PICTURE ORGANIC
CLOTHINGU 77 BIB
French brand Picture has gone
all out on sustainability this
season, with a range of ski gear
made from sugar. Our pick of the
range is the bib that features a
hard shell made from repurposed
sugarcane waste turned bio-
based polyester, alongside
recycled regular polyester. Green
doesn’t mean basic, either –
these pants have a load of useful
design tweaks to keep you comfy.
Around £2 37 ,

JOTTNAR ODIN HARD
SHELL MOUNTAIN
JACKET
Imagine the absolute worst
conditions you could ever end up
in on a mountainside. The Odin
is a technical hardshell built
for weather like that. The build
quality is rugged yet lightweight,
breathable yet completely
waterproof. This titan of jackets
is aimed at ice climbers and
backcountry skiers, and features
a minimalist, stylish design.
We’re big fans.

HESTRA ARMYLEATHER
HELI SKI GLOVES
Suitable for runs accessed via ski
lift as well as helicopter, these
Hestra gloves are a classic for
a reason. High quality leather
and fabric outers work with
G-Loft insulation to keep the
cold and wet out, while the large
bellows cuff stops the snow
from sneaking in another way.
They also come with a little
carabiner you can use to anchor
them securely to your rucksack
or belt loop.

MAMMUT PRO X
REMOVABLE AIRBAG 3. 0
Backpacks are useful for
all kinds of things, but for
freeriders, this one could
literally save your life. The
Mammut Pro x 3.0 comes
with an airbag system that,
should you ever be unlucky
enough to need to deploy
it, is designed to stop you
getting sucked down into
an avalanche. Happily, it’s
removable, for use in less
perilous scenarios.
