We often get asked for recommendations on gear items. There are a myriad of quality brands and products, so what you ultimately find visually appealing, functional and economical is a personal choice.  However, we would like to point out specific products that we find outstanding.


Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero Jacket
When it comes to mid-layers, the top choice for extreme cold is a down jacket.  With a superb warmth to weight ratio, down is a great insulator that is also highly compressible.  We like the Sub Zero Down Jacket by Mountain Hardwear. Stuffed with 600-fill power goose down, the jacket is toasty warm and lightweight. A drawcord cinches the waist to trap in heat and fleece-lined pockets keep your hands warm.The Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero Down Jacket retails for $170, and is available at US Outdoor.
