Eddie Bauer
Looking for a breathable, moisture-wicking jacket that you can wear over a t-shirt, or slid in between a base layer and a heavier jacket when it's really cold outside? The Eddie Bauer Point Success fleece jacket, with its Polartec Power Stretch for flexibility and motion fits the bill. The jacket is available in men's and women's sizes and designs. I wore it in snow and on the ocean, read my review.
2. Bula StereoHead Hats
Keep the music coming with these Bula StereoHead beanies. They look like ordinary hats, but earphones are built into a micro-fleece liner. You can wash the hats because the earphones and wires are removable.3. Smith Turbo Fan Goggles for Snowsports Clear Foggy Views

7. Hiking and Walking Poles
Until you try a pair many hikers, even those in good shape, don't realize how much easier it is to hike up and down hills or mountainsides using walking poles. We've used them to scale mountainsides and walk up dozens of steps at ancient ruins in Peru. There are many brands of poles, but I suggest choosing a lightweight pair with shock absorbers.
