Gravity Trail Jacket

Lightweight hybrid jacket—part fleece, part softshell for wind resistance. Intended for runners and cyclists, but also useful for walkers. The Gravity Trail fleece jacket by German company Jack Wolfskin caught my eye for two reasons. First, it has elevated, rucksack-compatible pockets. Elevated pockets are a common feature on rainjackets and softshells, but very rare on fleeces for some reason. Second, the front of the Gravity Trail is made of what Jack Wolfskin claims to be windproof material. Full review

Stormlock Shapka

Heavy winter hat made for extremely cold weather. Offers circular protection from the wind. While this hat has the traditional design, the materials are modern and top-tier.

Fit & Comfort I'm 1,80 mt and have the Regular version (it comes in different sizes) and it's great. I can rise up if I want my face out or deep in if not and have room for either with no problem. The hood can be… Full review

Traverse Jacket

Warm, comfortable, windproof and water repellent. Great for use in a three-layer setup. Fit & Comfort Fits very well, and gives a lot of freedom of movement. Adjustability Can be adjusted on the wristbands, the waist and in the hood. I usually only adjust the waist in order to lift it up a little when using it on the rain under my J-W's Highland as a three-layer setup. Water Resistance It's water-resistant, and after several washes, it's the same as new. Breathability As a soft shell it breathes… Full review
