Stay warm all day
Base layers
High-tech long johns will keep you unbelievably toasty, whether you’re wearing them under jeans, rain pants or snow bibs. Try base layers once and you’ll become a convert. Consider kids Rocky thermals, women’s merino wool thermal pants and men’s merino wool thermal shirt.
Protect your neck
Never underestimate a neck covering when it comes to making you feel infinitely cozier in harsh weather. If you’re playing hard and don’t want to bother with a scarf, a Turtle Fur fleece neck warmer will do the same job with fewer gaps and less fuss.
Hand warmers
Take advantage of power-activated heat with a hand warmer that uses a lithium-ion battery and doubles as a phone charger. Slip one inside each mitten or in your pockets to keep your digits limber.
Touch screen gloves
Want to get outside but need to stay semi-available for a work call or important text? Or maybe snap some cute photos of your kids dodging raindrops? Consider a pair of touch screen gloves woven with copper wire to allow easy iPhone or Android access.
