Discover Essential Snow Gear
Snow gear systems require coordinated pieces that work together for comprehensive mountain protection and optimal performance during skiing and snowboarding adventures.
Ski Jackets and Shells
Ski jackets provide waterproof protection and breathability during dynamic mountain movement. These specialised jackets feature powder skirts, goggle pockets, and strategic ventilation systems designed specifically for alpine environments. Our Gore-Tex jackets ensure reliable weather protection while maintaining comfort during high-output skiing and snowboarding adventures.
Insulated Jackets
Snow gear requires efficient insulated jackets that provide integrated warmth without restricting movement or creating bulk during dynamic skiing. These technical mid-layers regulate body temperature during varying activity levels, from chairlift rides to aggressive skiing. The breathable construction and strategic insulation placement allow optimal thermal comfort while maintaining the mobility required for alpine performance and snowboarding adventures.
Technical Base Layers
Ski outfits depend on moisture-wicking base layers that manage perspiration and maintain comfort against the skin during extended mountain activities. These specialised foundations prevent overheating during high-output moments while providing essential warmth during periods of lower activity like chairlift rides and alpine starts.
Snow Pants and Protective Bottoms
Complete snow gear includes waterproof pants designed for skiing and snowboarding performance. These technical bottoms feature reinforced areas, strategic ventilation, and articulated construction that allows full range of motion during dynamic movements while providing comprehensive lower body protection from snow and moisture.
How to Layer a Ski Outfit
Snow gear utilises proven layering principles that optimise comfort and performance across varying mountain conditions and activity levels. This systematic approach allows precise temperature control by adjusting layers as conditions and exertion levels change throughout mountain adventures, ensuring optimal comfort from first chair to last run.
Base Layer: Choose moisture-wicking base layers that manage perspiration and provide foundational warmth against the skin during extended skiing activities.
Mid Layer: Select a fleece cardigan that provides breathable warmth without bulk, allowing easy temperature regulation during varying activity levels from chairlift rides to aggressive skiing.
Outer Layer: Layer with ski jackets or shell jackets that provide waterproof protection and wind resistance while maintaining breathability during high-output snow sports.
Essential Accessories: Explore beanies, technical socks and other temperature regulation accessories that prevent heat loss from your head during cold mountain conditions.
Care Instructions for Snow Gear
Ski outfits require specific maintenance to preserve technical performance and extend their lifespan through multiple mountain seasons. Regular cleaning removes salt, dirt, and body oils that compromise waterproof treatments and breathability, while proper storage prevents damage during off-season months.
