Outerwear

This is your outermost layer of protection from whatever Winter throws your way. Think of it like the exterior of a house…you want it to be waterproof, breathable, and block anything from getting in.

1. The North Face Men’s Thermoball Eco Jacket: Lightweight and made with Thermoball Eco insulation for warmth, even when wet. This jacket has your back against the elements! Pair with the Carhartt Acrylic Watch Hat and Outdoor Research Men’s Gripper Sensor Gloves to keep the cold out.

3. The North Face Girl's Moondoggy Down Jacket and Patagonia Boy’s Reversible Down Sweater Hoody Jacket: Real deal protection to keep your little ones insulated from the cold! Pair with Hats and Gloves to ensure complete protection.

As you can see, the different layers of protection build upon each other to encase you in warmth when facing the elements. It’s important to think about everything that could be exposed from head to toe, one cold spot left exposed could make for a miserable outdoor experience.
