Even if it feels like the Arctic as soon as you step out the door, you don't need to feel like the weather is holding you back. For long hikes in cold, snowy conditions, choose men's insulated padded jacket. These jackets are ultralight and packable, while still retaining loft and providing crucial warmth in wet weather. The water-resistant shell offers some weather protection but stays warm even when the damp starts to seep through. If you need a men's winter coat that stands up to the elements, try out a windproof windbreaker or grab a waterproof coat with a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish.
