Winter warmth

When we tenderfooted travellers are heading uphill to a white winter, we do appreciate being fluffed up better than your average snowgoose. And Columbia Sportswear&rsquos TurboDown jackets layer Omni-Heat synthetic insulation and re&shyflective technology over natural down for icebound adventurers&rsquo safety &mdash for the price of maybe just an extra night at a luxury hotel. Of course, they are water-re&shysistant too, and come in plenty of colours and two degrees of insulation to keep us cool ladies and gents cosy on the ski slopes. (Rs 10,999 onwards Columbia flagship stores in Select Citywalk mall, Delhi and Phoenix Market City, Bangalore, columbia.com)
