Men
WEDZE MEN’S DOWNHILL SKI JACKET 500 – GREEN – £64.99
This jacket has been designed with a hybrid of down and recycled wadding to keep the wearer snug even on cold days.
The high collar also helps ensure warmth and protection from the cold air.
Thanks to the inner waterproof membrane layer and taped seams, this jacket ensures no moisture can seep in. What’s more, the outer fabric is water repellent to prevent the jacket absorbing water and weighing skiers down while perfecting runs.
A ventilation strip on the back allows airflow to the body to prevent overheating and will wick moisture away if the sun does make an appearance on the slopes.

Skiers will be ready for anything in these thermal trousers. Designed with water repellent fabric on the outside and a waterproof inner membrane, the wearer can take comfort knowing their lower half is protected from the elements.
The trousers are warm thanks to the recycled wadding used for insulation, however they remain breathable due to the vents on the inner leg that can be opened via a zip, to prevent overheating.
Additionally, the Velcro straps on the waistband mean the trousers can be adjusted to ensure the perfect fit, leaving skiers to focus on their slope performance.

As well as a water repellent outer layer and a waterproof inner membrane layer, this jacket features a snow skirt and adjustable sleeve cuffs to ensure no snow enters the jacket even if skiers do take a fall.
What’s more, the high collar on the jacket provides comfort and warmth to provide protection from icy winds.
