Best Winter Camping Gear
Just because it’s cold outside doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy your favourite pastime. Here is the top winter camping gear to help you brave the elements this winter season.
Winter gear
NEMO Sonic sleeping bag. The thermo grill pack in this cold-weather sleeping bag will keep you warm in temperatures down to −30. The internal thermo-grill design vents body heat while regulating internal temperatures, keeping the bag from getting too hot or too cold. It was named the winner of Backpacker magazine’s 2015 Editor’s Choice Award.
Coleman 8-person instant tent. This spacious tent is sturdy and waterproof, guaranteed to protect you from unwanted critters and chilly weather. In addition to the removable divider between its two rooms, it has 7 windows for full ventilation.
Winter clothing
Norrona Roldal Warm1 shirt. This trendy shirt is also lightweight and loose. The Polartec micro fleece design keeps you warm without feeling smothered.
Outdoor Research StormTracker gloves. Gloves don’t have to be cumbersome to keep your hands warm. These are both durable and light, allowing you to keep your hands warm without sacrificing dexterity. The windproof shell, leather palm and mid-sized gauntlet cover your jacket sleeves to keep the cold air out.
Under Armour Clutchfit compression leggings. These leggings are an ideal base for your winter layering. The 4-way stretch fabric enables you to move freely, and the iso-chill mesh panels help vent and regulate body heat.
Camping accessories
Coast HL8 focusing 390 lumen LED headlamp. Fumbling around in the dark while trying to hold a flashlight in your mouth is less than ideal. The pure beam focus system allows you to easily switch between a wide angle flood light and a narrow focused beam.
Yeti thermos tumbler. Designed with double-wall vacuum insulation that keeps drinks hot or cold twice as long as competing plastic containers. When camping in the winter, you don’t want to make another pot of coffee because your cup got cold before you could drink it.
Cookware
JetBoil MiniMo stove. JetBoil’s MiniMo cooking system allows you to cook — not just add food to fire and hope for the best. The hot new feature is its simmer control.
GSI Outdoors Pinnacle Dualist cookset. This award-winning cook set is compact and ideal for travel. The set includes two bowls, two sporks, two insulated mugs with lids, a boiling pot with a locking, straining lid, a stove bag and a welded stuff-sack for dirty dishes.
