Recommendation: TOYRU is a hard shell for backcountry skiers and snowboarders. The material is Patagonia's proprietary material, which is flexible, easy to move in, and has reliable waterproof and breathable properties. The simple, functional design eliminates stress when operating in the backcountry in harsh conditions. Of course, it is made with recycled materials and is environmentally friendly. This
is my favorite gear as a backcountry guide in Niseko.

Mountain shop Niseko 343 is a sponsor of the FWT (Freeride World Tour), and many of their models feature designs, colors, and functionality that reflect the opinions of athletes and riders. They also use recycled materials that are environmentally friendly, and are Bluesign certified, so you can wear them with peace of mind. The classic Alpine series has been gradually updated, and the Gore-Tex C-Kint is noticeably more comfortable than other products. It's comfortable and stress-free even when skiing.

Recommendation: COMPASS HOUSE . Despite its low price, it is breathable, waterproof, and highly functional. The fabric is ripstop-processed, with threads woven in a grid pattern, making it resistant to abrasion and tearing, and highly durable. The loose silhouette also makes it suitable for use in the park. Depending on the size, this garment can meet a variety of needs, from adult style to park style. At first glance, it doesn't look like mountain wear, which is a good point that makes it stylish and typical of ARMADA.

The jacket comes in four colors, the bib in three colors, and sizes range up to 2XL. Another plus is that the price is reasonable, making it a recommended choice.

Recommendation:
SKI SHOP VAIL FW. This is a piece made with backcountry skiing in mind. It has a smart silhouette when worn and a slightly more mature feel. Both the jacket and bib pants feature gusseted pockets.
The jacket is shorter than most overseas brands, making it very easy to move around in. The bib pants also have a pocket large enough to store stickers, and laser-cut ventilation. This is a highly recommended item for those looking for something no one else is wearing.
