8) Water-resistant pants
Say farewell to skirts and shorts, but a big hello to toasty pins. Invest in pants with a water-resistant finish so light rain doesn’t slow you down. For more protection, invest in some waterproof shells to protect your winds from rain, wind and snow.
Everyday: Federate Pants | Travel: L-TRA pants
Outdoor Adventure: XT Alopex Pants or Styper Snow Shell
9) A Rain Jacket
First rule of staying warm: don’t get wet. You need a no-nonsense, waterproof jacket to protect you from the elements whether you're commuting, travelling, or hiking in the rain. Waterproof rain jackets also block the wind; keeping you warmer for longer.
Everyday: L-TRA Rain Coat | Travel: Benmore 5-in-1 Jacket

10) A down jacket
Down is one of nature’s best insulators and offers excellent warmth for weight. Our latest down jackets feature bomber styles and new stretch woven baffle; a stitchless fabric that's even lighter.
