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.

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.
