winner of our Editor's Choice award. Gear Editor Amanda Fenn states, "The competition for the Editor's Choice winner was fierce, but out of more than a dozen synthetic insulated jackets, the Rab Xenon X Hoodie, which was recently released in fall 2013, took home the top prize. A technical jacket that still looks flattering enough to wear around town, it packs down into its chest pocket, and is warmer than other thin quilted models."
Columbia Kaleidaslope II:

winner of the Best Buy award for 2013. This award is bestowed upon a product that earns an extremely high score in our performance tests and is found at a reasonable price. Amanda Fenn gushes, " With its sassy faux fur-lined collar, attractive fabric paneling on the torso, and super flattering fit, it's hard not to love the Columbia Kaleidaslope II. It's warm, has fleece lined pockets, AND elastic thumb loops that keep your hands toasty. Plus…it's only $140, making it one of the most affordable jackets in this review…hello, Best Buy Award winner!"
Mountain Hardwear Thermostatic Jacket:

winner of the Top Pick award for a technical jacket that retains cozy and attractive features. This award is given to a product that excels at a specific application. According to Amanda Fenn, "We tested a brand new version of this jacket, released fall 2013. We thought this thin, lightweight jacket performed well during big adventures, but still looked great; it's on the lighter end of the weight spectrum and packs down to the size of a one-liter water bottle. Our only wish is that this piece had a gear loop so that we could clip it to a harness or backpack."
