The Urban Ray Mears

1: DJ Mr Thing’s “Champion Nerd” mix of soul and funk – Nice and laid back, a perfect sound track to a bit of lollygagging.

2: Arc’Teryx Theta Ar Gore-Tex jacket – The best piece of waterproof outerwear I’ve ever owned, great at keeping me warm and dry on savagely wet and windy mornings.

3: Bananas – A little taste of sunshine in the morning, plus they keep you regular.

4: Coffee – Not instant shit, not vending machine shit, but the good shit, like Whittard’s “Monsoon Malabar”, shit that leaves you wired, but in a good way.

5: John Smedley knitwear – Nothing like a a lovely bit of fine gauge merino wool to keep you warm and comfortable when it starts getting a bit chilly outside.
