For anyone living in the northern hemisphere, staying warm in the winter months can be a struggle. Layering is an age-old winter hack, but with layers comes extra laundry and more time spent dressing before you’re able to enjoy the snowy outdoors.
A warm winter jacket is a necessity! That being said, there are tons of options to choose from... here are the best jackets everyone should know and own to stay toasty.
1. Ski Jacket
If anything will keep you warm in the winter, it’s a good ski jacket. Ski jackets are designed to be breathable, waterproof, insulated, wind resistant, and abrasion resistant. However, there are different types of ski jackets including shell ski jackets, multi-layered ski jackets, and down ski jackets so be sure to do some research before purchasing.
