Timbuk2 Cargo Tote
This heavy-duty zip-top tote is the ultimate bag for weekend road trips and overnight jaunts. The Cargo features the same three-panel design, waterproof liner and legendary-tough construction as Timbuk2’s original messenger bag. The rugged ballistic nylon exterior, waterproof interior, organizational pockets, extra long carrying handles and adjustable shoulder strap make this bag the easy choice for hauling your everything. Add a Quilted Laptop Sleeve and the Cargo becomes a great day bag for the office. The Cargo is available in three sizes and an array of colors.

Timbuk2 Marina Computer Handbag
Still haven’t found the perfect carry-on? Look no further than the Marina handbag. It’s spacious enough to carry your laptop, cords, reading material, a Nalgene, a snack and more. Extra-thick padding protects your electronic baby, a rubberized bottom keeps the restroom floor far from your things and unique no-slip shoulder handles make it as convenient as a backpack. The Marina's main compartment houses the Apple 15-inch PowerBook or any standard-sized PC laptop.

It’s tough to compete with all the homemade lids circulating around ski towns, but if you don’t have the patience to take up knitting and don’t feel like begging, Pistil offers the next best thing. With thoughtful designs and super soft Italian yarn and fabrics, Pistil is definitely the hat company on top. The Gigi, with its simple cut and extra thickness is an excellent all-around choice and comes in three cute shades. The Pima is another great lighter-weight option.
MSRP: $28

Ok, so these mittens are made for mountaineering, but hey, Jackson gets damn cold! Fingers aren’t an appendage you want to mess around with. You can go ahead and try other gloves, but if you want the hands-down warmest glove on the market, go with the Expedition Mitt. Marmot’s MemBrain waterproof outer layer protects the Primaloft insulation (Patented Synthetic Down) meaning your mitts are warm and dry no matter what. There’s nothing closer to a down sleeping bag for your hands. (If the Expedition Mitts are a little too warm for your tastes, try the Women's Randonnee Glove, the best all around mitten out there.)
MSRP: $100
