Winter Touring Setup
A 4-season loadout engineered for cold, wet, and unpredictable conditions. Heavier than a summer kit but built to keep you safe and warm when temperatures drop below freezing. Double-wall shelter, a true winter-rated bag, and robust lighting round out a setup designed for short daylight hours and long, cold nights.
