HELLYHANSEN ALPHA
INFINITY JACKET
For its 2021 resort collection,
Helly Hansen has employed
its tech to deliver skiwear
that’s more waterproof,
more breathable and more
environmentally responsible.
The HH Alpha Infinity jacket
has a ‘H2Flow’ system to ensure
you’re adequately ventilated,
and a Life Pocket+ that’ll keep
your phone three times as warm
as a regular pocket, to prevent
battery drainage.

ARC’TERYX PROCLINE
STRETCH PANTS
Much fuss is made about the
downhill part of skiing, but the
Arc’teryx Procline Pants are
built to take you uphill with
equal enthusiasm. Part of the
brand’s new collection, these
stretchy, breathable ski trousers
have zippable side vents to cool
you down on punishing ascents,
a specially designed cuff for easy
buckle management, and ultra-
tough Keprotec insteps to guard
against edge abrasion.

KORAYUSHU LS CREW
MID LAYER
Move over Merino, there’s a new
wool in town. Kora specialises
in incorporating yak wool into
performance apparel, and its
Yusu crew will keep you ultra-
cosy on the slopes. It’s made with
the brand’s own Hima-Layer
Yardang fabric, which delivers
not just a top-tier pun but also
excellent comfort. It comes into
its own when the mercury really
drops, but it’s also impressively
breathable on milder days.

OAKLEY FLIGHTPATH
SNOW GOGGLES
Developed in collaboration
with world champion skier
Aleksander Kilde, Oakley’s
Flight Path snow goggles
feature Prizm lens technology
to enhance contrast in hazy
weather conditions. The
instantly recognisable Oakley
silhouette has been adapted to
maximise upper field of view, so
you can get your head down and
ski fast. Watch out for these at
the 2022 Winter Olympics.
