Hestra: Bergvik Sport Classic Gloves | £90
The timeless, traditional style of these Bergvik gloves was a great consideration for us when choosing them for our list. When it comes to insulation, they make use of the best in modern design, Primaloft Gold, which is not only ideal for retaining warmth when wet but keeps the glove incredibly light at the same time. Crafted from high-quality goatskin and equipped with a wool cuff and polyester lining, they truly offer great protection against the elements.

Mammal: Women’s Lucia Winter Snow Boot | £120
Guaranteed to make you look right at home in your favourite après-ski spot, the stylish Lucia snow boots from Mammal feature a faux-fur trim and luxurious fleece lining to help keep your feet wonderfully cosy. Our favourite feature with these boots is the OC ice grip system that sits comfortably in the sole. If you find yourself facing icy conditions, it can then be flipped out to expose ice-gripping metal studs that sit below the toe-box and heel. What's more, these must have boots are also crafted from water-resistant Raintex fabric to ensure that they shrug off snow and water with ease! These would make a great gift for anyone who loves to spend time in wintery alpine conditions.
Mons Royale: Yotei Base Layer | £99
We love the Mons Royale Yotei Baselayer because of the great combination of comfort, quality, and style. The Yotei is woven using 100% ZQ-certified merino wool, meaning it not only can it naturally retain and regulate body warmth, it is also fast-drying and odour resistant. The ZQ certification ensures that the wool is traceable from garment to source and is provided by sheep that are afforded the highest welfare standards. These high standards in welfare translate to a high standard in this baselayer, with great next-to-skin comfort and thumb loops that help keep it in place.
