Never back down from an intimidating cold front or snow-filled forecast with the right gear keeping you cozy! Your skis and boards may be tuned and ready to take on the icy or powdery conditions, but is your warm gear equipped to handle hours of biting wind, wet snow, and below-average frosty temps? Before your plans to explore every trail on the map transform into sipping hot cocoa in the lodge, check out the best online ski gear to stay safe, comfortable, and ready for whatever the mountain brings.
Prevent the Chill With Balanced Weatherproofing & Breathability
Even the most advanced insulation is rendered useless if your coat is unable to keep the wet and wind at bay. While searching for an insulated coat to maintain maximum comfort, you’ll want to explore options that feature balanced breathability and weatherproofing. While an impenetrable outer layer may seem like the best option, these types of shells can trap perspiration and lead to dangerous levels of internal chill.
Fortunately, companies like Burton clothing design their coats for a greater variety of skiing and riding conditions. Lightweight and flexible outer fabrics boast added breathability for enhanced comfort on warmer days, while still protecting you on the wet and cold days with verified weatherproof ratings to keep the chill away.
Innovative Synthetics & Softer Wool Blends
Consider a new set of interior liners if you’re currently wearing cotton (which traps moisture) or 100% wool (which is just uncomfortable and itchy). The latest modern synthetics are form-fitting, ultra-breathable, and engineered to evaporate the moisture while keeping more of the warmth in. For those super cold days, be on the lookout for options like Lifa Merino that feature synthetic/wool blends for optimal comfort and added safety on frost-bitten days.
Prevent Frozen Feet With the Right Shoewear
We all know that feeling; you’re warm everywhere else except your completely frozen toes. Our toes are one of the most exposed areas while skiing, boarding, or simply walking around the base area. To combat this common frozen-toe dilemma, we suggest looking for products that have insulated interiors, additional protection around the toe box, and waterproof stitching/outer fabrics. For men, we like The Northface’s rugged lineup, and for women, your toes will appreciate UGG and their ultra-warm sheepskin liners.
Protect Your Neck & Face
Often overlooked while gearing up, but equally important to protect; your neck and face are at risk of frostbite, even on days that don’t seem that cold. We have an extensive line of neck, face, and full-hood varieties to keep your cheeks toasty and your nose a little less red!
Explore the Casual Comfort at Ski Bum
So, you’ve survived the slopes, but still, need something warm and stylish for the rest of your trip? We feature multi-season casual coats and jackets and are looking out for our clients’ warmth with a great variety of options to keep you cozy long after you pack up the skis, boards, and boots.
