What to Wear: The Perfect Outfit for Winter Travel

If you’ve found your next winter travel destination, the next step is getting there — and getting there in style. Balancing the demands of life on the road (whether by train, plane, or automobile) calls for functionality. Unlike the leisurely days of summer travel, winter can throw some pretty nasty elements your way in a hurry. That’s why the best outfit for winter travel gives you the ability to look great while staying warm and dry, no matter how bad it gets out there. From an insulated jacket to a classic chambray shirt, we’re pretty pleased with our roundup of the best men’s winter travel gear. We hope you are, too.

Let’s be real — winter travel can be a beast if you don’t have the right outerwear. The Kelvin Phantom Jacket has a slim-yet-mobile fit and is heated with next-level carbon-fiber technology. Oh, and the best part? It features a USB output to charge your devices on the move — and again, it’s a stylish and effective outerwear option for getting from point A to point B.

The path of least resistance is crowded: 5.11 launches ‘I am 5.11’
Clothing, Coat, Wood

The world is a harsh place. Every day can feel like outside your door is a constant battle to keep your head above water. You can push and push and push, and at the end of the day, feel like you have lost ground. So why would anyone wake up and take the hard road? The truth is, those people have figured out the secret no one tells you. The undeniable truth that you only discover when you reach out and try to touch something everyone else tells you is impossible: That harsh world, it is neutral. It isn’t out to get you. It is waiting for you to decide the obstacles won’t stop you. The desire to leap over the obstacles and capture your dreams comes down, not to fortune and manipulation, but to effort. At least, that is what 5.11’s new campaign, “I am 5.11,” is pushing with the help of motocross professional Carey Hart and NASCAR driver Hailie Deegan. A collection of clothes built for hard work and no boundaries.

It’s about moving forward, pushing yourself forward, and always challenging yourself. – Carey Hart
