How To Layer A Shell
Shell jackets are designed to be your outermost protective layer, offering weather protection without built-in insulation.
Warmth Without Bulk
A technical setup works best in a three- or four-layer system: moisture-wicking thermal → insulating midlayer (fleece, merino, or Primaloft) → lightweight down or synthetic puffer (optional) → waterproof shell. Add performance accessories — high-grip gloves, low-profile helmets, lens-specific goggles, and temperature-regulating socks. The goal: maximum warmth, minimal bulk, and total control, no matter the terrain.
Engineered for Performance
Technical skiing demands gear built for the elements. Opt for high-breathability shells, waterproof membranes (20K–30K+), sealed seams, and fabrics designed to move with you. Prioritise articulated sleeves, snow skirts, reinforced hems, and ventilation zips — the features that keep you dry, protected, and agile when conditions shift fast. Pair with stretch pants or insulated softshells for comfort and range of motion.
