The secret to staying warm isn’t thick clothes, but layering. So even though it’s going to be freezing up there, don’t pack a heavy jacket. Combining lightweight fleeces is more flexible and warmer.
Capestorm Puffadder
Such a simple garment, the Puffadder is a classic that’s adored by everyone who owns one. What makes it work is the fabric and fit. The Entropy Thermodynamic fleece is lightweight, soft and warm. It’s also quick-drying and odour-resistant and it doesn’t end up bobbly, even after 100 washes. For extra warmth, wear two Puffadders together, or team it with a midweight fleece jacket.

Capestorm Sani Summit
You just have to rub the fabric of the Sani Summit between your fingers to feel its promise of warmth and snuggliness. The Entropy microfleece is apparently as tough as it is soft and the styling is simultaneously smart and practical: zip-up collar, two outer zip pockets, two large inner pockets and a drawcord at the waist. There’s one bit of bad news about this jacket, though: Capestorm only make it for women. (Guys, take a look at the Reactor jacket.)

Ray’s Tip: Zip It!
Nope, this isn’t computer jargon! When choosing fleeces & jackets, choose the ones with more zips… as this gives you more control when regulating your body temperature.
