Get Down!

The mercury is dropping--winter is here. And when you're really cold nothing warms you up like a down jacket or sweater. Warmth to weight, it's the toastiest insulation around. We have styles for the slopes, for big winter outings and for around town. Headed out for an expedition, or soem sub-zero ice climbing? Millet's Expert Down Jacket is up for the job (of keeping you warm that is). Down sweaters are the perfect layer under a shell, or over a softshell. Rab's Women's Microlight Jacket is a staff favorite. The Microlight manages to combine form and function with a women's specific fit that maximises warmth to weight and ensures a great fit without the 'bagginess' often associated with technical light weight clothing. For men, Sierra Designs' Gnar is the perfect go-to jacket for chilly weather--it's a great layering piece this stylish jacket is also comfortable just cruising around town. And, it's 40% off. Isis' Snow Queen is long--and the perfect layer over a dressy outfit, or your yoga or gym clothes. The faux fur comes off the hood, and the cut won't make you look like the Michelin Man. And, it's 25% off. Don't forget baby. Columbia's Snuggly Bunny is a down bunting for the wee ones. Water and wind resistant, this warm wonder will hold up in a light drizzle while 60/40 duck down locks in body heat and keeps baby totally toasty. A diagonal zipper across the front stops short of the cuff so you’ll never have to wrestle to get it latched. Fold-over cuffs provide instant finger warming for tiny digits.
