Gear: Stio Woolsey Jacket

February 5th, 2014 • BY

Don’t be fooled by its city-coat styling: The Stio Woolsey ($295) has plenty of mountain cred. It’s windproof, for starters, and that gust-blocking membrane proved its mettle on many frigid bus-stop stakeouts, when it kept me warmer than my air-permeable puffy.

Made of Pontetorto’s TecnoWool (which mixes sheep fibers with 48% polyester and 3% cashmere), the Woolsey is also less bulky than down, and the trim silhouette pairs perfectly with a pair of heeled boots.

The defined waistline gives the jacket some structure and makes it more flattering to most women than sack-like parkas. A DWR treatment improves upon wool’s own natural water-repellent nature and kept me dry through heavy snow and light rain. And the ultra-high, neck-hugging collar seals in body heat. Paired with a cozy toque, the Woolsey repels winter’s worst.

Best of all, this jacket straddles two worlds with ease—the Stio Woolsey is svelte enough for heels but tough enough for mountain blizzards.

About

Once upon a time, contributor Kelly Bastone lived in the Big City of Denver, Colorado, where she visited the mountains as much as she could. Then she wised up and flipped the arrangement: Ten years ago, she moved to Steamboat Springs, where she skis (resort, skate, and backcountry), hikes, mountain bikes, fly-fishes--and occasionally ventures forth from her beautiful mountain valley to visit cities worldwide.
