As much as Julie loves skiing and winter climbing, she does not like to be cold. The Seattle company Kavu knows that the best way to keep heat in is with a smart hat. Their Broiler cap has an ultrasoft microfleece lining that wicks away sweat. More important, it looks fetching, succeeding where other practical toppers fizzle. Sport socks aren't a girl's most fashion-forward accessory, but snowbunnies know better than to mess around with feet anyway.
Blisters are never sexy.
Frozen toes are never fun. Smartwool Expedition Trekker socks take the guesswork out of choosing footgear. The long, silky Merino wool fibers wick away sweat and provide a mosslike cushion for your soles. And these socks are itch-free, unless of course, you're allergic to wool, in which case Smartwool is not so brilliant. These black and white muffs will keep her ears warm and her hair smooth.
