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

ecologyst makes all of its apparel in North America. So they can reduce their carbon footprint, ensure great working conditions for garment workers, and keep a close eye on quality. The Hoodie is also made of 100% certified organic cotton. And like all ecologyst garments, it’s guaranteed for life. So if the zipper wears out or you get a snag, send it back to ecologyst and they’ll fix it for free. If they can’t, they’ll replace it with something comparable.

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.

The SnowFlip was an instant hit with our five-year-old girl tester. The reversible design means the style never gets tired. And the brim is a winter must-have since it lessens the need for sunglasses on bright days.
