From Cold Weather Boots to Winter Gloves – This Season’s Must-Have Winter Accessories
As the air outside becomes crispier and linens are tucked back into storage for the next spring and summer seasons, planning your winter wardrobe is a must. Whether you live in a place where temperatures dip low on the thermometer or are heading to vacation at such a place (to ski, or just apres-ski), it’s important to make sure that the only bitter thing you encounter is the taste of your hot toddy.
From Cold Weather Boots to Winter Gloves – This Season’s Must-Have Winter Accessories
As the air outside becomes crispier and linens are tucked back into storage for the next spring and summer seasons, planning your winter wardrobe is a must. Whether you live in a place where temperatures dip low on the thermometer or are heading to vacation at such a place (to ski, or just apres-ski), it’s important to make sure that the only bitter thing you encounter is the taste of your hot toddy.
When building a wardrobe in general, basics are king above all. It’s important to have the essentials before anything else.Otherwise, what’s there to build off of? For winter accessories, be sure to pick up the standards: Winter goggles, winter gloves, and perhaps even a balaclava for when it just gets that cold. Once those are settled, the other fun gadgets may follow.
And, as we all know, winter accessories are not only meant for the everyday. They’re also meant for the moments when one seeks to channel their inner Shaun White on the slopes. When this is the case, it’s important that your winter accessories have the heat-tech or comfortable bans on goggles.
Below, we’ve put together some of the best Arctix Winter Accessories to choose from.
Keep Your Hands Warm with Winter Gloves
Seasonal winter gloves are a given. While cashmere and standard leather gloves are wonderful for dressier occasions, you might be in need of something a bit more durable – especially if you’re looking to do some physical labor or sporty events in them.
For men, consider our men’s snowcat gloves ($35 USD). Available in colors such as charcoal grey, black, and white, these gloves are the ideal standard snow gloves for the winter. Not only are they extremely durable and warm, but they’re also water resistant making them ideal for activities in the snow.
And, of course, for women, consider opting for our downhill gloves ($35 USD). They, too, pack the ideal heat tech and extra insulation for the extra warmth needed on those frigid days. But, wait! There’s more. The gloves are also equipped with a zippered pocket where you may stash a few belongings and have an adjustable wrist belt to ensure a snug fit. And plus, the gloves are offered in a wide string of colors such as pink, teal, blue, and black, to keep you stylish.
For the little ones coming along, fret not! If you’re getting your young ones starting early on the slopes, opt-in for these kid's winter gloves ($29 USD). Not only do they boast similar qualities to the aforementioned, but they are also lined with fleece, making sure they’re just as comfortable as they are effective.
Don’t Forget about Footwear!
While winter gloves are certainly essential to the wardrobe, cold-weather boots are perhaps the most important piece of winter accessories. Why? Because without them, getting around might be a bit difficult. Really difficult. If you’re looking for general boots, consider our Men’s Half Pipe Winter boot ($80 USD) or our women’s Below Zero Winter Boot ($65 USD). The first is equipped with soles with a fine grip, making them ideal as snow boots, too. The latter boasts this quality, too, but is also lined with warm fleece making it a tad warmer. Both boots are built with a tight shaft that boosts their protection from snow. But, say it’s not just snowing! Perhaps it’s a full-blown blizzard, or you're amid heavy snowfall. If you’re looking to up the antics with your snow boots, consider the men’s Nordic winter boot $(90 USD). Like the women’s aforementioned boot, this boot is equipped with faux shearling for added warmth, and sturdy D-rings to keep the laces secure and snow out.
And, of course, the young ones are not to be forgotten. Luckily, Arctix has two options for kids’ snow boots. The Kids T Bar Winter Boot ($55 USD) makes it easier for young ones to slip on as they feature double straps at the ankles to ensure a snug fit. The second, our Kids Powder Boots ($50 USD) is ideal for those prone to slipping. They’re equipped with ultra-grip soles and a waterproof outer shell making them ideal for playing out in the snow.
To Ski or To Apres-Ski?
Watersports are for the summer and snowsports are for the winter. And, like watersports, it’s important to make sure you’re properly geared up. Whether you hit the powdery slopes via skis or via snowboard, be sure to stock up on winter accessories that keep you both warm and safe.
If you’re catching speed, snowboard goggles are not just a want, but a need. Our Adult Ski Goggles ($60 USD) are sure to protect your eyes from wind, snow particles, or other outdoor debris that may be encountered on your way down the slopes. For kids, opt into our Kids Ski Goggles ($50 USD). Both sets of goggles feature an elastic strap so they may be easily adjusted and anti-fog screens to keep your vision crystal clear at all times.
For base layer warmth around the head and neck, you’ll want to adorn yourself with a balaclava hood. Think of them as the equivalent of, say, swim caps. Made out of a cozy “shell,” both our Adult Balaclava ($20 USD) and Kid’s Balaclava ($20 USD) are sure to keep your entire head and neck super warm. Wear underneath a parka or puffer for ultra-protection.
To top it all off, finish your ski look with an adult neck guard ($20 USD) to further keep out the wind and wet weather. The more protection, the merrier.
In Summary:
Cold-weather accessories are an essential part of one’s ski look. Whether your focus is on practicality or style, Arctix has you covered. Think of your winter accessories as a formula that comprises the essentials: winter boots, winter goggles for the slopes, gloves, balaclavas, and neck guards. And, why not have a bit of fun with it?

After all, who said winter has to be cold and dreary?
