The time is pretty much upon us when it starts to feel a tad brisk around the old extremities, and to combat that in style and comfort, Nike have launched the Vaporknit Strike Snood, which features a precision fit so while it keeps you warm it doesn’t annoy the hell out of you while you’re playing.

We saw the Hi-Vis Premier League ball drop recently and it’s due on pitch this weekend, which is a clear sign, if ever we needed one, that winter is well and truly coming. To combat the cold, Nike has launched a Vaporknit version of its Strike Snood, offering greater comfort and less restriction on your movements when you’re kicking about. Designed to snuggly fit the contours of your neck and lower face, the Vaporknit Strike Snood is made with lightweight, breathable fabric to keep you cool and dry but also – and most importantly – warm.

A breathable material over the mouth lets sound escape, so you can still communicate with your teammates. Or the opposition, if you fancy giving them some stick. Either way, whoever you’re speaking to, they'll be able to hear you. A reflective panel on the rear then keeps you visible in low-light conditions, while a drawstring helps keep the snood in place.

While the Vaporknit Strike Snood is only available in black on black, the standard Strike Snood comes in a variety of different colours, offering you the opportunity to add some personalisation to your winter wardrobe, although it is at the sacrifice of the precision fit of the Vaporknit snood.
