Keeping Cozy

Brightwater Clothing & Gear makes winter wear suggestions.

Staying warm in a Minnesota winter is something we’re always trying to master, so we asked Bill Damberg, the owner of Brightwater Clothing & Gear, to share his picks for combating this season’s cold.

A wool underlayer is great for wicking sweat and is surprisingly lightweight. Plus, its natural-fiber status means it won’t pick up body odors. Try one from Ibex, Icebreaker or Rambler’s Way. $60–$125

The ultimate luxury cold-weather item: the parka. A beautiful coyote fur-trimmed parka from Nobis of Canada, in versions for women and men, will keep you looking cool while feeling warm. $795 and up.
