Four Brands That You Should Consider For Winter

January 16, 2023

Did you notice that winter in the past two years was totally changed? As a person who has lived in Rome for more than 4 years, I can barely adapt to this cold weather and practically wear fewer clothes than three years ago.

As a first-timer, I always put many layers to cover my tiny body before going to university. Since then, I have worn cotton shorts, a loose sweater, and a pair of wool socks at home. 

I traveled to some cities in Italy within two weeks and visited Milan, Como, and Venice. Those cities could be colder than Rome. In fact, yes, it's more complicated than Rome, but just less than I expected. One of my relatives from Indonesia started to handle the winter temperature. As you know, in Indonesia, we only have rainy and summer seasons, mainly summer. She asked for my suggestions for some brands worth buying, considering quality, style, and price. 

So, after a quick deep research, I made a brand list to advise my relatives where it would be helpful for you and those coming from tropical countries that you should consider for your winter holiday.

1. The North Face

HyBridge® Lite jacket is made with a high-quality, lightweight nylon outer shell that is both durable and water resistant. The jacket's lining is made of a soft, comfortable fabric that feels great against the skin, even during extended wear.

One of the key features of the HyBridge® Lite jacket is its strategic placement of down and synthetic insulation. The down providing excellent warmth where it is needed most, while the synthetic insulation is placed in high-wear areas, ensuring that the jacket will maintain its warmth even if it gets wet. With versatility design and packable, this jacket perfect for outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, or even commuting during winter day. (Price for HyBridge® Lite €750) 

Besides HyBridge® Lite, there is another one that also will be my favourite: Reversible Lorita. The style still versatile, but more stylish. With the high-quality materials and Canada Goose's signature down insulation, this reversible jacket will provide excellent warmth in cold temperatures, water-resistant and suitable for variety of outdoor activities and conditions, both casual and formal wear.

In conclusion, there is some advice from me if you need help deciding which brand you want to purchase. But first, ask yourself: Do I need this (jacket) for daily or special occasions? Then, you go to check this information to consider:


  • Think about materials

Check whether this jacket is made of water-resistant and wind-resistant to protect you or not. We can't predict the temperature or where we will live this year. We might go somewhere north to travel or somewhere in Europe with extreme wind. So, ensure that the jacket provides adequate insulation for the coldest temperature.

  • Style! 

Honestly, I will put this point on top, but I wanted to be neutral when writing this article. I always consider jackets based on style and color. Then less consideration of other things. It would be best if you thought of a style that suits your taste and the activities you will use the jacket. It must be essential to choose the coat with the fit size and ensure it is comfortable in various situations.


Last but not least, 

  • Brand reputation and Budget 

Brand reputation is related to quality, materials, technologies, and 'pride.' Rechecking others' customer satisfaction across the channel will be helpful before making a decision. Pay more if you feel comfortable, and boosting your confidence is okay. 


How about you? Let me know which brand you are interested in the most :)


xo,
