KÜHL
Temperature Regulator.
The brand “born in the mountains” presents the Aktivator Jacket, $219, featuring three levels of synthetic stretch insulation and thermal body mapping to deliver comforting warmth where the body needs it most. Breathable Aero Knit underarm panels release excess heat, while built-in stretch lets you move freely. The softshell is reinforced for increased durability in vulnerable areas, and offers wind and water resistance with casual, everyday style. The Aktivator is available in men’s and women’s sizes, offering mid-layer or stand-alone performance.
MOUNTAIN HARDWEAR
Stretch Session.
The Stretchdown Collection is made for those “who find comfort in the challenge,” with durable warmth and dynamic stretch as key features. For fall, the brand introduces a unisex Poncho ($300), along with a men’s Popover Hoody ($320) and Long Parka ($375). Stretchdown is offered in three distinct weights and baffles across the collection to cater to active pursuits. Its innovative design lacks stitches and glue, resulting in increased breathability, full range of mobility and fewer cold spots. All Stretchdown styles use RDS-certified and Bluesign-approved down fill.
BLACK DIAMOND
Slope Style.
Hit the slopes in subtle style with this lightweight, durable workhorse shell for men and women. The Recon Stretch LT Shell, $385, features three layers of protection from the elements. This garment combines BD.dry waterproof/breathable solution with a lightweight ripstop fabric for a best-in-class combo of durability, protection, and minimal weight. Aquaguard zippered pack compatible hand pockets (roomy enough for essentials like gloves, a beanie and headlamp) and a left sleeve Aquaguard zippered pass pocket keep important accessories dry and close to the vest.
RIDGE MERINO
Wooly Warmth.
Layer the Ediza Merino Fleece Jacket, $179.95, with a shirt or base layer and reap the benefits of Merino while on the move. The Ediza provides all the warm feels thanks to soft brushed Merino wool fleece, which puts natural fibers close to the body and gives warmth, temperature regulation and wicking power. Polartec Power Wool Fleece with Merino wool is next-to-skin, with a stretch nylon on the exterior. Fall ’23 release.
DAEHLIE
Blending Leisure + Performance.
Get two for one – performance and leisurewear – with the $130 Merino wool blend Comfy Half Zip Sweater. This all-around staple sweater makes a great stylish outer layer for cross country skiing, snowshoeing or winter hiking; or a marvelous mid layer under a ski jacket for chilly days on the alpine hill. A quilted, wind resistant lining in the front provides extra insulation to keep your core warm and a high, zippered collar provides additional comfort. With its classic Scandinavian style (Bjørn Dæhlie is a cross-country skiing legend), it also looks great for wearing around town or to stay warm between workouts.
PATAGONIA
Environmentally Elite.
Gore’s new ePE membrane (which is light and thin, yet strong, while also eliminating the need for long-lasting perfluorinated chemicals) is Patagonia’s big tech story for Fall ’23, with several snow and alpine styles incorporating the technology. One lifestyle piece – the men’s Stormshadow Parka, $899 – also gives it a spin. The super-warm three-layer parka features a 100% recycled face fabric made with diverted ocean-bound plastic. The 700-fill garment consists of 100% recycled goose and duck down reclaimed from down products. An insulated, fixed hood with hidden adjustment cords cinch down for protective warmth.
ICEBREAKER
Body Moving.
ZoneKnit body mapping technology is one of the nature-based firm’s biggest technologies, designed to actively regulate body temperature and let skin breathe during high-intensity activity. The ZoneKnit collection includes baselayers, vests, hoodies and more. The Women’s ZoneKnit Merino Insulated Vest Into the Deep, $310, is crafted from 100% Merino wool to assist in regulating body temperature in all weather conditions and resist odors. Premium core warmth is achieved through a quilted, insulated front panel which traps heat where it is needed most. A drop tail hem provides added coverage.
HELLY HANSEN
Moving Mountains.
Fall means adventurous fun with the women’s Odin Stretch Hooded Insulator 2.0, $260, from the Norwegian heritage brand.

FREE PEOPLE
Travel-Ready.
A trend-right jacket that is warm and packs down into a pillow for travel – sounds like a win, win. The brand’s first performance puffer is the Pippa Packable Puffer, $198, featuring vegan-friendly PrimaLoft insulation made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastics. The oversized, boxy jacket (for layering) is water-resistant, creating a barrier from wet conditions to keep you dry. It is part of the Free People Movement collection, which offers performance-ready activewear, practice-perfect styles and beyond-the-gym staples.
DKOTA GRIZZLY
Built to Last.
The men’s rugged lifestyle apparel company is focused on tough, reliable, comfortable, eye-catching pieces, rather than tracking trends. For fall, the Elias Shirt Jacket, $128, pairs a stretch twill shell with brushed mountain stripes for a sharp look that also moves, thanks to some stretch. Zippered chest pockets and grommet reinforced corners completes the package.
DOVETAIL
Work It.
Dovetail is launching the new women’s Freshley Dropseat Overall in Thermal Denim, $159, for fall. It adds two new tech features to the brand’s best-selling silhouette: a hidden zipper dropseat so there’s no dangling straps or material when “needing to go,” combined with Dovetail’s all-in-one thermal denim. The integrated hybrid fabric is durable heavy-duty stretch denim on the exterior, with a cozy interior comprised of Repreve TruTemp365 polyester for all the warmth without the bulk. Truth that it will keep you warm - the fabric was originally wear tested in Antarctica!

Natural Wonder.
