Packing for any kind of vacation can be potentially stressful, but planning out what you need for a trip that is going to involve outdoor adventures—especially in winter—can be especially tricky.

Here is a packing list with some of the best brands to consider for assembling what you need to both enjoy and survive outdoor winter travel this year.

Aether

There are few outdoor apparel brands that marry function and fashion quite as seamlessly as Los Angeles-based Aether. The Southern California brand just launched a limited edition new line with Aspen Skiing Company’s innovation brand, AspenX. The nine-piece collection for men and women is comprised of essential mountain wear pieces inspired by high altitudes, snow-capped peaks, and a love for winter. Among the most flexible options that could work from fall to winter to spring (and built to last many more seasons to come) are the wool Ute Insulated Shirt with water-resistant contrast fabric at the yoke, collar, and elbow patches, and the Ozone Jacket, a lightweight, insulated jacket made with taffeta and Polartec fleece. Both are can function as either mid-layers or top layers.

Arc'teryx

Arc’teryx—which makes high performance outdoor equipment and clothing for men, women, and kids—says it uses the best materials to create the most refined and durable products possible with the intention that they will be reused and last for years. The Cerium Hoody is an example of product that is optimal at multiple temperatures, either as a top layer or mid-layer. Designed for the changing seasons when you need warmth but can do without the bulk, the versatile down puffer hoody, available in men's and women's sizes, is made with ultralight fabrics and designed for maximum performance and minimal impact in mind.

Girlfriend Collective

Based in Seattle, Girlfriend Collective gave an autumn-inspired refresh to its outdoor collection just in time for fall and winter, designed for all genders and identities with an inclusive size range. Made with 50% GRS-certified recycled cotton and 50% organic cotton, the brand's new sweats have the same feel of cozy sweatshirts while giving new life to post-industrial fabric scraps. The Pacific Northwest brand added 16 styles to its outerwear lineup in a variety of colorways, promising something for everyone, whether they're going to the Arctic or Arizona. The most travel-friendly items in the bunch would definitely be the packable puffers, such as The Hoodie Lightweight Puffer Jacket and the Micro Fleece Full Zip Jacket.
