Winter Jackets For Men and Women
Br-r-r-r-r! Have you noticed that sudden chill in the air? Shivering a bit under your sweatshirt? Those faint flakes of snow and falling temperatures are Mother Nature's way of saying "What are you waiting for? Dig into that closet and pull out your winter jacket!"

There are winter jackets to suit every style and every sport, every gender and every age. For the rail commuter who just needs to stay warm between the train station and the taxi, a generously sized wool jacket to fit over business attire may be all that's necessary. For the professional woman who has to scrape the frost off her windshield before heading to work, a hooded, quilted jacket that zips up the front will keep her warm until the car heater takes over.
High-tech down and fleece jackets specifically designed for snowboarders, skiers, skaters and snowmobilers swarm the sporting good stores starting in early autumn and make excellent gifts. Jackets of this nature protect the winter athlete from long periods of exposure to icy temps and harsh winds; yet provide full range of movement. While a top quality jacket may come with a hefty price tag, the benefit of a warm, frostbite-free experience for the wearer is worth it! Popular manufacturers of winter sports jackets are North Face and Columbia.
Vibrant colors are best for winter jackets, for easy spotting in snowy settings. Dress children in jackets of bright red, orange, green, purple and blue – even on gray winter days their colorful jackets will be inviting, cheery and fun to wear.
Winter jackets intended for children's outdoor play should be water repellent, washable and most of all, warm! Sewn in soft cuffs, easy-to-grip zipper pulls (and non-metal zippers), and hoods with safety closures are all features of a safe and well-styled child's jacket. Avoid jackets with cord pulls anywhere on the jacket – these could post a hazard if caught on a branch or post.
When, alas, the snow melts and days grow longer, clear a space in the off-season closet and return your gear to its vacation home. Be sure to dry clean or launder all your jackets before storing them away, and protect them with garment covers. Assess sizes of your children's jackets; donate the ones that will be outgrown by next winter and shop current sales for next year's outerwear.
You'll be so prepared for winter there'll be no need for a nudge from Mother Nature!
