Purple Star emoji 16 items
Winter coats and snow gear are the one seasonal purchase you can't put off, because the popular sizes disappear before the first real cold snap, and grandparents always ask what the kids actually need. This is the whole family's cold-weather list in ...

Baby & Toddler Snow Gear

 
Fate Winczuk profile picture
The one-piece answer to a baby who can't walk yet but still has to get from the car seat to the front door in February. It zips head to toe with fold-over mitts and booties built in, so you're not wrestling separate gloves onto a six-month-old, and t...
Columbia Unisex Baby Snuggly Bunny Ii Bunting

The mitten problem, solved by two design choices: a long cuff that goes up over the coat sleeve so snow can't pack into the wrist, and a stay-on strap so they don't get pulled off and abandoned in the parking lot. Waterproof shell, fleece lining, and...
HIGHCAMP Kids Waterproof Winter Gloves
 
Fate Winczuk profile picture
The two-piece version of a snowsuit, which is the one that actually gets used past age two. Jacket and bib pants separate, so the coat comes off indoors without a full undressing, and the bib straps keep the pants from sliding down every time a toddl...

Kids' Winter Coats & Snow Bibs

 
Fate Winczuk profile picture
The kids' coat that gets worn every single day from November to March, not just on snow days. It's a thermal-reflective insulated puffer that's warm without the bulk that stops a kid from bending their arms, and the fit runs long enough to sit down i...
Columbia Kids Powder Lite II Hooded Jacket

Fate Winczuk profile picture
Snow pants a kid can actually get on by themselves, which is the whole point when you're trying to get out the door. The bib style means no gap at the waist when they're face-down in a snowbank, the shell is waterproof rather than just water-resistan...
Arctix Kids Insulated Snow Bib Overalls
 
Fate Winczuk profile picture
The layer that makes a winter coat work harder. A soft fleece hoodie in sizes 2 through 6X that goes under the puffer on the coldest mornings and stands on its own as the jacket in October and again in March, which is most of the cold season in a lot...
Columbia Girl's 2-6X Benton II Hoodie

Waterproof Snow Boots for the Whole Family

 
Fate Winczuk profile picture
The kids' boot with numbers you can actually check: a -25°F comfort rating, a waterproof upper, and an adjustable snow collar so snow doesn't pour in when they wade through a drift. The thermal liner pulls out, which is the feature that matters most,...
Kamik Snobuster 1 Kids Snow Boots

Fate Winczuk profile picture
The winter boot you can wear somewhere other than a ski hill. Waterproof upper, sealed seams, a felt inner liner for warmth, and a rubber outsole with real tread for icy sidewalks, all on a low silhouette that works with jeans for school pickup or a ...
SOREL Women's Out N About lV Waterproof Boot
placeholder
 
Fate Winczuk profile picture
The step up for when waterproof isn't the problem and actual warmth is. A taller insulated boot with a waterproof suede and rubber shell, a lace-and-hook fit that closes up around the calf, and a lug outsole for packed snow. This is the pick if you'r...
Sorel Women's Tivoli V Waterproof Snow Boot

Women's Winter Coats

 
Fate Winczuk profile picture
The length is the point. It hits mid-thigh, so you're covered while sitting in a cold car or standing at a game, which is the part shorter puffers get wrong. Thermal-reflective lining, a water-resistant shell, and a hood, in a quilted shape that read...
Columbia Women’s Heavenly Long Hooded Jacket
 
Fate Winczuk profile picture
A heavyweight hooded down coat cut long enough to cover the hips, built for standing outside rather than a five-minute walk to the car. Down fill does the warming instead of sheer thickness, which is why it feels warmer than a synthetic puffer of the...
Orolay Women's Thickened Down Jacket
 
Fate Winczuk profile picture
The in-between coat, for the stretch when a parka is too much and a cardigan isn't enough. Lightweight, water-resistant, hooded, and it compresses down small enough to live in the car or go in a carry-on for a cold-weather trip. It also comes in plus...
Amazon Essentials Women's Lightweight Water-Resistant Hooded Puffer Coat

Men's Winter Jackets

 
Fate Winczuk profile picture
The jacket for the guy who's outside because he has to be, not because he's on a hike. Washed cotton duck shell that's already broken in, quilted lining, triple-stitched main seams, and a hood. It handles shoveling the driveway, hauling firewood, and...
Carhartt Men's Washed Duck Active Jac
 
Fate Winczuk profile picture
The other kind of winter jacket: light, warm, and not a work coat. Thermal-reflective lining, a water-resistant shell, and a slim quilted cut that layers under a shell for skiing or works on its own for a commute. It's the pick for the guy who compla...
Columbia Men's Powder Lite II Hooded Jacket

Cold-Weather Extras That Save the Morning

 
Fate Winczuk profile picture
The thing nobody thinks to buy until the second winter, when they're stuffing newspaper into wet boots at 9pm. It sits by the door and dries boots, gloves, and snow pants overnight with warm circulating air, which means nobody starts the day in damp ...
DryGuy Electric Shoe, Boot & Gear Dryer
 
Fate Winczuk profile picture
Buy the 40-pair box in the fall and stop thinking about it. Air-activated, disposable, and small enough to slip into a mitten or a coat pocket before a parade, a football game, or standing on a soccer sideline in November. They're what makes the diff...
