Outsider picks for the winter season
Having the right gear in your winter outdoor kit helps you get out in all kinds of weather and make the most of the season. Here you can discover a short list of winter favorites that have been tried, tested and approved by our community of Outsiders. These enduring pieces make great investments for both mid-winter adventures and the fickle transition into spring.
THE L.I.M GTX II JACKET
A minimalistic shell jacket that is lighter and more packable than you would ever expect a waterproof jacket of this quality to be.
“I never regret bringing this jacket along in my backpack. It takes up minimal space and adds only 270 grams, and I’m always happy I have it on hand when unexpected rain clouds roll in. It’s ultra-lightweight, surprisingly breathable, and keeps me dry and shielded from the elements. Plus it follows my movements and has all the necessary features, like an adjustable hood and zippered pockets that double as ventilation vents.”

RIDGE GTX LOW SHOES
Waterproof shoes with outstanding gripping power—a reliable tool for anchoring your footing during slippery multi-season hikes.
"These hiking shoes are built to perform on varied terrain and wet, slippery trails all throughout the seasons. They are made with premium, long-lasting materials and technology, like nubuck from an LWG audited tannery, WET GRIP Rubber™, GORE-TEX, and SpevaFoam™ midsole cushioning. An all-around solid, comfortable, and reliable shoe.”
