This isn't the first time we've seen Star Wars-themed outerwear, but this is the first one to be able to combine the ultimate bad-assery of Darth Vader with the old school hotness of the Adidas track jacket. Aside from some awesome graphics, it also has a detachable cape that you should probably detach before you go outside the house. Of course it has the classic three-stripe pattern down the sleeves and a full-zipper down the front. It's a limited edition run, so you better get one early or you'll have to use the force known as eBay. $100.

Bike-specific clothing has a well-earned reputation for being some of the ugliest garb on the planet. Pedaler takes a different approach, though, making threads you can wear in the saddle without being embarrassed to be seen. Their Day Night Hoodie is made from 70% bamboo and 30% cotton, so it will last longer and wick sweat much better than a typical hoodie. It will also be naturally less smelly once you're done on the pedals, so wearing it on a commuter ride is totally possible. It has a reflective logo and zipper to help make you more visible to cars that might otherwise run you over and there's even a pocket on the back like the ones you'd find on a traditional cycling jersey. $125.

The Sleeper hoodie is a fantastic idea that we have been in love with for a while now. It has a built-in MP3 player pocket with a cable port, an address label, zippered passport and ticket pockes and a removable, inflatable neck pillow that can help you get through that JFX to LAX flight without feeling like Fedor just punched you in the neck. It comes in both black and grey, but sadly it won't stop those fancy new security scanners at the airport from looking through her clothing. The best part is that it's made from tough cotton and has custom zippers and eyelets so it will last for a long time, even if it spends a lot of time crammed in overhead compartments next to enormous suitcases. $99.

With the amount of snowboard gear getting the high-tech treatment lately, we're surprised we haven't seen more companies giving their jackets upgrades past more pockets. The Shaper is meant to be everything to just about everyone. Fully intact, it's warm enough for serious slope time. But, if you get hot, you can actually zip the sleeves off. Other amenities include glow in the dark zippers and a built-in beer koozie. You can even flip the whole thing inside out to reveal the internal tool vest. There's even the essential MP3 player pocket so you can listen to music on the way up rather than talking to the weird guy the lifty sat you next to.

Novelty hoodies are nothing new, but this one walks a fine line between ridiculous and totally awesome. The arms and shoulders are equipped with "spikes," which are just pieces of the hoodie itself pulled through metal rings. When you pull the zipper all the way to the top, it creates a faceplate that covers your nose and mouth just like the real Shredder. Of course, the back is pretty much just purple, so anyone who sees you from behind won't get the joke and they'll just think you're wearing a purple hoodie. Also, you probably shouldn't plan on picking up any girls wearing it, unless they're the type to hang around Hot Topic in the mall. $60.

$1,300 is a lot to pay for a jacket, but you won't be thinking about money when you're laying under an avalanche and the scholler-PCM system is keeping you from freezing to death. The water-resistant micro-fiber shell protects what they call their PaniQ technology, which lets you plug your phone and MP3 player directly into your jacket and control them using a button pad on the sleeve. There's even a non-battery reflector to help you signal the rescue team and that big, shaggy dog with the barrel around its neck.

Flannel is back in full force for this season. But, if you're not ready to go full-on Farmer John style, you can get a little bit of those wonderful checks in the form of this stylish-but-burly winter coat. The nylon casing is windproof and water-resistant. Plus, it's filled with 80/20 goose down to keep your torso from freezing off all together once El Nino decides it's time to punish the entire northern part of the country. Expect to pay $200 to keep all your limbs from turning black and falling off in the cold.

If you happen to be in LA, New York or Miami on the 10th of October, you'll have the opportunity to pick up one of these limited edition jackets. Each one costs a hefty $395, but all of the profits go to support Lance Armstrong's charitable foundation. The jacket itself is made from water-resistant nylon that's tough and breathable, giving the jacket a simple and slick look. Plus, you can rub its high price tag in the face of the next douche you see showing off his yellow wriestband.

Sure, Halo: ODST has pretty much been ruining our lives since its release, but it's still a little weird running around the Halo universe inside the digital body of someone other than Master Chief. This hoodie, which is made to look like a replica of the Chief's Spartan armor is helping us get over the withdrawl a little, though. Sure, it sucks when it comes to protecting you from shotgun blasts, but this is the time of year when hoodies can really shine. Expect to pay $88 if you want one. Also expect to get unsolicited opinions about the Halo franchise from nerds on the street that care way too much when people like a video game that they don't.

This low-profile coat looks pretty warm, but you don't know the half of it. Inside, it's wired for their Ardica Heat technology, which electrically heats your core for up to 8.5 hours. You can also use the internal electronics to charge your gadgets in case you want to listen to your iPod while you're buried under a million tons of snow. There's no camo color option, but you can pick from black, blue or the playful "otter." That's their cute way of saying brown. But, we don't really care what color it is if it can keep our cell phone charged in the backcountry.

Most people know Fox for their MX racing equipment, but their new Deluxe line is made up of limited-edition runs of some seriously street-worthy threads. The Double Dagger Sasquatch is lined with feaux fur and has a quilted sleeve lining so it's the perfect companion for a long van ride to the snowboard park. But, like we said before, the edition is limited, so expect to pay more than you typically would for a hoodie, and that's if you actually manage to find one.
