They say the holidays should be about what you want, not what you need. We say why not make it a bit of both? Here, we've assembled a list of the nine outdoorsy, travel-ly products we've been lusting over all year to ensure Northwest winter adventures of the highest caliber. (Pssst: We won't judge if you decide you need a few of these for yourself.)

In the latest Pendleton collaboration, the iconic brand partners up with the gearheads at Poler to splash eye-popping patterns on everything from tents to coolers. We're especially fond of the Jacquard Poncho—because whose heart doesn’t beat a little faster at the thought of being swaddled tight in the snuggly depths of a poncho? $130 at polerstuff.com

We love Shwood and we cannot lie. Our obsession with Portland’s wooden sunglasses maker continues into winter with the Belmont frame in sustainably harvested Zebrawood—keeping snow glare to a minimum and swag to the maximum. $159 at shwoodshop.com

Don’t let a bulky bag weigh you down on the mountain. Store your gear in the sleek Dakine Women's Team Heli Pro 20L Backpack, which looks as good in town as it does in the backcountry, featuring a padded laptop sleeve, a fleece-lined goggle pocket, and a diagonal ski carry. $100 at dakine.com

In Stumptown, it goes without saying that one can never have too many things made from wood.
