The best ski brands to pack this winter

Top Picks

It’s that time of year–winter season is here and that means it’s also ski season. But before hitting the slopes, sort out your ski gear with Next Destination’s top picks for the best ski brands to keep warm.

Let’s aim to embrace winter this year! One easy way to ensure that winter doesn’t get under your skin is to make sure you’re dressed to beat the cold. As they say, there’s no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothes. So when it comes to packing the best ski brands, we have you covered with some of our current favourites–whether you’re hitting the slopes to ski or snowboard, plan to do a winter hike, or simply just want to après outside in the snow, here’s what to pack.

Best ski brands: Arc’Teryx, for the sporty winter lover

This Canadian brand is known for creating some of the best ski and snowboard outerwear options around. Our current favourite for anyone who is skiing or snowboarding this season are the Sentinel waterproof shell jacket and pants–with colour blocking and an option for a thin insulated jacket, you’ll be warm and dry no matter the conditions on the mountain.

Best ski brands: UNIQLO, for the secret thermal layers

What’s underneath is just as, if not more, important than the outer layers when it comes to keeping warm. Our go-to for thermal layers are UNIQLO’s Heattech line of tops and leggings that will provide that extra barrier you need. Bonus, they’re so thin you can wear them underneath any other clothing, so even when you’re not adventuring, you can stay toasty on city breaks too.

Thermal layers: UNIQLO Heattech Collection, $19-$40

Best ski brands: Montec, for the balance between warmth and performance

Another option for those who take their skiing and snowboarding seriously, Montec is tops when it comes to balancing keeping warm with thin jackets and still being moveable. Our favourite pick is the Fawk W Ski jacket–thin but warm with just enough insulation and a hood with a sizable front neck portion to keep wind at bay.

The perfect combo: Fawk W Ski Jacket, $320

Best ski brands: Cordova, for the stylish skiers

The epitome of a chic mountain look is this Cordova one piece–their signature ski suit. Opt for black or white if you’re after that quiet luxury vibe, and be sure to cinch that belt if you’re looking to show off your figure and your ski skills.
