To review…
Small animals wearing big jackets: ha.
Blizzards of biblical proportions: no laughing matter.
So with the help of your new Swedish brothers-in-arms… here:
Worst-Case Scenario: You have to shovel snow. Solution: A 95%-goose-filled down jacket and gloves with a microfleece lining and suede palms. Efficient shoveling starts with a strong grip.
