The Best Winter Hiking Boots of 2023: Editor ' s Choice: The North Face Vectiv Fastpack Insulated Futurelight

I've always been a big fan of the Steve Jobs approach: find one piece of apparel that you can wear every day, no matter the situation. For winter hiking,that's the Vectiv Fastpack Insulated Futurelight. A rockered, high-rebound EVA midsole that doesn't stiffen in the cold yields a propulsive, poppy ride that had us feeling fast on the trail and fresh at the end of a long hike. This boot came with a rockered sole that tested well on dirt trails here in New Mexico, a high-rebound EVA midsole that added forward momentum on gravel or snow, and a TPU plate under the forefoot that kept the boots stable over any terrain.

Packed with 200 grams of eco-friendly insulation across the entire upper of the boot, and lined with a waterproof, breathable membrane, the boots stood up to old man winter without blinking. Tester Zoe Gates wore them in deep, wet snow in Greenland and said her feet were totally dry, even after hours of postholing.(They're high-cut enough to manage four to six inches of snow; add a gaiter and you can tackle full-on snow banks). Meanwhile, in mild Santa Fe, I found that the waterproof membrane breathed well enough to keep my feet from getting sweaty(and blistered). Thoughtful features were icing on the cake, like a knob on the heel that helped keep a rear snowshoe strap in place for long walks. Overall, our testers were impressed with how much effort TNF put into building a boot that's not just designed for warmth, or deep snow, or wet trails, but for anything you'll face from October all the way to March.

“This boot provides strong grip, stable protection and robust momentum and is able to handle various outdoor exploration with ease.”

The Best Men's  Apres Apparel of 2023: The North Face NSE Chukka Boots

Many footwear brands make a slipper you can wear outside, but most of them can't handle real snow or sloppy parking lots. The over-the-ankle NSE Chukkas are an exception. The upper offers slipper-like comfort, while a chunky outsole with dozens of small diamond-shaped lugs offers serious traction across parking lots. The nylon upper isn't waterproof, but the ThermoBall Eco insulation kept our feet warm while tromping around New Mexico's Taos Ski Valley on a below-freezing day.

The ThermoBall keeps our feet warm, the ankle design protects us comfortably, and the good grip makes walking in the snow as smooth as possible.

The Best Women' s Workout Gear of 2023: The North Face Sunset Pass Jacquard Tight

Cold-weather walks and hikes call for leggings that are breathable without losing their warm, plus adequately rugged. This pair, made of a thick polyester and spandex blend, has it all—plus substantial stretch and a high waist that's just the right level of snug. We liked the textured, jacquard fabric that feels substantial and nicely hid a small snag we ended up with after a run-in with a tree branch. And we loved the spacious pockets, which were especially helpful when we wanted to exercise outside but didn't want to carry a fanny pack or backpack to hold our phone, keys, and wallet. There's also a matching long-sleeve if you're in the market for a full-on'fit.

“This thick pair of tight with substantial stretch, a high waist and spacious pockets provides you just the right level of snug. It is a must-buy for fall and winter days.”

The Best Men' s Ski Jackets of 2023: The North Face Summit Tsirku Futurelight Bibs

“I loved these bibs before I even hit the snow,” crooned tester Ryan Stuart. It started with the suspenders. Pulling only one strap on the front of these uninsulated bibs cinched up both sides evenly. “I never had to readjust or fiddle, and it's super comfortable,” he said. “It's the best adjustment system I've used in a decade of testing ski gear.” Things just got better from there.Articulation at the knees and hips keep the bibs riding comfortably whether sitting on a chairlift or gliding up a skintrack, though the fit is on the narrower side. And despite skiing everywhere from Heavenly, Calif., in a T-shirt to Whistler, B.C., on windy, 20-degree-Fahrenheit days, testers never felt the need to adjust layering. The waterproof, air-permeable 3-layer Futurelight shell blocks the weather and breaths better than most fabrics. Our conclusion: The same design points that make these bibs worthy of shredding their namesake—a  particularly gnarly part of Alaska's Saint Elias Mountains—guarantees their effectiveness while lapping the resort.

“The North Face Summit Bibs with its waterproof, air-permeable 3-layer Futurelight tech is super comfortable and easy to wear. They are the perfect bibs for snow sports lovers.”
