To snow bunnies in the know, Arc’Teryx ski gear has been a much-trusted favorite for extreme-condition sports like it; both because of the brand’s immaculate taste in design, and, of course, its remarkable wealth of material knowledge.
As we close out fall and prepare to plow into winter wonderlands, the need to discuss the growing Canadian brand’s best ski apparel came over me like that first fluffy fall of snow. If only to spotlight a company that’s seemingly continued to excel at two out of two said focal areas, accomplishing thereby the ultimate feat of charming meme-y gorpcore beanie bruhs, and serious athletes alike.
To beat frost, gales, and other threats of speeding down the slopes – or climbing back up ’em again – all the best Arc’Teryx skiing jackets have in common the make-up of their outermost membrane: Gore-Tex.
Beloved for its lightweight, highly protective properties, the specialty textile is an absolute indicator of quality. Whatever’s encased in it remains warm and bone try.
Don’t worry though, if ever you do feel a tad too toasty. Most Arc’Teryx skiing jackets feature underarm zippers for extra ventilation that won’t, however, expose more vulnerable regions – like your chest, for instance – to the cold.
Not all that dabble in this sport that is to descend into valleys on planks are in search of the same highs. While there are those that seek to outpace avalanches, others are less adrenaline-inclined, and enjoy comfier, maybe even cross-country tours through the powder.
From relaxed, pillowy downs to agile, aerodynamic windbreakers, Arc’Teryx ski gear can accommodate just about any outdoorsy pursuit imaginable, and is ideally paired with matching bottom halves for maximum style and performance.
So, feeling fri-ski for Arc’Teryx yet?
