The Winter Down Hooded Vest is a down-insulated and water-repellent pullover vest. The vest features a recycled nylon ripstop material treated with a DWR finish and recycled downfill. Additional details include FIDLOCK hardware on the adjustable belt and buttoned front pouch, half-zip front, and a brimmed hood for added face protection.

Designed and created by Snow Peak to complement the collaborative TDS Niobium Concept 3, the vest features a color scheme and pattern inspired by the winter sky and a print featuring excerpts from Kenji Miyazawa's famous poem, Ame Ni Mo Makezu.

Dressing for the winter runs is tricky. Not only does the temperature matter but the wind speed, any precipitation, cloud cover (or lack there of), time of day, real feel temp, and humidity can all change what you need to wear to stay comfortable when running during the depths of winter.

You will definitely want to stay away from cotton and instead choose synthetic fibers. The synthetic fibers will pull moisture away from your skin and leave you feeling much more comfortable and minimize your risk for frostbite or hypothermia.

I have provided links to quality gear I would recommend for each item. (Some links are commission-earning, some are not.) I honestly believe 90% of the time you get what you pay for, so I often opt to spend a little more for quality gear that I know will work and last several years. I put an asterisk(*) next to my favorite item if I have one for the category.

At 10 degrees Fahrenheit (-12* C) is when things start to get really cold for me. I still brave the cold because it is better than the treadmill, but it is even harder to get motivated to go outside. However, good gear makes it more tolerable, and I have finally found a pair of tights that actually keep my legs warm, which is shocking because my legs turn red in 30 degree weather sometimes.

Baselayers

(I only need a thin baselayer with the Down for It All Jacket because it is so warm. However, if you do need a thicker, warmer base layer, there is a good list under the 20*F section.)

The biggest difference is that the Down for it All Jacket is made with down and the Another Mile Jacket is made with synthetic fibers. (and both have their pros and cons) I thought the Another Mile Jacket seemed a little too thick/bulkier for running, but it does have a part that you could zip out, which might be nice in certain situations.

Thanks for all this information! I need to invest in new cold weather gear as the cold days are the hardest for me to get out on! Quick question, what type of footwear or gear for shoes do you wear for snowy/possibly slick runs?

Finding a great winter jacket doesn't have to be a chore. With seemingly endless options, we've taken the guesswork out of staying warm this winter. We've been playing in the cold since 2012 and tested well over 100 of the best, most popular, and top-rated winter jackets for men and women to help you discover which is the best one to keep you cozy this winter. We've traipsed around in sub-zero temperatures, wandered through whipping winter winds, and shoveled heaps of heavy snow in these jackets. We've worn them over thick layers of fleece and while standing under the pounding shower to see what they can handle. From dog walks and tailgates to alpine explorations and polar vacations, we've put these jackets through a huge variety of tests in all kinds of conditions to find out which ones are best for wherever you roam.

A top-notch jacket is a key component of keeping you warm all winter. Whether you want the best winter jacket for women or are searching for the top men's winter jackets, we've got recommendations for you. Looking for a puffy down jacket for men or the best women's down jacket? We've tested those too. We've also tested the top insulated jackets for women and the best insulated jackets for men to keep you warm however you prefer to layer. We've also tested the best winter boots to keep your toes toasty.

An easy favorite for our female testers, the Fjallraven Nuuk withstands some of the coldest temperatures we've experienced. Equipped with a faux-fur ruff, a spacious collar, and a zipper that goes all the way up to your nose, the Nuuk keeps out biting wind and bitter temperatures. We love that it is virtually waterproof yet breathable enough to keep you from melting beneath your layers. The Nuuk is packed with an abundance of useful pockets inside and out. There are plenty to keep your necessities dry and safe. The roomy cut allows for lots of layers, a big bonus for prolonged winter excursions.

While not the warmest jacket in our lineup, the Nuuk came pretty darn close, and the balance of warmth and wearable style was one of our favorite features. We appreciate that the cozy amount of insulation doesn't come at the cost of style or quality. Some of the warmer jackets we reviewed fell short in these metrics and lacked some versatility. Not so with the Nuuk. It strikes a great balance between function and form and is a jacket we would grab for everything from casual dog park runs to evening after-dinner strolls through town.

The Fjallraven Nuuk is a great choice if you want warmth without sacrificing style and comfort without sacrificing durability. The cut is roomy enough to add layers underneath if you need an extra boost of warmth without looking frumpy. It is full of pockets, cinches, and other features to improve performance, but all is tucked away in a sleek-looking package. Choosing the best outdoor gear can sometimes mean opting for function over form; this jacket is for those who want the best of both worlds.

We didn't love hauling the Nuuk around indoors, though. It is large and hefty, making it less enjoyable to carry around the mall while shopping or to your gate at the airport. In that case, you may opt for something like the Outdoor Research Coze Down Parka, which weighs less, but will keep you warm from nose to knees. The ample cut of the Nuuk can also be a bit too generous, and some of our testers found the sleeves much too long. Though it kept us dry, the Nuuk's face fabric held onto water in our shower tests, and it's not our top pick for wet weather. If you want to stay outside when it's cold enough for all the water to freeze, the Nuuk is sure to keep you warm and cozy.

Cold, wet, snowy conditions are no problem for the Fjallraven Nuuk Parka. This jacket's roots are firmly planted in Scandinavian culture (Sweden), where winters are dark and very chilly. The Nuuk's first line of defense is a thick polyamide shell (recycled polyester) laminated with a waterproof polyurethane membrane. It is insulated by layers of dense Supreme Microloft synthetic insulation, designed to trap warm air by mimicking down. All combined, this beast of a parka tips the scales at nearly 5 lbs (our heaviest), giving it an appealing, weighted, protective feel. It's rugged, warm, and has more pockets than a fishing vest. It's also very comfortable and built to last. Its synthetic fur-lined hood gives the Nuuk a serious Arctic vibe, but this jacket isn't built for a full-blown polar expedition. That said, it's still one of the warmest parkas we've tested, and with proper base layers, it will get you through some of the coldest stretches of winter.

On brand for Fjallraven, the style of the Nuuk Parka manages to bridge the gap between rugged and urban, and the quality of construction means it will perform well in both environments without looking out of place. The versatility is one of our favorite features of this jacket. We brought this jacket on a mission to find the northern lights in the farthest reaches of northern Sweden, where we hung out in temps as low as -15. We then brought it into town to wander the Christmas market. We stayed warm and felt stylish while doing it.
