Loki Shape Changing Jackets
Carrying around tons of gear in the winter can be a hassle, especially if you’re like me and tend to misplace a mitten or face mask every few days during ski season. That’s where Loki products come in. Loki is a company named after the shape changing God of Mischief in Scandinavian mythology and all their outwear is made to change shape to keep you warm and comfortable in chilly weather.
Loki’s jackets are the first to feature a built-in Face Shield and Mitts; both are unnoticeable when not in use, but are quick to activate. I tested these features on the Women’s Myth Soft Shell ($239), which is made from Midgard Soft Shell fabric that combines a windproof, water resistant membrane bonded to a soft inner fleece for maximum warmth and comfort. The Face Shield is easy to use, just reach back into the hood, grab the Face Shield fabric, pull it over your face and tighten the hood around it for full coverage. This forms a heat seal around your neck that keeps body heat locked in, but it can easily be removed if you get too hot.

When it comes to staying warm while outdoors this winter, what you wear underneath is as important as what you wear on top. Baselayers are available from many outdoor apparel companies and are made from multifunctional fabrics that help keep you warm and dry. I tested baselayers from a few companies and found some that I recommend for all your winter adventures.

 Video games were once considered a couch potato pastime, but with the advent of the Wii™ video games have gone from a sedentary to active hobby. They’re a great way to supplement outdoor activities when the warm weather fades and can even help you create and achieve fitness goals.
