Urban Lumberjacks: We Found Your Winter Jacket

Hate to break it to you, but it’s time to start shopping for winter gear. You might think that means a bulky parka or the closest rainproof jacket within reach, but hold up one sec: Cole Haan’s just released their new collaboration with Mountain Hardwear, a California-based company known for their high-tech outdoor gear—we’re talking the kind of stuff worn by actual mountaineers who scale mountains, not stroll through a city’s downtown.

Following in the footsteps of the athleisure trend, the goal was to marry Cole Haan’s stylish edge with Mountain Hardwead’s functionality and the result is a success. The Zerogrand collection, six items including outerwear and one backpack,  incorporates high-performance fabrics and insulation invented for those real-life mountaineers we’re talking about (plus skiers, hikers, and your most outdoorsy friends) who also like to look like they’re pulled together, meaning it’s stylish enough for urban warriors.
