SKI CLOTHING Our new collection of performance skiwear is the end-result of a lot of miles travelled to view ranges, a lot of hours spent working with designers and a lot of days spent putting our selections through their paces in a variety of demanding high mountain weather conditions. We split our collection into five categories, each answering the performance and sartorial aspirations of the greater ski family. Backcountry: Using cutting-edge garment construction and the pinnacle in durable waterproof and breathable fabrics, this clothing thrives in savage wind-scoured high altitude terrain and frigid bottomless snow back bowls. A predominantly GORE-TEX shell clothing category using the best mountaineering garments as a starting point then adding skier-specific features to deliver a lean and mean package with uncompromising performance.
Freestyle: Fashion-forward snowsports clothing for the freerider having fun all over the mountain, from the terrain park to backcountry hit sessions. Two looks stand out: bright high contrast colour blocking or retro outdoor styled utility wear.
BC Inspired: Mirroring the developing direction in snowsports hardware, easyaccess backcountry is also inspiring snowsports clothing trends. This is performance outerwear aimed at adventurous resort skiers seeking out lift-served off piste and easy access hike-to-ride terrain.
Prestige: This look is wealthy, fast and streamlined. Technical stretch waterproof and very breathable fabrics are expertly cut with a form-flattering fit. Women’s jackets are sleek and slimming, men’s jackets are broad shouldered with sharp engineered styling.
Alpine: Classic skiwear delivering high-end all weather protection and all day comfort. A great fit and easy-to-wear styling makes this category appeal to a broad base of skiers across all ages.
