Peak Ascent™ Peruvian Hat Omni-Heat®
Banff, Crested Butte, Bozeman … besides exceptional snowfall, they all have one thing in common: extreme cold. Designed specifically for harsh winter environments like this, the Peak Ascent Peruvian’s Omni-Heat® thermal reflective lining keeps you 20-percent warmer than other hats like it.

because I thought it was nice and warm. I wish I could return it, because it does this thing where it gets all pointy and I feel like gandalf or something. It's warm, but I hope it stretches out and lays down around my head. Also, the black on black design isn't a design. I thought there would be two different blacks making that snowflake pattern, but it's kinda boring and plain. I feel like a ninja... a very warm, whimsical ninja.
December sunshine is weak at best; so better to provide your own source of heat. The aptly named Plush Peak Full Zip cancels out the cold with luscious, über-toasty high pile fleece.

I wanted something warmer. It's really pretty, but kinda thin. I also didn't realize how long it was. The band at the bottom was kinda small, so it's more like one of those slouchie fit hoodies. I returned it. It's only been a day, so I can't comment on their return processing.
Winter sunrises cast an ethereal glow that is not to be missed, but low temperatures can make rockin’ the dawn patrol a chilly endeavor. Slide into the Back Beauty Heat pant for low-profile, high-performing warmth that will keep you cozy while you wait for Mr. Sun.

I returned these- I think even if they hadn't been too small I would have returned them because they make that loud swish sound when you walk. I read reviews that said to get a size bigger because they run small. The size chart placed me at a 6, so I ordered an 8. Too small! I think I would've exchanged them if they weren't so loud. They were very warm and I may have just been irritated about the sound because I was miffed about the fit. who knows. Get these pants in at least 1 size bigger that you think you need, maybe you'll love them.
I would recommend this product.

I was really excited about this jacket- I commute by bicycle and wanted something tho keep me warm and dry that would look a little more dressed up than my other rain gear. My problems were that it was tight across the chest- I'm not a big girl, I wear a 34b, and usually find jackets fit tight across my shoulders, not my chest. The really strange thing was the sleeves. I don't have skinny arms, usually women's long sleeved shirts fit me tight in the arms, I'm just kinda muscular, what can I say? But this jacket has really wide arms... and the sleeves are long. I have never had this problem. The inside cuff that's supposed to keep drafts out also keeps the extra length bunched up the length of your arm. Not comfortable or attractive. One more thing- the zipper is hard to do, at least the one on my jacket was. I only tried it a few times, but it took about 20 seconds to get the thing to zip. Not what I had in mind. I just sent this back and expect a refund somewhat soonish.
I do not recommend this product.
