Developed for all weather and all terrain in Canada, Arc’teryx jackets offer complete comfort and protection this winter. With a range of options for men and women offering a waterproof hard shell, wind shell, composite and soft shell for mild weather, its jacket line spans all weather and conditions.

 

The all-around GORE-TEX Pro jackets are built for severe weather, priced in the $300–600 range and come with a warranty. The hard shell protects from harsh conditions while remaining clean looking and preserved. The down, insulated jackets and parkas are a bit more mobile, but with the same warmth and protection for the elements. Arc’teryx jackets range in style and function, but are all comfortable, durable and lasting.

 

Another durable, comfortable and warm option would be Marmot jackets. They range from $200–350 and provide protection for day-to-day use and transition well from one location to another. These jackets are better for everyday weather, rather than extreme conditions.

 

Rab jackets are designed for the active individual, providing warmth, protection and comfort for walking outside to climbing in extreme conditions. With prices ranging from $215–380, these jackets are incredible versatile and offer a wide range of motion. Lighter styles are still incredibly durable, warm and flexible.
