January sales? Good ones?

[MagicMelon]

Anyone know which websites do really good january sales please? Planning to buy a new hat for example but not fancying the usual prices!

I wouldn't buy a hat online, I like to try them on even if I know what fitted me last time

Just bought a jacket from Premier Equine at a good discount

I need new wellies but am enduring wet feet and holding out for the sales.

I need country boots mine are not leaking but they are falling apart, I bought some new mountain horse ones in the summer but they are so nice I don't want to wear them in the mud and crap, I wear them to go out shopping and for normal stuff I might eventually delegate them to horse chores.

I also need a new riding hat and being on an Island with only one real tack shop its very limiting so waiting for the online sales to see if there is any thing at a good price, although the hat i want is over £150 cheap i know by some people standards and you do only get one head but its alot of money after 2 years of covid

....and a £50 one will have to have the same safety standard. I've never understood the craze for £400+ hats that you might have to replace after one fall.

Safety standard is the same, and I don't have hats that are real top whack, but even with the same manufacturer the quality of the higher end ones is visibly different, straps are made of better materials, clips etc are metal not plastic, they are often lighter weight, better ventilated etc.
Personally, it's not just safety when I might be wearing it a good few hours comfort is important too.
Incidentally, @Shavings and anyone looking for hats hope valley have some Charles Owen in their advent calendar offer today

I bought an insulated fleece lined pair for £35 delivered from Amazon. Doing well 2.5 months later!

See I don’t agree. I’ve got a Uvex Exxential that was £79. It’s my second (after falling in first one after 18 months of use).
It’s the most comfortable and light weight hat I own.
I’ve had blingier hats but they aren’t as comfortable and I only buy and wear the uvex.
But ultimately hat comfort is pretty important, I’d say buy the most comfortable you can afford.

Dunlop Mens Blizzard Lined Boots, Blue

I bought these for my mum for Christmas as her feet are always cold in wellies & she poo picks my field for me in winter as it's pitch black when I go at morning and evening feed time (thanks for the recommendation on here, I can't remember who it was!)

I did put an extra sole liner in (I wear orthotics so put them in all shoes) but I find them very comfortable for walking in.

None of mine have been over £200 for sure, I have the exxential 2 which I like a lot - comfy and lightweight. I've had multiple Charles Owen hats over the years though. Their cheaper ones are the same shape and safety standard but the harnesses aren't as plush for example and the mid budget ones do just feel a bit nicer. I've never paid for bling or anything though
