“Great gear is essential to making the best of our time outside, and for many of us, it’s the most valuable investment we make,” says OUTSIDE Buyer’s Guide editor Axie Navas. “The gear industry is innovating at an amazing pace to keep up with ever-changing outdoor trends, and we want our readers to reap all the benefits of these advances. The OUTSIDE gear team hit the trails and the backcountry on foot, bike, ski, and snowboard to put all the newest products to the test, and nearly 300 made the cut, with seven top-notch items winning our coveted Gear of the Year award.
The Baffin Island Jacket has been engineered using Berghaus’ advanced thermal body-mapping principles. Hydroshell™ Air has been used in key heat zones, for enhanced levels of breathability and comfort, while Hydroshell™ Elite Pro is featured in the main body of the jackets, resulting in the best possible combination of protection and breathability in a technical alpine garment.With the picks from the Winter Buyer’s Guide, our readers can be confident they’re facing the elements with the best gear on the market.
The VapourLight Hydroloft Reversible Hoody allows one jacket to be used as two with the innovative use of two face fabrics. Wear it warm side out to block wind and trap warm air. Reverse the jacket to the cool side to allow more airflow, extending the versatility of the jacket to almost any high intensity cool weather activity or pursuit. Weighing in at 7.8 ounces and packing down into its own stuff sack, it’s two jackets in one that any adventurer can appreciate.
