Functional—and chic—clothes that will elevate your travel style quotient next year and beyond!
Ridge Merino Aspect Baselayer
Made of 84 percent merino wool and 16 percent nylon, this handsome long-sleeved top is reinforced with (m)Force Technology for better durability—50 percent stronger than comparable weights of merino fabrics—and a speedier dry time. The raglan sleeves eliminate the discomfort brought about by seams rubbing up against backpack straps (which, let’s be honest, is most irritating when you’re trying to get to your gate, McCallister family style). Pick up one in each color—there are seven—and consider that part of your packing list sorted.

This sleek glove will keep your hands toasty during bitter cold winters spent outside—whether shoveling, skiing, or outlet shopping. The SoftShell exterior keeps the elements out, and the Heatwave liner amplifies your body heat, raising the temperature by about 20 percent.
If you need extra dexterity, each mitt has a magnetic seam that lets your fingers out, while still being covered up.

Costa Paunch Sunglasses
These sunglasses may be inspired by the beach lifestyle and legendary surfing of Bocas Del Toro in Panama, but they are more than capable of traveling beyond its white sands. Their lightweight Bio-Resin frame works with the Hydrolite rubber nose pads to help keep the frames on. The 580 lenses absorb high-energy blue light (HEV), enhances reds, greens, and blues, and filters out harsh yellows.
