The best winter gear for outdoor enthusiasts who want to stay warm while embracing the cold.
There’s nothing quite like the magic of a fresh snowfall. And while Canadian winters can be harsh and unforgiving, the right gear will keep you toasty, allowing you to fully embrace the season. Ski, board, hike, skate or climb, knowing you’re covered from head to toe with top-of-the-line gear.
Here are nine pieces of winter activewear and accessories for when it’s cold out.
Hestra Army Leather Heli Ski Glove
Skiers and snowboarders know just how important quality gloves are for long days on the slopes and in the backcountry. Hestra's most well-known ski glove is a modern classic with thoughtful functionality — it’s windproof, water-resistant, and breathable. These gloves are made with durable goat leather that provides exceptional grip and feel, and a waterproof three-layer polyamide fabric backhand. The three-finger design provides you with the dexterity of a glove, but also offers warmth by bringing the three fingers together. The glove’s long collar has a snowlock that, together with a velcro strap on the wrist, ensures warmth stays inside. A wrist strap reduces the chance of dropping your gloves, and the included carabiner and leather eyelet on the pinky finger allow you to hang the gloves on your ski pants.
Available in seven colours and sizes 5—12.

These snow pants offer fashion and function. The durable polyester elastane blend provides the perfect amount of stretch, and built-in waterproofing technology for harsh conditions.

There is a jacket-to-pant attachment system, fleece lining, front and back pockets, built-in boot gaiters, and zip-up bottoms.
Available in nine colours and sizes XS—XL.
