About Ski wear
Ski fashion is divided into three styles:
traditional style, technical style and freestyle.
1. Traditional style
When one used to imagine skiing, he would automatically conjure
up images of a matching ski suit with one uniform color and
at most, a pattern in another color. Not only that the color
is matched, but also each of the materials must be matched,
to look like a one-piece suit.
2. Technical style
In the days of "less is more", ski wear companies
aim of designing ski suits that look as thin as possible (without
compromising warmth), to obtain breathability.
These more technical looking ski outfits using the traditional
suits as a base, but more detailed to ensure the best adaptability
for extreme skier. With fabrics such as gore-tex, the extreme
skier is as warm as possible, without the thickness and bulkiness
from a traditional ski suit.
3. Freestyle
The freestyle ski suit reflects snowboarding's influence on
skiing, with more colors, designs and patterns. It usually
consists of a solid color base with a trendy looking ski jacket.
It can have intricate details such as reflective stripes or
pipings.
The famous ski wear manufacturers are Columbia, Helly Hansen,
Descente, and Phoenix.
