The Best Ski Jackets and Pants for 2026
Oct 1, 2025
The Objective Pro jacket and bib are the first women’s pieces from Stio to get the Gore-Tex Pro build. This wind and waterproof, three-layer construction not only upholds the new PFAS-free standard, but also goes through extra durability testing for the most demanding winter users. Pocket space is of no concern, with multiple storage options on both the jacket and bib for your snacks, phone and avalanche transceiver—if you prefer carrying it in a pocket versus a harness.
When the wind picks up, a helmet-compatible, brimmed hood cinches down tight, along with the jacket’s adjustable hem and cuffs. But the Stio design team knows how quickly temps can change at high altitudes and, therefore, equipped the kit with two-way underarm jacket and outer-thigh bib vents so skiers can quickly dump heat when the sun prevails. Adjustable suspenders further customize the bib and a stretch-woven panel above the waist prioritizes all-day comfort and full range of motion. Finally, an articulated fit in the sleeves and knees is a nod to the kit’s purpose, which is simply to move further and deeper into the mountains.
