Steamboat Springs, Colo, SmartWool helps to smooth the transition between blustery winter days and the first signs of spring with accessories and socks to encourage getting outside to start training for the next sport. Lifestyle accessories provide style and warmth when it is not quite time to give up those cozy scarves and hats.

The Training Glove has silicone palm grippers for holding a ski pole on a warm spring day or tying running shoes without having to take the gloves off.

The Roundabout Scarf is made of SmartWool’s new luxurious Casuwool; a super soft 17.5 micron knit fabric. The extra length, wide width and buttery soft fabric make it ideal for travel. A long, thin lightweight jersey knit scarf, the Yipes Stripes is perfect accent to liven up a chilly spring night.
