When warmth is at a premium, nothing beats the feeling of being swaddled in lofty insulation.
Penfield Pelam Jacket
What do they say about retro? It never goes out of style. That's certainly the case with the Pelam. The large baffles and muted colors are very early seventies, and the leather accents protect against rubbing shoulder straps.

Montbell Superior Down Pants
Okay, down pants may not be stylish, but after a cold winter surf session or day on the slopes, they’re hard to beat. These from Montbell are compressible enough to keep in a winter camping pack, but lofted and cozy for sitting by the fireplace with cocoa.

Nobis The Ricky Bobby Vest
Military inspired—with leather shoulders, hand warmer pockets, and a high collar to stave off the cold—the Ricky Bobby (yes, as in Talladega Nights) is the vest you want for the arctic chill of New York City mornings or Moscow nights.

Rab Zero G Jacket
We’ll admit, it looks a bit space age-y, but this mountaineering inspired parka is so warm, we also don't care. If your goal is saving weight, it passes the test, but the fabric is durable enough for mixed ice and snow conditions on hard alpine routes. The 1000-fill down is also responsibility sourced.
Price $550
