Whatever situation you’re in, check out our top picks for cold-weather adventures.

Base Layers

Pnuma Outdoors IconX Heated Core Vest

The IconX Heated Core Vest features a groundbreaking design that delivers warmth exactly where your body needs it—right next to your body. Pnuma Outdoors married this close-contact warmth with the unmatched moisture-wicking and muscle support of IconX performance, resulting in one of the most advanced base layers available. With three heat settings, it offers consistent warmth without adding bulk, all while allowing for a free range of motion.

Pnuma Base Haven Pant

Pnuma’s Base Haven Pant offers breathability, durability, and moisture-wicking properties, and that’s just the start. These baselayer pants are cozy enough for lounging at home or around camp, yet versatile enough to keep you warm and dry when temperatures drop and layering is essential. Designed with a synthetic blend that moves with you, they ensure a full range of motion without slowing you down. Featuring an athletic fit, a soft waistband, and a convenient front fly, they deliver both comfort and performance.

Mid Layers

Filson Mackinaw Wool Jac Shirt

The Filson Mackinaw Wool Jac-Shirt offers the warmth of a coat with the comfort of a shirt. Made from 100% virgin wool, it naturally wicks moisture to the tips of its fibers for evaporation—a process unmatched by any man-made fabric, making wool the trusted choice for weather protection. The button-front closure and adjustable cuffs allow for easy temperature control, while the flapped front pockets keep essentials within reach.

5.11 Tactical Fleece 2.0

The 5.11 Tactical Fleece 2.0 provides exceptional warmth and works equally well as a standalone jacket. This updated version features an anti-pilling fleece body with a 100% water-resistant nylon overlay on the upper body for added protection during rainy weather. Hidden utility pockets and internal chest pockets offer secure storage for your essentials, while side zippers, an adjustable front hem with a shock cord system, and hand warmer pockets enhance comfort and functionality.

Outer Layers

Filson Down Cruiser Jacket

The Filson Down Cruiser features a shell primarily made from Cover Cloth, the brand’s lightest oil-finish waxed fabric, treated with a special wax blend for maximum water resistance. For added durability, they’ve reinforced the pockets, cuffs, and lower back with Shelter Cloth, their midweight oil-finish fabric. A Merino wool-lined collar keeps your neck warm even in harsh, windy conditions. The interior chest zip pocket securely holds your phone or valuables, while wool-blend rib-knit cuffs trap warmth and offer a snug fit. The lightweight 1.4-oz. ripstop nylon lining adds comfort without bulk. Insulated with premium goose down, composed of large, soft clusters that trap heat with thousands of tiny filaments, this jacket ensures exceptional warmth.

Beyond Clothing Cetra Durable K7 Jacket

Stay ready for the cold without sacrificing mobility with the Cetra Durable K7 Jacket from Beyond Clothing. PrimaLoft Gold Eco Insulation delivers warmth without adding bulk, and the jacket packs down easily into a stuff sack for convenient storage. With weather-resistant protection to block moisture and a fast-drying design, this jacket keeps you comfortable even in wet conditions.

Pnuma Vintis Pant

Prepare for cold-weather hunts and adventures with the Pnuma Vintis Pant, your ultimate shield against bone-chilling winds. Expertly designed, this pant combines whisper-quiet microfleece with the powerful PNUMABLOCK layer for unmatched protection, all while preserving your mobility and stealth. Despite its lightweight and comfortable feel, it delivers the warmth and wind resistance of a much bulkier garment. Equipped with 60 grams of PrimaLoft Silver insulation, it’s perfect for mid to late-season hunts, keeping you warm without restricting movement. The silicone anti-slip waistband ensures a secure fit, so you can focus entirely on the hunt.

Beyond Clothing Guide Glove

Lightweight PrimaLoft® insulation and a wool-blend lining shield you from the cold, while pre-curved fingers with e-tips on the index and thumb maintain dexterity and touchscreen compatibility.
