Welcome Spring With Our March Must Haves

As I recently moved from San Diego to San Francisco, I traded my sunny boardwalk runs along the shoreline for brisk, freezing cool jaunts through Golden Gate Park. This climate adjustment has also called for a slight change in wardrobe. Eddie Bauer sympathized, and allowed me to try the Women's IgniteLite Hybrid Vest ($99) from their adventure-inspired activewear line. I'm pretty picky when it comes to my activewear — to the point of sacrificing function for fashion on occasion — but this piece is both sleek and technical. PrimaLoft insulation and FreeHeat fabric are great for warmth and temperature regulation, and it's machine washable. Practicality wins major points, in my book.
