The Best Ski Jackets and Pants for 2026
Oct 1, 2025
The Steibis’ 30k/30k waterproof and breathability rating was a feature that caught our attention right off the bat. Both the jacket and pant are made for nature’s gnarliest temper, with three-layer shell construction that makes them nearly impenetrable to wind, sleet and snow.Â
In the past couple of years, we’ve seen a resurgence of both style and function from Obermeyer, thanks in part to collaborative efforts with athletes like Colter Hinchliffe. Thoughtful conversations between the brand and athletes have led to updated pocket placements, modern color palettes and a more relaxed, freeride fit. We found that this jacket fits slightly larger than standard, while the pants are truer to size, with a touch of extra room for comfort and layeringÂ
The Aspen-based brand’s proprietary Blue Thread yarn is sewn throughout this kit. This nylon thread is made of recycled ocean waste, primarily fishing industry materials such as netting and line. This small change, years in the making, has led to a reported 49-percent reduction in carbon footprint when compared to traditional nylon products so you can feel good about what you’re wearing.Â
