JACKETS AND PANTS
聽
These are perhaps the most important items of your winter trip.
A good coat will make all the difference in your trip and you must invest in this item because a good piece of clothing will be able to be used it in many other trips.
Unsurprisingly, brands such as The North Face, Columbia and Marmott are the best jackets manufacturers.
Can you escape these brands? Yes, as long as the coat is:
Insulated
Waterproof
Windproof
It is possible to find different heating technologies, from synthetic to organic. And here’s a tip: try not to buy products that are tested or directly produced from animals such as goose down coats.
The model of our jacket from The North Face is Inlux Insulated Jacket and we considered an excellent gear. We bought the coat ina REI Sale and it costed 100 U $ D馃檪
The pants must have the same specifications of the coat, but unless you are travelling for skiing or snowboarding, it will not be necessaray for your winter trip.
To practice winter sports prioritizes jackets and pants with many pockets as it is extremely practical to take some goods when you’re on the slopes.

WATERPROOF AND INSULATED BOOTS
The winter shoes are extremely important in any winter trip.
If there is a possibility of snow, you better be safe and buy a waterproof聽shoe and with proper soles to face snow storms.
The non waterproof boots will get you a wet foot, will make you feel very cold and will not give you any stability for walking in the snow. So, i you are planning a trip to a winter resort be sure to take your waterproof聽 boot to get around with convenience and security.
Ok, they are not charming… but they are extremely comfortable and functional. When you wear it, you will not want to take them of.
We bought our boot from Pajar, one of the best brands of in Canada. These boots are prepared to face extreme temperatures and are extremely comfortable.
There are other brands of very good waterproof boots, such as The North Face, Columbia, and also Canadian Sorel.

If you are planning to ski or snowboard, you should take a waterproof glove as it is an indispensable item!
In addition to heated, these gloves will prevent you from getting hurt or compromise movements due to the cold. Hat and scarf are extremely important, and very warm as well.
The acessories must covers your ears, at least partly covers the back of your neck and be made out of thin, modern materials for maximum warmth.
