By Janet Fraser 3 July, 2023 2 mins read

If you're an avid uphill skier seeking the perfect resort shell, or a backcountry adventurist ready to tackle mountains in full gear we have the best equipment on the current market. These jackets will keep you warm, dry, and comfortable no matter the conditions.

Top Ski Gear: All-Mountain & Backcountry Jackets

Before buying new ski gear, it is important to do some research on the conditions that you will be skiing in. Some uphill skiing enthusiasts are searching for jackets that provide insulation during cold chairlift trips, while others might be concerned about adding weight to their packs.

The best ski jackets have a material that is waterproof, windproof, and breathable. Some jackets have an insulated layer to keep you warm. Some come with additional features like an adjustable skirt for powder, pit vents, and pockets that can store your gear.

Gore-Tex C-Knit XC Ski Jacket

This GORETEX ski jacket offers everything you're looking for in a ski shell. The jacket is incredibly lightweight (weighing only 450-550g), highly breathable and moves with your movements. It also repels rain and wind without leaving a mark. The jacket also features super-lightweight, breathable thumb loops to prevent sleeves from catching up as you punch through snow. And the wrist gaiters are a nice addition.

Ortovox Piz Boe Insulated Men's Ski Jacket

Piz Boe's insulated shell has a wool blend that is thick and lofty, making it extremely warm. It's also light and breathable, with a wicking interior that helps it stay dry.

All the parts of the jacket, including the hood, collar and hem, are designed to be stretchy, so that they do not restrict your movement. They are also water-resistant and breatheable, and the jacket includes a removable cape designed for helmets.

Bibs for Skiing

There are many different options available for ski bibs. However, they tend to fall into three main categories: resort use only, active usage, and mild-weather. Some ski bibs are roomy enough to accommodate a range of base and midlayers, while others are snug-fitting to fit the body shape of the wearer.

Ski-specific bibs can be a little more challenging to find, but they usually have a streamlined design that's specifically designed for skiing. Some are designed to reduce bulk and increase range of movement, while others have a removable upper for greater versatility in the backcountry or on the slopes.

North Face's Kids' Ski Jacket has a great deal of stretch. It's also not a big puffer jacket, so it's perfect for younger skiers. It is also waterproof and breathable, with an ergonomically designed hood, pit ventilations, and goggle cloth that will help your child see better on the slopes.
