The North Face Vicious Jacket
Ingrid Backstrom wore this bright jacket in the new Matchstick Productions film, Claim. But even if you’re not a big-mountain film star you’ll appreciate its removable hood, soft chin guard, and inner goggle pockets. ($199; http://thenorthface.com)
Coal Headwear The Rosa
So you don’t have time to knit your own beanie. Fake it with this looks-like-it-was-homemade hat, made from mohair-acrylic yarn. ($35; http://coalheadwear.com)
Electric Visual EG.5 Swatch Pattern Goggle
Sure, you may be mistaken for a box of Chiclets but the clarity, helmet compatibility, plush face foam, and anti-fog, scratch-resistant lenses are tough to beat. ($95; electricvisual.com)
Holden Outerwear Standard Pant
Good for the bar and the backcountry, these waterproof nylon cord pants fit like a pair of jeans. The zippered hip pockets can store cash and ChapStick, and the flared ankles fit nicely over your ski boots. ($160; holdenouterwear.com)
Kombi Sports Women’s Criss-Cross Glove
Tired of wearing men’s extra-small gloves? These tough leather gloves are designed to fit women’s smaller hands. The waterproof lining and stretch-woven shell will keep you dry even in wet conditions. ($70; kombiltd.com)
