Any recommended websites/brands for rugged, but stylish, jackets? I've been searching high and low for a new winter jacket. every store I've been to has nice-looking jackets, but they're paper-thin (one of my friends who works at these stores told me they design them this way so you layer up and buy more clothing from the store. Screw that).

Can anyone suggest a jacket that's nice enough to wear outside, but is also durable and warm for the occasional hiking trip? :ohdear:

I don't quite understand what you're looking for -- a normal cold weather jacket that you can add to a t shirt and be okay in but that can also serve double duty on a hike, or some kind of warmer than usual hiking jacket, or just general hiking gear suggestions, or what? Is it mainly the style issue?
A warm, durable coat that doesn't look outdoors-y. I want to be stylish, comfortable, and warm. There are a lot of very warm jackets out there but they look like you're going mountaineering. Kind of strange to show up at the office wearing a jacket like that. And yes- it's mainly a style issue.

And thanks to the posters who shared the links above, by the way.

Maybe this one is still a little bit too outdoorsy but I have one and use it as my nicer winter coat. A bit heavy for hiking, though:

Those jackets look great! I'll definitely be spending the week browsing the three sites that've been posted. Thanks.

Can anyone recommend some good running + hiking shoes that do well in muddy, hilly terrain? I'll be running in the 'Run For Your Life' 5K obstacle course, and I don't think my running shoes will hold up well on such terrain!
