1 – Dope Wylie W Women's Snowboard Jacket
Are you tired of the classic "anorak jackets" for skiing? This jacket from the Dope brand, in a hoodie style, is made for you. Ultra-light, this jacket is completely waterproof and even sucks perspiration from the skin. A durable water-repellent coating (PFC-free) allows water to bead and slide off the fabric, making the garment more waterproof. Depending on the weather, you will need to add a second layer in addition to thermal underwear to stay warm. We particularly like the very original "Capital Blot" pattern, for skiing in style.
Price: €149.90 – Available for women and men
2 – Julbo Sphere Connect
Ultra-light, this helmet from the Julbo brand is now 3 in 1. In addition to its photochromic visor, this helmet also has integrated headphones. A Bluetooth system allows gliding enthusiasts to be able to listen to their music on the slopes, but also to answer calls thanks to a very discreet microphone. A little extra: the visor adapts to prescription glasses and its ventilation prevents any fogging. We particularly like the Bluetooth system, perfect for quietly listening to your music all day long.

3 – Dope Loyd W Fleece Sweatshirt
Don't be fooled by its simple look, because this fleece hides its game well. This fleece is made of 100% recycled polyester, from plastic bottles. An eco-friendly gift to fully enjoy nature. This fleece is extremely comfortable to wear thanks to its very soft texture. Its funnel neck allows you to stay warm if you wish, but you can also open the zipper to regulate the temperature. We particularly like its manufacture in recycled fibers, which gives hope for the future in the textile industry.
Price: €59.90 – Available for women and men
4 – Montec Doom W Snowboard Jacket
This ski jacket is simply one of a kind and combines "the best of both worlds": the warmth of an anorak jacket with a pocket ventral, and the practicality of a front zip. There is no longer any need to pass your jacket over your head to take it off: just open the asymmetrical zipper over the entire length. This model is available with two levels of insulation depending on your needs (“padded” or “shell”). All seams are fully taped making them completely waterproof. In addition to the zipper, we particularly like the super-soft microfleece chin guard, to keep you warm and no longer scratch your chin with the rough texture of the raincoat.
Price: €239.90 – Available for women and men
5 – Hydro Flask Coffee Mug 6oz
Winter sport also means landing on the edge of the slopes to appreciate the beauty of the landscape. With this Hydro Flask cup, you can warm up while enjoying your hot coffee. The ThempShield thermal insulation maintains the interior temperature for up to 24 hours for cold liquids and up to 6 hours for hot liquids. We particularly like the opening which is practical and very waterproof despite everything (no risk of liquid leaking into your backpack).

6 – Montec Scope Large Ski Goggle
No more need to have three different goggles depending on the weather. With that of the Montec brand, it is enough to change the lens according to the sunshine. The different colors correspond to screen categories (suitable for cloudy weather, changing weather, or even very sunny days). The dual-lens goggle eliminates fogging while reducing glare in bright sunlight. We particularly like the versatility of this mask and the ecological aspect of being able to change only the lens.
Price: €119.90 – More info here / €39.90 for lenses
7 – Dope Snuggle 2X-UP W Thermal T-shirt
This base layer is ideal for fully enjoying a day of skiing. Its integrated neckband is very soft and keeps you warm on the slopes. The material of this long-sleeved t-shirt is made of very comfortable, soft polyester that absorbs perspiration without feeling damp. We particularly like the integrated microfleece neck warmer without feeling too confined (as can be the case with a turtleneck).
Price: €59.90 – Available for women and men
8 – Dope Stanton Neck warmer
This is a small accessory that could revolutionize a day of skiing. No more crushed nose and difficulty breathing: this neck warmer is completely ergonomic. The fabric is sewn in such a way that there is no pressure on the bridge of the nose. Seven small holes are positioned in front of the mouth to make it easier to breathe fresh air. We particularly like the cut-out neckband so as not to have a sore nose all day.
