Ski Suits
A step beyond having a snowsuit for colder weather, owning a proper ski suit is imperative before you hit the slopes. Whether you’re just a beginner starting out or an expert, a ski suit that’s windproof, waterproof, comfortable and warm is a must. Such as with all fashion, there are different styles and types made for men, women and youth made by well-known and trusted brands to help make your skiing venture an enjoyable one.
Men’s SuitsMen’s skiing and snowboarding clothing comes in array of different colours and styles. A popular pattern for men is camo or military styles, but there are also plain colours, such as red, black and grey. A men’s ski suit should come with both trouser and jacket. Some ski suits will feature a vest for underneath or a shirt but that inclusion is dependent on the brand. For the best in protection, look for a lined ski suit that’s also waterproof and helps block the wind.
Ski Suits for WomenWomen’s ski suits are similar to mens’ in that they come with typically two pieces - the jacket and trousers. Popular women’s colours include pink and black, but you can easily find a ski suit in virtually any colour of the rainbow. Just like men’s suits, women should opt for a padded jacket, with breathable trousers that help block wind and snow.
Youth Ski SuitsDepending on the age of the child, there are three types of youth ski suits - suits for girls, suits for girls and unisex suits. As many youth skis are unisex before a certain age, so are the suits themselves. Instead of trousers, many children’s suits include overall trousers and a jacket. This way, the trousers are ensured to stay on while the child is on the sloes. Look for a hooded, padded jacket with a fully lined pair of overall trousers for the best protection.
Ski AccessoriesA ski suit does not provide full protection, so when it comes to skiing and snowboarding equipment, you’ll need some accessories as well. Look for must-haves on the slopes to complement your suit, like a pair of sunglasses, skiing gloves and scarves. You may also want to consider a ski hat as well so that your body and face is fully covered. A ski mask is also a popular choice for coverage.
