Shopping amidst a pandemic

The parking gates are disinfected routinely with hand wash and hand sanitisers available in each section of the store itself. A strict policy of wearing a mask is maintained at all times amongst the staff with a hand sanitiser in their pockets. Customers are not allowed to enter until they have a mask at their disposal to wear.

In an age where social distancing has become the norm, queue management takes place so that there are not too many people in the same place, stemming out chances of any virus transmission.

As masks have started to become conspicuous in our current day-to-day living when stepping outside, they have started to be in high demand by people from all lifestyles. Spark Gear houses various types of masks, including those of international brands to fit the tastes of children, men, and women.

As winter slowly makes its annual visit to the country, there will be slight chances that the weather around us gives us the feeling of a rather "light" winter with a cool chilly breeze when stepping outside. In such cases, Spark Gear offers full sleeve T-shirts and shirts for men, women, and children in vibrant colours and all sizes.

One of the most popular attires in high demand are the joggers – liked by men and women alike. As people spend less time outdoors due to the current situation, they prefer to wear these comfortable trousers-like pants, which allows easier mobility in the house, as well as outside.

Ladies have the outer sweater that is a comfortable and stylish fit. The outer sweater is an elegant supplement to whatever is worn. For men, there is always the elegant suit and blazer that adds layers of comfort and style. Blazers can be of use in both formal and informal settings.

For the heavy winter, which strikes the country at a later stage of the year, there is the overcoat, the large coat that provides an additional layer of warmth and relief when winter strikes with all its harshness.

Winter caps are a common scene in the public sphere during winter. Hand gloves are a must during winter, given that hands often go cold. The muffler is also an important requirement to ensure the warmth is felt around the neck area, especially when the winter gets harsher. Heavy jackets are available for men, women, and children to beat the shrillness of the incoming winter.

Spark Gear has something unique and warm for everyone this winter, with branches in Dhaka and Sylhet, and one in Mymensingh, Khulna, Cumilla, Bogura, and Rajshahi.
