nowboarders, skiers and ice climbers all seem to know one thing when it comes to their outerwear:
how to stay warm and yet somehow keep their "cool".
  In Vertical Limit, Peter Garrett (Chris O'Donnell) does just that as a climber who must embark up the K2 in order to save his sister. Whether braving avalanches or scaling an icy peak, he gets the job done with a look that's
edgy and energetic.
  And for yourself? Choose a bright color, such as orange, canary yellow or royal blue and run with it. Even up a mountain if you dare.
