You say yes to cold weather adventure in the same way you’d say yes to coffee on Monday morning and free beer — with enthusiasm and without hesitation. That means you’ll need to be ready for weather that can deviate from forecasts and keep your core temp stable while never slowing you down or restricting your movement. And that’s just the type of adventure that the Terrex Skyclimb 2 Jacket from adidas Outdoor lives for.
