Debonair Looks - Active Wear In The Winter
Posted: Monday, February 05, 2007
By: John W. DeFeo

It’s always beneficial to “look the part.” Flipping through some old vacation photographs earlier this week I was reminded of a trip to San Onofre. With gorgeous beaches only accessible via trails cut into sandstone bluffs, San Onofre is a beach where California natives reside. One warm August afternoon I lay tanning on a rocky strip of beach popular amongst surfers. As the sun was facilitating a golden slumber I was awoke by laughter. I flipped over to see what the joke was.

The joke happened to be a very pasty French man sporting a bright red Speedo. The laughter was emanating from a small group of board-shorted surfers. “Boy does this guy seem out of place” was running through everyone’s mind.

Back to reality. It’s cold outside. Winter has finally arrived — and so comes the opportunity for some snowy fun. Alas, most ski resort vacationers are ill equipped to hit the slopes. The surfers in San Onofre were thoroughly amused by a mis-dressed Frenchman. The natives of the Okemo tribe will share a chuckle at your expense if they see you shredding the pow-pow in a Pea Coat.

Active wear is an essential part of any well-rounded winter wardrobe. But for many city-dwellers, affordable and stylish choices can be a difficult find. If you’re looking to add a little pop to that white, icy blanket, we at Debonair suggest that you check out REI.

REI sports a massive catalog of outdoor apparel and accessories at highly competitive prices and boasts a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Founded in 1938, REI donates millions of dollars to environmental conservation efforts and has remained in FORTUNE’s 100 Best Companies To Work For since the rankings began.

Editor’s Note: We have heard a rumor that on February 9th, REI will further discount all sale items ending in “.83” by an additional 50%

Good Skiing and Good Shopping
