The season is turning, so we’ve gathered a few of our favorite casual jackets to keep you in style on chilly fall days and nights.
Strafe Cham Jacket and Pants
We’ve been big fans of Strafe’s Cham Jacket and Pants, and this year they updated them with an all-new fabric. So how does the new kit compare to the previous version, and to the rest of the competition?
2019 Devinci Spartan

The North Face Morph Vest
Down vests have been around forever, but The North Face Morph Vest brings some interesting new tech to this classic insulation piece.

2020-2021 Rossignol Experience 92 Ti Basalt
The new Rossi Experience 94 Ti has a fairly forgiving shovel and a pretty powerful tail. So does it feel like more of a wider, dedicated carver? Or is it a truly versatile, go-anywhere, all-mountain ski? Check out our full review.
