So this looks really cool: Loki makes shape-changing winter gear. Take the Loki Mitt: it's a mitt incorporated into the sleeve of a jacket. You can wear the jacket as a regular jacket, slip your hand into the integrated mitt and share your body's warmth with your hand, and even wear the mitt part with your fingers sticking out so you can do tasks that require dexterity. Or take the Loki Hat: it's got an all-in-one design that allows for hat venting and easy conversion from hat to mask to gaiter. It makes its own balaclava! I can imagine these clever clothes might be useful off the mountain as well as on, so don't worry if, like me, you're hopeless on a snowboard.
