Touted by Colorado-based GoLite as a parka for all-around use, the Roan Plateau does not disappoint. Filled with lofty 800-fill down, the jacket is exceedingly warm – and shockingly so at a mere 19 ounces. Don a t-shirt underneath and it wouldn't be a stretch to expect the jacket to keep you toasty for evening strolls in blustery mountain towns well into the lower 30s.

There are some adventurers out there who call a good time strapping skinny planks to their feet and getting towed hundreds of miles through a frozen landscape by their canine companion.
I'm not one of those people. I'm originally from Southern California, where neither cross-country skis nor sub-zero temperatures are considered fun and our water is warm and wet.

Out on the trail, having a good pair of hiking poles can make a big difference. For example, poles can make the difference between nimbly navigating a choppy talus field and limping back to the car with a swollen ankle.
