Ski Outerwear

At aussieskier, our selection of ski outerwear showcases offerings from top brands, ensuring you’ll find the perfect gear for your next alpine adventure.

Each piece in our collection has been chosen for its quality, durability, and ability to perform in demanding mountain conditions.

Layering is essential when selecting ski outerwear, especially for tackling variable mountain conditions. A complete layering system includes a moisture-wicking base layer to pull sweat away from the skin, an insulating mid-layer for warmth, and a protective outer layer such as a shell or insulated jacket. The outerwear plays a critical role, acting as a shield against wind, snow, and moisture while maintaining breathability for comfort during active pursuits.

Choosing the right ski outerwear depends on your destination, skiing style, and the conditions you’re likely to encounter. In colder climates like Japan, North America, or Europe, insulated outerwear provides an excellent solution for warmth and simplicity. These pieces are designed to trap heat effectively, but it’s crucial to balance this insulation with moisture management. Overheating during high activity can lead to sweat buildup, so pairing insulated outerwear with a moisture-wicking base layer is essential to stay dry and maintain consistent warmth throughout your day. Proper moisture control ensures you remain comfortable when skiing and prevents chilling when you pause to rest.

When skiing in more variable conditions, or looking for superior breathability and overall improved performance, a shell jacket paired with appropriate layers provides the versatility needed to handle everything from sunny groomers, endless powder, and high-exertion backcountry adventures. If you plan on skiing in warmer spring conditions or prefer a more active style of skiing, a shell jacket is also ideal for its breathability and flexibility. A shell jacket will always provide the maximum amount of versatility, allowing you to choose the right amount of warmth and insulation depending on the conditions.
