For more protection from winter's bitter temps and icy winds, we zip into The North Face Ruby Parka. Down insulation traps warm air inside, while the water-repellent treatment sheds flurries and wintry mixes. As we stroll down the city's wind-tunnel streets, the storm hood and extended hem keep our toasty bubble large and protected, and the waist's belt lets us still maintain a chic silhouette.
