Cold weather comes with the territory in Canada, but that doesn’t mean you have to spend the season indoors. With the right layers, there’s still plenty of time to get outside and enjoy everything the colder months have to offer.
That’s where Columbia comes in. With options for men, women and kids, there’s something for every member of the family. We’ve rounded up a few of our favourite picks to carry you from chilly fall days right through winter.
Women's Columbia Amaze Puff Long Hooded Jacket
For those bitterly cold days when a shorter jacket just won’t cut it, the Columbia Amaze Puff Long Hooded Jacket brings some serious warmth. With 650 fill power down insulation and a longer length, it’s designed to keep you cozy when temperatures drop, with enough room underneath for an extra layer.
Omni-Shield™ technology helps repel moisture and resist stains, while the adjustable hood and comfort cuffs with thumbholes add extra protection from the cold. One of our favourite features is the removable interior shoulder straps, which let you carry the jacket hands-free when you head indoors or the weather warms up.
Men's Columbia Bugaboot III Boot
A reliable pair of winter boots is a must when the snow and slush arrive. The Columbia Bugaboot III is built to handle winter weather with a waterproof leather upper and 200g insulation to help keep feet warm and dry through cold, wet conditions.
Underfoot, lightweight TechLite™ cushioning keeps things comfortable, while the Omni-Grip™ outsole provides dependable traction across a variety of surfaces. From snowy sidewalks to winter weekends outdoors, the Bugaboot III is a solid option for the season ahead.
Kid's Columbia Portlander Omni-Heat Boot
Winter doesn’t exactly stop kids from wanting to get outside, so a good pair of boots needs to be ready for snow, slush and plenty of play. The Columbia Portlander Omni-Heat Boot combines waterproof, breathable protection with 200g insulation to help keep little feet warm and dry.
A fleece-lined collar adds extra comfort, and the bungee lace makes them easy to adjust before heading out the door. TechLite™ cushioning and an Omni-Grip™ outsole help provide the comfort and traction they need to keep moving all winter.
Infant Columbia Tiny Bear II Bunting
For the littlest member of the family, it’s hard to beat something that’s both practical and ridiculously cute. The Columbia Tiny Bear II Bunting is made from soft, warm fleece to keep little ones cozy on colder days, with fold-over cuffs to help keep tiny hands and feet covered.
The asymmetrical zipper makes getting bundled up a little easier, while the hood adds some extra coverage when the temperature drops. And, of course, we can’t talk about the Tiny Bear without mentioning the little bear ears on top. They may not technically make it any warmer, but they certainly make it cuter.
Columbia Fast Trek II Gaiter
Sometimes the simplest layers make a big difference. The Columbia Fast Trek II Gaiter is made from ultra-soft microfleece, adding an extra bit of warmth around your neck when the wind starts to bite.
Lightweight and easy to throw on before heading outside, it’s a handy addition to your cold-weather gear. It also tucks easily into a coat pocket or bag, so you can keep it close when the temperature drops.
