The Best Ski Jackets and Pants for 2026
Oct 1, 2025
If you’re the type of girl who splits her time evenly between the resort and backcountry, and wants one kit that does it all, Rab’s Khroma Converge combo is certainly worth a look. Sporting the new Gore-Tex ePe, the three-layer shell kit maintains beneficial breathability for high-output ascents and descents, along with highly effective waterproofing. The Converge is a regular fit, so if you’re looking to layer a puffy underneath or just want that modern freeride look, sizing up is worth consideration.Â
A plethora of pockets on the jacket and pants offer plenty of storage and a new beacon loop in the thigh pocket gives your most important piece of gear a dedicated home. The jacket’s pit vents work well but the pant vents certainly take the spotlight. Generous external thigh zips open up from the hip flexor down to the top of the knee and an additional zipper opens from the ankle to the knee cap—creating a ton of airflow as well as the ability to take the pants on and off without removing your ski boots. Whether it’s mid-winter at your home resort or you’re bagging peaks in the warm spring sun, the Khroma Converge kit is equipped to handle it all with efficiency and ease.
