Day 12 from VPO Victoria: Outdoor Research Seattle Sombrero

When it comes to hiking on Vancouver Island in the winter, you'd be hard pressed to find a more essential piece of gear than the Seattle Sombrero! We love our SeaSom's in Victoria. Sure a good rain jacket will have a well protected hood, but this hat's wide brim and gore-tex membrane will keep your head dry, allowing you to vent with your collar down, while maintaining peripheral sightlines and preventing the annoying drippy hood we all know too well. As an added bonus, the Seattle Sombrero comes in a wide array of colour, to make you the most stylish trekker in the trees!

Day 11 from VPO Courtenay: Mountain Hardwear Super/DS Stretchdown Hooded Jacket

The Super/DS Stretchdown Hooded Jacket from Mountain Hardwear is a staff favourite. The durable stretch fabric allows this piece to move with you making it oh-so comfortable. Mountain Hardwear has combined the best of two worlds: the durability and protection of a shell, with the comfort and warmth of a down jacket.

Day 4 from VPO Canmore: Petzl IKO Core Headlamp

500 lumens at 79g is just the start! The IKO Core hugs your head and distributes the weight evenly between front and back, making it the most comfortable headband-style we've ever tried. Whether running, climbing (helmet compatible), skiing, biking, or reading in your tent (place your IKO inside the storage pouch for a lantern!), the IKO is a great performer.

Day 3 from VPO Revelstoke: Yeti Daytrip Lunch Box

The Daytrip'er is great for keeping your lunch fresh at work and your beers cold on an impromptu beach hang. Water resistance and its rock solid form means your lunch will be dry and not squished.

Day 2 from VPO Nanaimo: Kahtoola Micro Spikes

When crampons are too much and the little carbide spikes aren't enough, the Micro Spikes shine! These are amazing for hiking on packed snow trails in the winter. If you're heading up Benson for a day hike or cruising hard packed trails in Strathcona, these are a must have. They fit multiple different kinds of footwear from trail runners to full-on snow boots. The Kahtoola Micro Spikes are a Nanaimo staff favourite, and always in our packs once the snow flies.
