Defiant Shell Jacket & Bib | 2026

Kühl has been doing its own thing since day one, and the new Defiant jacket and bib prove why that independence matters. Built with the brand’s proprietary Kühl-Flex membrane, the kit delivers legit waterproofing, breathability, and stretch—making it just as at home at the resort as sneaking out for sidecountry laps.

The jacket features a ski-specific cut that leaves room for layering without feeling bulky, and the sculpted hood seals out weather while keeping your peripheral vision wide open. You’ll find all the essentials—two chest and hand pockets, side vents, a removable powder skirt, built-in goggle wipe, and a dedicated pass pocket—while the bib packs in more than enough storage of its own. An articulated fit moves with you from first chair to summit pushes, while scuff guards fend off ski edges and crampons. Bonus: the bib comes in two inseam lengths, so you can dial in that just-right fit.
