In a place where the weather changes often, like Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado, you’ll want gear that is versatile. Traveling in cold weather means throwing another wrench into your packing plans: you’ll need additional layers and possibly waterproof gear, plus whatever you’d normally wear to navigate airports, train stations, and cities. Fortunately, Craghoppers has your winter travel needs covered with fashionable, functional clothes that will not only keep you warm and dry, but that also look great.
For Men
365 5in1 Hooded Jacket
Craghoppers
The Men’s 365 5in1 Jacket might just be the most versatile garment you’ll ever own. Between the compresslite inner layer (which can be converted into a lightweight padded vest) and the waterproof-yet-breathable outer jacket, the 365 5in1’s five possible formats make it the ideal four-season jacket. This is great news for cold-weather globetrotters, since you can comfortably wear the jacket while traveling (by plane, train, or car) and outside.
Voyager Hybrid Jacket
Craghoppers
The lightweight Voyager Hybrid Jacket is as cozy as it is functional. The softshell hybrid combines a durable water-repellent finish and GORE-TEX Windstopper fabric with ThermoElite insulation, so the jacket has an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio. Baffling in the front keeps core heat next to the body and adds additional protection from the elements. With five pockets (plus a sunglasses hanger loop) and super-packability, it’s an ideal travel companion for cold weather.
Noa Waffle Knit Jumper
Craghoppers
Made with 80% soft, insulating lambswool, the Noa Waffle Knit Jumper is a good-looking, classically appealing sweater that goes with everything. The knitted fabric blend, which also contains polyamide for added warmth, traps body heat without compromising its light weight. The durable jumper is naturally water-resistant, but dries quickly if it does get wet. Best of all, it’ll look as great at dinner or walking around town as it does on the trail.
Dofri Wool Jacket With the perfect wool-to-polyester ratio, the Dofri Wool Jacket is an ideal mid-layer for cold weather travel. This cozy, insulating layer falls somewhere between an overshirt and a jacket, and with two stylish options—marled gray or black-and-gray plaid—it’ll pair perfectly with your entire travel wardrobe. The practical, lightweight Dofri also has two roomy breast pockets, and the soft wool means they won’t feel bulky.
Bardsey Cord
Craghoppers
The relaxed-fitting Bardsey Cord pant has a timeless appeal. The chunky corduroy design looks fantastic no matter what it’s paired with, and the comfortable fixed-waist fit and six pockets mean it’s ideal for traveling. There’s a reason our mothers dressed us in corduroy: this cotton fabric is warmer than your standard khaki or chino pant, but still looks sharp. It’s also more durable than a pair of jeans, so these pants will last you more than a few trips.
For Women
Nat Geo 250 Jacket Unlike most jackets that are actually warm enough to keep you comfortable, the Nat Geo 250 Jacket is slim-fitting and stylish enough to be comfortable when you’re outside but still looks great when you’re exploring the city. The outer layer has AquaDry technology, which means taped seams and a durable water-repellent finish that keeps you dry even in a downpour. There’s also a smartphone-specific pocket and another pocket with RFID protection, which keeps credit cards and passports safe from identity theft—perfect for international cold-weather travel.
Voyager Hybrid Jacket
Craghoppers
The women’s version of the Voyager Hybrid Jacket is every bit as capable as its male counterpart. A combination of reliable GORE-TEX Windstopper fabric and super-warm ThermoElite insulation means the Voyager is everything you need in a cold weather jacket. In addition to being both cozy and water-resistant (a rare combination), it’s got an RFID shield for added security and is compressible and packable, making it a great cold weather travel companion.
Erica Cardigan
Craghoppers
The stylish Erica Cardigan looks like a classic knit sweater, but feels like fleece. The blend of marled wool, acrylic, and polyester creates a soft, snug fabric, while the long cut and high collar make for a cozy-yet-flattering profile. Unlike many cardigans, it also has two pockets, so it’s an obvious choice for traveling in cold climates, especially since it’s fashionable enough to wear to dinner or around town.
Anja Sweater
Craghoppers
Garments like the Anja Sweater have been a winter staple for generations, and the first time you slip into the Anja, you’ll remember exactly why. The insulating knit is a blend of 80% lambswool and 20% polyamide, so it’s also naturally water-resistant. The chunky cable knit and snuggly roll collar aren’t the itchy wool of your youth. You’ll want to pack this handsome sweater for every cold weather trip.
Kiwi Trekking Trouser
Craghoppers
The Kiwi Trekking Trouser is a perennial Craghoppers favorite, and it’s as excellent for cold weather travel as it is the rest of the year. It’s not only comfortable; the Kiwi doesn’t restrict movement, so you’ll be able to hike, head to yoga, or stretch out on the train. They also have a flattering fit, and the SolarShield technology means your skin is safe from harmful rays, even the powerful reflections of the snow.
Unisex
Dolan Knit Hat and Scarf The Dolan Knit Hat and scarf, with their traditional Aran-style cable knit, are a perfect gender-neutral accessory for travelers looking for equal function and style. Both the hat and scarf evoke classic outdoorsy vibes and pair well with whatever else is in your suitcase, and the wool-acrylic blend means you can count on added insulation without the extra weight.
