Backed by a lifetime guarantee, the ecologyst Peak Hoodie is made with organic cotton fleece and has a minimalistic peaked hood and ribbing along the sides for mobility no matter your outdoor adventure. Available in Clay, Pacific, and Lichen, this is a Forever Hoody, as customer Nathan S shares: “I bought my first Peak hoody 15 years ago and it’s still going―worn by me and my then-girlfriend (now wife). It’s the best.” www.ecologyst.com

Costa Santiago

Fishing and paddling don’t stop when it’s cold and neither do we. The Santiago‘s Untangled frame style offers the most coverage and “fishability” and takes its name from Chile’s capital. Hooding and side shields help keep your eyes free from light leak and focused on the water. Keeper-ready temples and Hydrolite rubber grips are designed to keep you fishing or paddling no matter how rough it gets out there. And the scratch-proof Blue Lightwave Glass lenses reveal all the clarity and detail you need on that water—and they’re 20% thinner and 22% lighter than average polarized glass.
