How did we find the best winter products on the market? By putting them through their paces in the outdoors. We assembled a team of editors and testers to stretch the limits of ski gear, apparel, survival gadgets and more for an entire season. From a better helmet to a bargain winter pack to a foolproof firestarter, these eleven products come with the Backpacker stamp of approval.
