The Cottage Weekend Gear Guide – Northern Sun's Picks
Ah, the May long weekend. It’s that time when we all dream of sunny skies, cottage retreats, and the fresh breeze off the lake. But let’s be real—if you’re in Canada, you’re more likely to get a mix of wind, rain, and maybe a touch of sunshine as you’re packing up to head home.
Even with all that, we love it. Yard work, dock repairs, and spring clean-ups are all part of the messy, unpredictable joy. But there’s one thing I don’t love—turning my jackets into permanent 'Lake Jackets' because they didn’t survive the weekend.
This year, I’m mixing things up. My Portage Windbreaker is going everywhere with me. It’s light, packs easily, and when it inevitably gets covered in dirt (which it will), I toss it in the wash and let it air dry. No fuss, no muss. It’s already survived five cycles this year alone!
If you’re heading out for your own cottage adventures, grab one of our windbreakers and make sure messy fun doesn’t ruin your gear.
Stay adventurous, stay prepared—and enjoy $20 off anything in the store this week!
