Ski season is here! If it’s your first time hitting the slopes or you’re a snow pro, having the right kit is an important part of planning your trip. Our new snow collection for 2022 has something for every budget and style, here’s a few of our top picks.
A ski jacket not only keeps you warm but is a chance to show off your personal style, to learn more about features of snow jackets you can read our buying guide here. A favourite season after season, the Mountain Warehouse Dusk and Shadow Mens Jackets have been updated with new patterns and colours.
As has the Womens Moon and Dawn Ski Jackets. All four jackets are perfect for entry level skiers dipping their toe into the sport. They’re thermal tested to -30 °C with a snowskirt to prevent snow getting in and are water-resistant.
For the fashionista on the piste, coming soon we have the Swiss Ski Jacket. Not only is it water-resistant, breathable and includes RECCO detectors but its silhouette is flattering and stylish. For men, the Vulcan III Ski Jacket is perfect for someone looking for something different, its contemporary padded design makes it ideal for wearing on your trip and for cold winters at home.
For kidswear we usually think the brighter, the better! That’s why we’re loving the Vortex Ski Jacket. All snow kidswear this season is PFC free, which means the fabric isn’t treated with harmful chemicals.
If you really want to stand out in the crowd, you’ll love the Animal Snow Range. New jackets this season include the Womens Snowstorm and Snowy Mens. All of them are unapologetically bright, bold and made with PrimaLoft® Gold Insulation Luxe™. PrimaLoft® Gold is a synthetic alternative to down and is made of 100% recycled materials.
Animal kidswear follows the same theme, with bright patterns on the Whistler, Roam, Freestyle and Frosty Jackets.
To ensure a comfortable snow season, ski pants are an essential. For more advice on picking the best pants for you, read our ski pants guide. New for Mountain Warehouse this season are the Mens Titan Snowboard Pants temperature tested to -20°, waterproof and breathable. In womenswear you’ll find the Isola Extreme Ski Pants, which are waterproof, breathable and come equipped with RECCO reflectors.
The Kids Falcon Snow Pants are waterproof with taped seams and reinforced knees to last even longer.
Once you’ve found your favourite Animal ski jacket, getting the matching pants is a no-brainer! The Womens and Mens Glaze Snow Pants match back to their jackets effortlessly and are made with recycled materials.
As do the kids styles, such as the Nordic Recycled Pants and Alpine.
Base layers keep you warm while wicking away moisture as you’ll probably build up a bit of a sweat going up and down the mountains. You can read more about picking the best base layer for you by reading our guide here.
Our picks for base layers this season are the Animal Womens Merino Top and Leggings and Mens Merino Top and Leggings. As well as the kids Base Layer Top and Leggings.
There’s nothing worse than cold feet, keep your toes warm with snow boots like the Mens Snowdon Extreme Boots that have been tested to -20 °C. For women, the Innsbruck Waterproof Snow Boots are thermal tested to -30 °C and use IsoDry technology to stop the moisture from snow getting in while allowing perspiration out. For kids, the Caribou Boots are a great choice, not only are the snow proof with a high traction sole, they also fasten with straps, making them easy to take on and off.
It is a good idea to wear a ski helmet for your safety in case of a collision, new for this season are the Mountain Warehouse Pinnacle Ski Helmets and the Ascend Kids Helmet.
Animal neck gaiters are a great way to keep warm on the slopes. You’ll find a pattern to match any style!
The final way to ensure you stay toasty on the snow is wrapping up with gloves, a beanie and snood (or a gaiter like above). Luckily, we offer all three in a matching package. Shop new colours and patterns below.
Every year we offer a ski set as a cost-effective way to dress for your trip, the package includes a jacket and pants and is available for men, women and kids!
