YETI

Yeti's exceptional insulated down jackets are the finest we've encountered. Built with high-performance fabrics designed in-house by Yeti's R&D team, their outerwear protects against the winter cold like no other, all while remaining incredibly breathable and allowing unparalleled freedom of movement. 

As the cold winds of winter gather force, there's a couple of options: turn up the thermostat, pack away your boots and wait for spring or (and we reckon this will appeal more) arm yourself with a chunky-knit beanie from British brand BBCo and head out.

VSSL founder Todd Weimer was building makeshift survival kits as a kid. While the canisters have had a serious upgrade since then, the concept hasn’t changed and the mission remains the same: build camping and survival canisters that are tailor-made for adventure in the great outdoors. 

Allow us to introduce DUER and their performance denim jeans. Founded in Canada in 2013, DUER experimented with fabrics until they hit the nail on the head: denim with five times the elastic stretch, triple-stitched for durability, treated for odour neutralisation and ludicrously comfortable.
