Cold weather gear is so hot right now
Okay, it’s actually a necessity, but cold weather gear is still trending at the moment. Of course, it’s winter, so that’s not surprising. Especially not to those of us who live in colder climates. And, since the winter solstice is this week, that means it’s officially chilly weather season. And although stocking up on gear to take it all on maybe doesn’t sound like the most fun way to celebrate, we can make your winter so much cozier with these clever products.
It’s not all puffy coats and boots. There are base layers, top layers, accessories…there are a ton of ways to keep your whole family warm and comfortable. And, since there are some brand new products in this list that we’ve never even seen before, you can be sure you’re nabbing the best heat helpers. Afterall, the idea of keeping our kids inside for the entire winter isn’t our favorite, and there are actually studies showing that there are lots of benefits to being outside even when it’s chilly. S0 here are a bunch of ways to stay warm while you’re out there.
