Snow Peak’s latest outerwear offering takes a quiet approach to technical performance, with three layers designed to cover everything from wet winter weather to unpredictable conditions during the transition into colder months. At the top of the line sits the GORE-TEX Waterproof Down Jacket, priced at £1,095, which is also the most expensive offering in the list. The jacket is described as the highest-specification doen outerwear in Snow Peak Apparel history. It combines down insulation with GORE-TEX’s latest two-layer waterproof and breathable fabric, cresting a heavyweight option for when the forecast turns cold and wet.
For something lighter, the Nylon Double Rip Anorak, priced at £160, takes a more relaxed everyday approach. Finished with a water-repellent treatment, it is designed to shake off sudden showers while drying quickly, with moderate wind resistance making it suited tto changeable conditions. The Pertex Quantum Air Jacket, priced at £245, goes even lighter. This jacket uses Japanese ripstop fabric for a windproof, packable shell. Its generous fit also leaves enough room for a mid-layer as temperatures begin to drop.
Merrell 1TRL Moab 2 Slide Woven
Completing the outdoor-minded selection, Merrell 1TRL reqorks its iconic Moab into the Moab 2 Slide Woven. Despite the more casual construction, the Moab 2 Slide Woven keeps the chunky Vibram sole that has become synonymous with the Moab, keeping a clear connection to Merrell’s trail-focused heritage. The woven upper also changes the proportions and feel of the shoe, giving it a more open, tactile appearance.
The Moab 2 Slide Woven fits somewhere between a hiking shoe, mule and lifestyle sneaker, making it an easy option for moving vetween the city streets and less predictable terrain. A selection of neutral and darker colourways keeps the seasonal palette understated.
