When the winter chill starts to bite, you want to make sure that you’re wrapped up warm and so far as your menswear options are concerned, Finisterre should always be a first port of call in our opinion here at Coolector HQ. Check out some of their best winter warmer pieces below:

Thrills Not Spills Activist Crew Knit Jumper

Right, let’s talk about a piece of knitwear that does more than just keep the chill off—it throws down a serious environmental gauntlet. Meet the Activist Crew, a glorious, chunky knit that instantly becomes the most important piece in your winter wardrobe. This isn’t just wool; it’s a statement. Emblazoned with the ‘Thrills Not Spills’ graphic, it’s a beautifully blunt visual reminder of the heavy impact of oil spills and our core responsibility as surfers, and general ocean lovers, to protect our playground.

The design itself is striking: a surfer blissfully carving a huge wave, with a stark oil spill cutting across the foreground. It’s powerful, it’s necessary, and it’s damn cool. For those who appreciate authentic craftsmanship, this crew neck is knitted from 100% soft Kilkarra wool, sourced from our top-tier spinning partners at Donegal Yarns. That chunky weight gives it that incredible, comforting hand-knitted feel—like a vintage find pulled straight from a coastal cottage. It’s gear engineered for warmth, yes, but its true purpose is serving as a constant reminder that we must fiercely guard the marine environment that gifts us so much damn joy.

Skybird Waterproof Jacket

Look, nobody enjoys being ambushed by the sky weeping uncontrollably, especially when you’re mid-adventure. That’s where the Skybird swoops in. This isn’t some cumbersome, seasonal shell—it’s the ultimate defense against meteorological mayhem, purpose-built for those of us who refuse to let a little lashing rain derail the day, whether it’s a miserable November or a soggy August.

The Skybird is your year-round guardian against the downpour. We appreciate its slightly elongated silhouette, which offers that extra coverage where you need it most. Crucially, though, it remains featherlight, brilliantly breathable, and effortlessly packable—meaning it’s an absolute cinch to toss into your rucksack when the forecast looks dodgy. Throw in the high neck, which expertly banishes that icy wind chill, and a design that prioritises ergonomic movement, and you’ve got a jacket that keeps you dry without ever compromising your freedom. A seriously sharp piece of kit for the dedicated urban explorer.

Beardsmore Shirt

If there’s one staple every discerning gentleman requires, it’s that perfect shirt that seamlessly transitions from rugged outdoor pursuits to a chilled pint at the local. Enter the Beardsmore—quite simply Finisterre’s softest shirt, and instantly a contender for the most versatile piece in your arsenal.

This is a classic that hits the absolute sweet spot. It’s built tough, offering robust construction that promises to last, but thanks to the luxurious mid-weight brushed organic cotton, it delivers a level of super-soft comfort you’ll seriously appreciate on those colder days. Featuring our bespoke check pattern, the Beardsmore is casual, timeless, and ready to be your trusted partner whether you’re huddled around a campfire sharing tall tales or settling in at the pub table after a demanding coastal hike. This is effortless style, built for warmth, and ready for whatever your weekend throws at it.

Portell Wool Fleece Jacket

We’re all about gear that sticks around, and the Portell Fleece Jacket is engineered to become that seasoned outdoor staple you rely on for years to come. This isn’t just a replacement for the much-loved Hegen Fleece; it’s a serious upgrade, delivering natural warmth with a clear commitment to sustainability.

Built from a premium recycled wool blend, expertly spun and sourced in Italy, the Portell is a masterclass in merging heritage materials with modern utility. It elegantly combines all the natural warmth and superior breathability benefits of pure wool with the rugged style and hardiness of a classic fleece jacket. Featuring a full-length front zip, it’s lightweight and impressively hard-wearing, ensuring you can maximize your time outside and keep exploring, even as the days start drawing in. A brilliant, sustainable layer built to last.

Nebulas Insulated Jacket

When the mercury truly plummets and standard outerwear simply won’t cut it, you need to bring in the heavy artillery. Behold the Nebulas, Finisterre’s undisputed champion and by far their warmest insulated jacket—it’s an absolute cornerstone of their cold-weather collection.

This jacket is the perfect companion for those longer-lasting adventures where battling seriously frigid temperatures is part of the fun. Despite its incredible thermal performance, it remains surprisingly lightweight, making it highly functional without ever feeling bulky. Filled with high-performance recycled synthetic insulation, it locks in heat where you need it most. Plus, featuring fluorocarbon-free water repellency, it capably shrugs off drizzle and light showers. The Nebulas is pure confidence, engineered to keep you warm, dry, and focused on the exploration, no matter how harsh the elements get.

Selfost Nordic Patterned Crew Jumper

As the days draw in and the light begins to wane, there’s no better feeling than pulling on a truly substantial knit. We’re currently obsessed with the Selfost Crew, a classic Nordic jumper that brings effortless, rugged style right into the heart of the colder months.

This piece is a nod to the iconic Scandinavian fishing heritage, taking its distinctive design cues directly from those classic fisherman’s jumpers—meaning it’s built tough, but styled with intent. However, unlike some of the scratchier vintage versions, this crew is crafted from super-soft ZQ wool, ensuring maximum warmth without sacrificing comfort. It’s got that relaxed, welcoming fit, accented perfectly with subtle contrast colour tipping. This is our take on that wild, seafaring tradition: a timeless essential engineered to maximize your time outside, whatever the season throws at you.

Shipyard Insulated Gilet

Every man needs that rock-solid winter layering piece, and we’ve found a serious contender: the Shipyard Gilet. Taking its design cues from rugged US Navy deck jackets and classic utility styles, this is a hardy workwear staple that’s engineered to keep you fully operational right through the coldest months.

Don’t let the casual, timeless aesthetic fool you; the Shipyard Gilet is hiding some serious performance capabilities beneath that shell. It’s constructed using hard-wearing, high-performance recycled fabrics, proving that durability doesn’t need to come at the expense of sustainability. Key to its resilience is the 100% recycled REPREVE® insulation, which locks in warmth like a furnace. Add to that the critically taped seams for crucial weather protection, and you have a vest ready to shield you from the elements wherever your day—or your next adventure—takes you.
