Backcountry Gifts for Cold-Weather Adventures
The Peale jacket from Backcountry is PrimaLoft-insulated and stitch-free, and it has baffle stretch. This midlayer is packed with details to help tackle winter temps and activities. Wear it as a standalone jacket for a jaunt about town, or layer it with a shell for more serious winter outings. It packs into its own pocket and is even water-resistant.
Deep stash pockets are great for storing gloves, goggles, and other mountain essentials, while the lofty synthetic fill prevents icy breezes from penetrating.
The Oakley Flight Deck L Prizm Goggles were inspired by fighter pilot eyewear. Utilizing decades of experience developing some of the world’s foremost performance eyewear, Oakley claims its Prizm lenses optimize contrast for various light and weather conditions to increase visual satisfaction.
The Flight Deck L Prizms feature a rimless design for an increased field of view and triple-layered foam for maximum comfort while zooming down the hill.
The Backcountry Waas jacket is a highly layer-able and sleek puffy jacket design. The Waas utilizes eco-friendly ripstop and ALLIED down. Elastic cuffs and a cinched hem help trap heat in while ensuring the elements stay out. As for packability, the Waas utilizes the same right-hand pack-in pocket as the Peale (featured above), making this an easy grab-and-go essential for fighting off chilly weather.
An extended hem provides extra protection for your seat when you’re on a chair lift or just sitting somewhere cold. The jacket is also treated with PFC-free DWR for water resistance. Wear this on its own or beneath a shell for even greater protection and heat-trapping capability.
Cold, wet gear can bog down even the best days out in nature. The Refresher Boot Heater utilizes a ceramic power resistor to provide consistent, dry heat for boots and shoes of any size. With timer functions of 1, 3, and 6 hours, the Refresher Boot Heater ensures dry gear and fights against pesky bacteria build-up while protecting against overheating.
Not only will this boot heater ensure your boots are dry and warm when you head out the door, but it also helps fight odor and bacteria with UV light.
The fifth-generation, family-owned Barbour coat makers also offer outerwear for your favorite four-legged hiking companion. With a classic quilted design, corduroy-lined collar, and tartan lining, this dog jacket is equal parts warmth and comfort. It comes in different sizes to fit different dogs, and it has a buckle clasp so you can secure the jacket snugly.
