The colder months of 2025 are here, making it the perfect time to embrace winter days outdoors. With the right gear, there’s no reason not to enjoy the physical and mental benefits of spending time outside. Together with the experts at Trekitt, we’ve rounded up our top picks for staying warm, dry, and cosy as we ride out the remainder of winter.
Fjällräven Expedition Down Lite Jacket
Serious cold weather demands a seriously warm jacket, and Fjällräven’s legendary Expedition Down Lite Jacket is more than up to the task. Don’t let the word ‘Lite’ fool you though—this winter-ready hero is a marginally lighter descendant of the Swedish brand’s original Expedition Down Jacket. A generous layer of ethically sourced and fully traceable down insulation keeps chilly temperatures at bay, and its oversized fit means it’s easy to wear over other layers. A large, padded hood offers extra protection, and the recycled polyamide fabric is treated with a PFAS-free coating for protection from light rain or snow.
Cotopaxi Bacano Fleece Jacket
Cosy up in this retro-styled Bacano Fleece Jacket from Cotopaxi. Made from 100% recycled polyester, it has a high-pile texture that traps air to create a super warm, insulating layer. Easy to care for, the polyester fabric is durable, quick drying, and wicks moisture away from your skin or base layer, keeping you comfortable on damp days. Reinforcements on the zips, collar, and pockets add a stylish finish, while multiple pockets—including zipped hand pockets and an interior drop-in pocket with a hook-and-loop closure—provide plenty of storage for winter stroll essentials.
Patagonia M10 Anorak
Stay dry however wet it gets in this 100% waterproof and breathable anorak from Patagonia. Packed full of technical features, including a RECCO® reflector, a helmet-compatible hood, and an Xpore™ nanoporous membrane that helps keep you dry and comfortable. Whether you’re hitting the slopes, belaying at the crag, or just taking on your daily commute, the M10 Anorak has you covered. Constructed from recycled, bluesign®-approved fabrics and manufactured in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory, it’s also a responsibly produced choice.

Rab Glaceon Pro Jacket
Warm yet packable, the Glaceon Pro Jacket from British outdoor experts Rab is a great all-rounder for winter adventures. It’s insulated with recycled down, which offers an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, and the high-spec Pertex fabric makes it incredibly light and flexible for easy movement on the trails. The jacket is treated with Nikwax Fluorocarbon-free DWR coating to enhance protection against snow or light rain, and it features a fully adjustable and helmet-compatible hood with a stiffened peak.
Patagonia Point Peak Trail Pants
Durable and comfortable, the Point Peak Trail Pants are perfect for both gentle walks and more challenging hikes. Made from a blend of recycled nylon and elastane, they’re tough enough to stand up to rough terrain while still being super comfortable for all-day wear. Both the men’s and women’s models are made without harmful PFAS chemicals and are enhanced with reinforced panels in high-wear areas, well-placed pockets, and adjustment at the waist for a perfect fit.
