Welcome to the world of snowsports apparel and cast your eyes over the amazing new winter collections at Ellis Brigham Mountain Sports. Choosing Big Mountain Performance, Alpine Sophistication or Freeride Fun… the new clothing combines amazing form-flattering styling, all weather fabrics delivering all day comfort and incredible colours from deep midnight darks to eye-popping electro brights.
Big Mountain Performance Where Himalayan weather protection meets youthful, edgy sports styling. No corners are cut in performance with GORE-TEX fabrics dominating this segment. Garments are predominantly of a shell design and combine with lofted or fleece liners to deliver the perfect all weather clothing system for the most active, adventurous skiers. Headlining the show are Norrøna who leverage their total performance GORE-TEX story with a poppy bright colour palate and acid zips and highlights. Arc’teryx continue to set the industry standard in GORE-TEX skiwear technology and you simply cannot buy better. Burton’s AK collection will stop many people in their tracks – coming from the world of snowboarding, but delivering an incredible cross platform GORE-TEX snowsports clothing range that combines great fabric (of course), a very commercial relaxed fit and amazing colour combinations that will have massive appeal.
Freeride Fun Don’t mistake this for throwaway disposable fashion; fabric technology and garment construction are lifted straight out of the mountaineering rulebook and all weather protection is guaranteed. But that’s where the similarities end! Styling is urban-sharp with workwear influences, ironic couture fabric stories and bright, bright, BRIGHT colours. Go here for snowsports style that is ultra wearable away from the slopes. The North Face make a bold statement here with show-stopping colour stories of acid drop and electric magenta for women and mutant green and bitter chocolate for men. Peak Performance make a performance stand using GORE-TEX fabrics in their high-end Freeride Heli collection for men and women (the women’s nail polish pink outfit with ice white zips and trim is a delight!). ACG’s collection combines youthful styling and GORE-TEX fabrics to deliver one of the most wearable (and affordable) performance snowsports ranges out there. And let’s not forget Roxy whose beautiful ironic couture fabrics and street-smart form-flattering styling will delight fashion conscious female skiers of all ages and could well be the hit of the season!
Alpine Sophistication Very grown-up and highly tailored, this is the pinnacle of top quality skiwear. Jacket and pant combinations have striking, form flattering silhouettes using fabulous fabrics that combine all weather protection with amazing drape. Men’s collections from Schoffel, Killy, Spyder, Salomon, Eider and Columbia deliver engineered, masculine styling in total performance fabrics. Classic ski colour combinations dominate with black, red and royal blue flying the flag for ski school chic whilst white with bold pops of orange and lime green add a youthful note. For women, E+O, Degré 7, Spyder, Salomon, Eider and Columbia offer a range of styles and prices to satisfy all aspirations. Colours run from sexy deep midnight black, purple and burgundy to bold saturated cyan and magenta.
