New fabrics, decorative details and colorful all-over prints – the new ski wear designs are as diverse as never. Cross functionality plays an increasingly important role in ski wear. The new ski garments are not only suitable for the slopes but also for city life. 3-ply or 2-ply functional materials are recommended, lined with a warm, functional fleece such as fabrics by 3M or Primaloft.
Material mix, sportive colourful inserts, functional materials, and a comfortable cut that allows for freedom of movement on the slopes or at the après-ski – you don’t need more for a successful start into the new Season.
