Getting your player ready...
Can gloves be warm and waterproof without being stiff and clunky? Drizone Packable Gloves from Sierra Designs fit that bill. Primaloft insulation, a synthetic down alternative, is packed inside a waterproofed nylon shell, and elastic cuffs keep snow out. They come in men’s and women’s sizes. Also available as mittens in a quilted stitch pattern, which are warmer than gloves — though at a sacrifice of finger use. Includes stuff sack. Drizone Packable Gloves, $45; mittens, $40.
