The search for a cool earmuff is like finding cold fusion to these people. Swix makes several earmuffs, but this guy’s is one of their biggest. My favorite is the super small stealth-style earmuff you can wear without even putting on the headband—no one will notice! These are actually for wearing underneath your hat while cross country skiing, but why do you need earmuffs under a hat?

The Swiss should stick to making watches and knives for their famous army. The Swiss company Eleven has something out called the Eleven Edit Jacket. It’s in a bunch of modular pieces that you can swap to make your own unique look. A snap together jacket? It’s probably not the most waterproof or windproof thing out there.

It looks like Burton menthol, but it’s actually crusty ol’ Patagonia. The Slopestyle Hoody might be the best piece of gear Patagonia’s cut since the aforementioned Retro-X. It’s a subtle, low-tech piece of gear with a comfy feel and cut. It’s the one thing you can wear as a mid-layer on cold days, alone on spring days, and at the bar after every day of skiing. The front pockets are a little big since it looks like they’re sized to carry magazines around, but for $100 this is still a killer deal.
