Winter in the Bay Area is upon us, and it bears a particular range of characteristics. In most places, winter arrives with icy mornings, visible breath and the kind of cold that forces people into serious bundling. In the Bay Area, we get… microclimates. Survival here isn’t about brute strength, it’s about strategy. It’s about finding a way to carry sunglasses, a beanie, SPF 50 and an emotional-support jacket all at once.
Enter Bay FC’s secret weapon for transforming the Bay’s unpredictable winter into something citrus-bright and reliably cozy.
