Looking for the warmest piece of clothing in the world? Here it is. The North Face’s Himalayan Suit is designed for Everest, K2…and anything close to them. It’s all down, in fact 800 fill goosedown on the body and 700 on the limbs. Internal water bottle pockets, drop seat construction (wouldn’t want to have take the whole thing off when you have to go) and internal suspenders. If you’re cold in this, you should probably either see a doctor or start hiking down. $1,000 BUY

A great outerlayer from Patagonia. Highly breathable, warm but light, and compact – 60% of the Lunar Jacket comes from recycled polyester made from soda bottles. They even put the shoulder seams on the front in case you find yourself with a backpack on in the Himalayas. Inner collar is lined with a protective layer, and the jacket itself can be recycled if the day ever comes. Likely won’t be for a long time – as Patagonia has a lifetime guarantee on its products, meaning if anything goes wrong…ever…you can walk in or send it in and have it replaced. Top quality, top customer service. $160. BUY
