Three-in-one jackets, softshells, and windbreakers

A three-in-one jacket, like the Regatta Corviver or Wentwood, combines a waterproof outer jacket and an inner jacket, often a fleece, joined by a zip. Both can be worn together in very cold weather, the jacket alone in light rain during mid-season, and the fleece alone in dry weather: just one purchase covers three seasons. Compact jackets, like the Regatta Pack It or the Trespass Qikpac windbreaker, fold into their pocket and can stay at the bottom of the bag in case of rain.

The softshell, like the Peak Mountain Claude, holds an intermediate position: its stretchy fabric blocks the wind and resists light rain while being breathable, making it a great effort jacket for fast walking and outings in dry, cool weather. An emergency poncho rounds out the gear for trips where weight matters.

Sliding sports: wetsuits, vests, and booties

A wetsuit is chosen based on the water temperature, and its thickness is expressed in two numbers in millimetres: the first for the torso, the second for the arms and legs, which are thinner for mobility. A 3/2 is suitable for temperate water in late spring and summer, a 4/3 for autumn and cooler waters, and a 5/4, often with a hood, for winter on the Atlantic coast. The Billabong surf shorts step in when the water is warm.

The buoyancy vests from Jobe, made of neoprene, accompany wakeboarding, jet skiing, and paddleboarding. A buoyancy aid keeps a conscious swimmer afloat without flipping them onto their back and does not replace a life jacket in open water. Water shoes, like the adidas Terrex Hydro Lace, protect from rocks and dry quickly.

Mountains and cold: mittens and hand warmers

Mittens keep you warmer than gloves, as the fingers warm each other in the same compartment. Ski models like the Reusch World Champ add a waterproof membrane and leather reinforcement on the palm for holding poles. Hand warmers for hands and feet, like those from Yaktrax, activate on contact with air and release a gentle warmth for several hours, handy for days on the slopes or in the stands.

Camping: chairs, bottles, and insect repellent

Folding chairs from Regatta Isla fold flat into their cover and can be carried like a bag, ideal for camping, the beach, or tournaments. The Stanley IceFlow bottles and cups, with double-walled vacuum insulation, keep drinks cold for hours, and the foldable straw avoids the need to unscrew the cap. The Thermacell diffuser creates a mosquito-free zone around the patio or campsite, without flame or smoke, thanks to a heated repellent.

Frequently asked questions

How to use a parka with a removable fleece according to the weather?

A three-in-one jacket, like the Regatta Corviver or Wentwood, combines a waterproof jacket and a fleece. You wear both together in very cold weather, the jacket alone in mid-season rain and the fleece alone in dry weather.

When to choose a softshell over a waterproof jacket?

The softshell, stretchy and breathable, blocks the wind and resists light rain: it is suitable for effort in dry and cool weather. In heavy rain, only a jacket with a waterproof membrane will keep you dry.

What thickness of wetsuit for summer?

A three millimetre wetsuit or shorty is sufficient for warm water in summer. In cooler water or for long sessions, a thicker suit with booties will keep you warmer.

How do hand warmers work?

Disposable hand warmers heat up on contact with air through oxidation of iron powder, for several hours. Slipped into mittens or pockets, they relieve cold fingers during skiing, winter hiking, or while spectating.

Mittens or gloves: what to choose in very cold weather?

Mittens keep you warmer, as the fingers warm each other. Gloves offer more dexterity for handling poles, bindings, or phones, and a pair of thin liners combines both advantages.
