread they’d stop me falling over on slippery surfaces too!

With the thicker soles, my notoriously cold feet have kept that little bit warmer. I did struggle with the cuffs of the boots rubbing my legs the first time I wore these boots, but I now wear them with my longer walking socks and haven’t had a problem since.  These particular boots are priced at £37.95, and Dickies have a wide selection available.

Daddy P opted to go wandering through the Woods with Dickies, and one of their jackets. The Dickies 3 in 1 jacket offers him the versatility he likes.

The jacket consists of an inner detachable fleece and outer shower-proof jacket.  The collar conceals an adjustable hood and the jacket also has a chin guard, reflective elements and an adjustable hem.

At the moment Daddy P is wearing the jacket with the fleece lining, but I know come Spring when it starts warming up again, he’ll remove the fleece and will have two separate jackets for the price of one.

Whether we’ve been wandering through the woods or flying a kite in freezing conditions last weekend, Daddy P has put this jacket to the test and given it his seal of approval. Priced at £59.95, you can find a really comprehensive range of coats and jackets on the Dickies website, with something to suit everyone.

We’ve both been really rather impressed with Dickies and I’m sure my boots and Daddy P’s jacket will be accompanying us on many adventures in the months ahead.

  1. I’d buy some decent walking shoes for when we go walking over on the Isle of Arran where it is often wet under foot!

  2. I would get my OH some Dickies Preston Safety Boots. He wears Dickies trousers for work which are good quality

  3. I would love a new jacket/coat for taking my mums doggy for walks in the cold mornings. Something like the Abbot 3 in 1 jacket in the lovely blue shade would definitely be my sort of thing.

  4. I enter lots of competitions to try to win stuff to donate to charity, to go to Romania so would get some warm clothes for them.

  5. My walking shoes are absolutely derelict. So would definitely be buying some new walking shoes/boots.

  6. I would treat my son to a new coat, he’s just got a new job working outdoors so will be needing a nice warm one x

  7. My hubby and I grew up in the 90s so we love Dickies clothes. Despite actually being “workwear” they were really big on the skate/alternative scene and I’m only mildly embarrassed to say that I never really outgrew the love of that look. I would get my husband the Portland shirt for Christmas and I might even treat myself to a little something with the change, probably the Jansen sweatshirt.

  8. I would buy a pair of Black Dickies Cleveland Safety Boots for my hubby as he needs a new pair for work 🙂

  9. My walking boots are sadly leaking rain in them, so if I won I’d buy the Dickies Severn Fur Lined Boot (Sizes 3-14) thanks.

  10. I would get my partner these boots they would be fab when he is renovating our house -Dickies Severn Safety Boot

  11. I’d gift it to my dad as he loves having Dickies clothing and footwear for work! I think he’d probably get a new fleece or jacket with it though for the winter!

  12. Well living in The Yorkshire Moors/Dales the weather can be a beast so comfort & warmth is very important for us so I think I may spend it towards a pair of walking boots & I’ve taken a liking to these Dickies Medway Safety Hiker boots

  13. Definitely some of those lovely boots – my boyfriends pair are looking decidedly worse for wear!!

  14. I’d buy some new short sleeve shirts for work, it would make a change to wear lady’s instead of men’s!

  15. I would get one of their fleeces for me and I would get my son some of their thermal socks, as he goes through socks at a rate of knots so could do with some warm, hard-wearing ones.

  16. I’d get some thermal gear, especially socks! My Dickies thermal socks have outlasted any others I’ve bought but I only have 2 pairs!

  17. I would give this to my daughter’s partner if I won. He works outdoors roofing. So he would buy suitable outdoor wear for the weather. He would probably get trousers and some boots

  18. I would buy a Dickies Tshirt and give it to my friend. She had one growing up but I don’t remember what happened to it, so I think she would love a new one 🙂

  19. I need boots for walking the dog, so i’d love to buy the same boots as you! No doubt my husband would want a pair too 🙂

  20. I would let my partner pick something from the website for work he would pick a hoody or something from the thermal range

  21. My husband wears Dickles trousers for work he’s due some new ones so I’d get him some new trousers

  22. I would love to buy my husband some work boots as the ones his work provides break so easily and he has to wait a long time for a new pair 🙁

  23. I would buy some new walking boots for my mum 🙂 she’s just worn her old ones out and I know she’s not happy with the replacement pair she got!

  24. i would get safety boots for my fella , he works so hard and always has issues with his feet , he could do with a decent pair 🙂

  25. I’d spend it on a pair of walking boots! I’m always going on long countryside walks and need some nice comfy boots to wear

  26. Some good boots as my wellies have holes in and i’m sick of getting wet feet all the time. Been wearing plastic bags for socks lol.

  27. MY OH needs waterproof jacket and fleece so it would be something like this but everything is so reasonable on the Dickies website 🙂

I'd love to hear from you and try to reply to all comments
