Happy Apparel Week, FREESKIERS. This year, we’ve rounded up three of our favorite brands to rep on the slopes. They’ve got the latest and greatest tech and the sweetest designs to keep you on the slopes all season long. With another El Niño year underway, we’re expecting (& praying for) heaps of pow. This isn’t the year to overlook your outerwear setup. It’s easily as important as your hard goods, especially when flakes start flying. So gear up and get down. We’ll see you out there.
Picture Organic Clothing
Naikoon Jacket – $400
If style and function had a baby, it’d be the Naikoon jacket. Picture’s latest outerwear in spectra green features color blocking we can get behind. Their two-layer stretch engineered with Basic Thermal Dry System locks in warmth and keeps the cold at bay. Picture has always prioritized making a positive impact on Mother Nature, and this year’s line of clothing is no exception.
Welcome 3L Bib – $386
Paired with the Welcome 3L bib, this fit just makes sense. The bib’s hard-shell layer sits at a 20K/20K waterproof rating. When you sport this vibrant all-green outfit, you’ll be seen (and admired) across time zones.
Exa Jacket – $335
The Exa long-fit freeride jacket is back and better than before, now in a marble-pink pattern. With its adjustable ergonomic hood, this jacket ensures you remain free from blind spots.
Printed Pants – $235
For the ultimate drip, pair this jacket with the Exa Printed Pants, and you’ll turn heads on the snow. Both designed with a 20K/20K membrane, the exterior material becomes a serious weapon against cold weather and moisture. Thanks to the Lycra waist gaiter system, your pants will stay securely in place no matter what tricks you’re hitting. Both the jacket and matching pants come in a sleek, straight fit. Plus, you’ve got dual chest pockets, perfect for storing your fave snacks within easy reach.
Flylow
Lucy Jacket – $400
The understated Lucy jacket is high-performance without all the fuss. Sometimes you don’t need all the crazy amenities, you just need a dang good jacket to keep you warm on the mountain. Enter the Lucy. Constructed with recycled Tactic 3L, this jacket has a buttery, stretchy feel. You can enjoy this jacket in all kinds of weather.
Foxy Bib – $430
Match it with the ever-popular Foxy bib, and you’re ready to take on the day. These widely adored pantaloons are flattering and functional. But don’t be surprised if they become your go-to bib on cold days. And ladies, these pants don’t discriminate. There’s an easy access system for backcountry bathroom breaks. You don’t have to stop the fun when duty calls.
Quantum Pro – $430
Flylow succeeds in making gear for alpine skiers with a backcountry habit. The new Quantum Pro is a workhorse of a jacket featuring a tough Surface 3L fabric and waterproof membrane. It earns the Oeko-Tex certification, meaning the jacket’s been rigorously tested against harmful substances.
Baker Bib – $430
Flylow’s matching Baker bib was built with recycled perm HD fabric. What makes this bib so great is the reinforced knees, so you can rip tricks without fear of ripping holes in your pants. Durability is key for this kit, so if you’re searching for an all-mountain outfit you can beat up for a few seasons, this is it.
Orage
Torngat Jacket – $575
Light, flowy and extremely stretchy—that’s how we’d describe the Torngat jacket by Orage. This baby is a born adventurer, keen on conquering the coldest of days. Crafted from an ultra-lightweight 3-ply fabric, it’s lighter than air and as versatile as a chameleon, despite its vibrant iris exterior. Compared to other Orage jackets, the Torngat is more versatile than ever. It practically laughs in the face of inclement weather.
Cliff Bib 3 Ply – $550
When worn alongside Orage’s Cliff bib, it’s a match made in heaven. This bib isn’t bound to the resort, it’s ready to join you in the back and sidecountry. And with an extra belly pocket, you can keep all your goodies within reach.
Spurr Jacket 3 Ply – $605
All Spurr, no brr. The Spurr jacket by Orage was birthed in the cold backcountry. With every stitch, this jacket understands warmth. Orage field tested this bad boy in the PNW and BC to ensure the most ergonomically engineered jacket possible. And guess what? It lives up to the hype. Dermizax fabric keeps you warm and dry on the days you really need it.
Gibson Bib 3 Ply – $310
The matching Gibson bibs are a lean, mean fighting machine—against the cold, that is. The fully sealed seams and waterproofing combine to create a barrier that locks out unwanted moisture. This kit is every backcountry skier’s dream.
