Everything you need to know when buying your ski clothes
Does my ski clothing need to be waterproof? How do I know if it is warm enough? How should a ski jacket fit? There are many questions that come to mind when it's time to buy new ski clothes, so with this guide we want to make your purchase easier. Your ski clothes will hopefully be with you on the slopes for years to come and therefore it is extra important that you find your perfect ski clothes!
trousers
Our ski pants have a fantastic material that can handle both water, cold and wind and will keep you comfortable regardless of the weather. Our pants are lined in dexfilsoft padding of 80g which allows you to move easily and smoothly on the slopes while keeping the heat well.
Ski jacket
Our ski jackets are made of a fantastic material that can withstand water, cold and wind, and they will keep you warm on the slopes. Our jackets are equipped with dexfilsoft padding of 100g which makes them light and easy to move with on the slopes.
Watertightness
Our ski clothes are waterproof with 5,000 to 10,000 water columns and all zippers are waterproof. If you're going out when it's a bit warmer and the snow is wet, it's nice to have waterproof ski clothing to keep you dry and warm all day.
Equipment
Equipment is a big part of the decision to find the perfect ski clothing. That's why we've equipped our skiwear with what we believe are the most important and smartest features to make it as practical as possible.
The pockets on our ski jackets are large to accommodate both the hat and gloves, on the sleeve there is a pocket for the ski pass. On the inside of the jacket there is an elastic snow lock and inner pockets with space for gloves/goggles. Since our jackets are not tight at the bottom, a snow lock is very good because by snapping the snow lock you prevent snow from entering the jacket and thus you stay dry and happy! Our ski pants have two waist pockets with storage space, an adjustable waist and removable braces that can be adjusted to the desired length.
Fully taped seams
All our ski clothing has fully taped seams, this means that the seams are completely waterproof. In seams that are not taped, there is a risk of water passing through and thus the garment cannot be classified as waterproof.
fit
Fit is always very individual, based on whether you want a more or less slim fit. Our ski clothes are true to size and therefore we recommend that you choose your usual size. Our ski jacket Noret has a more slim fit than our ski jacket Holme which can be good to consider when making your decision. Since you get more space and room for a mid layer if you choose a ski jacket that is a little straighter in the model, as opposed to one that is more slim.
Washing advice
To take the best care of your ski clothes, we recommend washing them as little as possible. We therefore recommend that you hang your ski clothes out to air for a refresh and spot treat them with a wet cloth if they have any visible stains.
Your choice
We at Norrsken always believe that the most important thing to keep in mind when buying your clothes is to choose a garment that you yourself think is comfortable and stylish. Since we want you to be able to love and use the garment for years to come and thus contribute to a more sustainable consumption, it is therefore important that you choose the clothes you like!
