To survive winters in Eugene and have some fun along the way, braving the rain and overall glumness of the atmosphere is mandatory. Gray skies and routine downpours shouldn’t equate to an uneventful winter.

This sort of gear costs more than your average stocking stuffer, but when considering how efficient and durable it is, the prices are worth it.
