Rab｜Khroma Diffuse GTX Jacket & Pants

The stress-free cutting that corresponds to the unique large movement of the sliding hand is wonderful.

◆ Official HP / https://www.landr.life/rabtop?page=3

It is an outdoor brand that is familiar with down jackets and sleeping bags, but in fact it also makes ski wear.

The Khroma Diffuse GTX setup is a robust ski and mountaineering shell made from 3-layer GORE-TEX and 100% recycled materials. Not only the material and sewing, but also the completely stress-free cutting that corresponds to the unique big movements of sliding hands that are different from mountain walking and climbing. Because it is a British brand, compared to the Northern European and North American brands, the size is more suitable for Japanese people, and the length is slightly longer and has a little more room for protection in deep snow, making it a silhouette that looks great on the backcountry ski slopes. Of course, while keeping the basics such as ventilation and powder skirt, you can feel the thoughtful details everywhere, such as matching the knees with highly durable patches. Considering the construction, the price is also reasonable!

NORRØNA｜LOFOTEN GORE-TEX PRO M's JACKET & PANTS

Impeccable! Wear that can be used all over the snowy mountains

◆ Official HP / https://www.full-marks.com/norrona/

It's a standard item that you can say "NORRØNA is this!", but JKT & PANTS is impeccable.

Both the jacket and pants use "GORE-TEX PRO", but the jacket uses "MOST BREATHABLE" that can quickly expel the stuffiness inside, and the pants are made of trees, rocks, and skis compared to the jacket. Because it often rubs against the surface, we use GORE-TEX PRO, which emphasizes strength called "MOST RUGGED". The sleeves of the jacket are also carefully cut.
Many people think it's a little long when trying it on, but it's actually just the right length when wearing gloves. Of course, the hem of the pants has an edge guard, but it doesn't just increase the strength of the outer fabric, which is common, but the lining fabric is also stronger, so it has an edge guard that is extremely difficult to cut. I think it's a wear that you can use hard in the snowy mountains in general. It's a very popular wear in our store! There are 6 colors in total, and the best recommendation is this season's new color, Classic Green / Everglade.

Strafe｜NOMADO Bib

Bib pants with climate control and excellent comfort and mobility

◆ Official HP / https://item.rakuten.co.jp/bdonlinestore/c/0000001252/

The shell of event is soft and very easy to move.

The stretch function is also excellent. Especially from the waist to the upper part, although it is BIB pants, it has a lot of elasticity, and it feels good to wick away sweat when hiking. The soft material is great for backcountry hikes, as it allows for unrestricted sliding movement. Also, there is a pocket in a convenient place, which I personally like. There is also a small pocket inside the pocket, where you can put a mobile phone, a beacon, and other small items, and it is well thought out. You don't notice it at first glance, but it's good that you're particular about such details. It is a wear that can demonstrate performance not only on the slopes, but also in the backcountry and hard conditions.

THE NORTH FACE｜RTG Hybrid GORE-TEX Jacket & Bib

The texture and feeling of use make it the most recommended piece of clothing that you have ever worn.

RTG GORE-TEX clothing that uses the GOER-TEX Pro shell with a 3-layer structure is light and strong, and has excellent waterproof performance, but also has excellent moisture permeability. This is the model I usually use, but I can use it comfortably in the backcountry. As it is categorized in the summit series, the highest peak of the NORTH FACE, the texture and feel of use made this item more recommended than any other wear I have worn so far.

Very light and comfortable

While the design is classic, the silhouette is not too big and the length is a little longer. Gore-Tex Packlight is used, making it very light and easy to move your arms. The fabric is a little thin, so if you devise layering in the midwinter, you can wear it comfortably for a long season.

NORRØNA｜tamok Gore-Tex Pro Bib

There are no other bib pants with such a beautiful silhouette!

◆ Official HP / https://www.full-marks.com/norrona/

What a beautiful silhouette! There is no other bib pants that are so beautiful.

From this season, the membrane has been changed to Gore-Tex Performance Shell, the fabric has become more flexible, the silhouette has been changed to a slightly looser fit, and the functionality has been updated for lightness and ease of movement. Each pocket is not too big and easy to use. The design is also very nice, but when I wear it, the chest and stomach are loose and deep, so snow doesn't get in, and it's warm, so that's what I like.

Teton Bros. ｜ Tsurugi Jacket & TB Pant

The model that made Teton Bros. known to the world is an exquisite item that tickles the user's heart

◆ Official HP / https://www.teton-bros.com/

The charm of Teton Bros.'s products is undoubtedly "good quality". And the relentless pursuit of products (repeated updates) and the high design that can withstand town use. Also, I want all skiers to experience the size that fits the Japanese body shape! By the way, Tsurugi, who made Teton Bros. known to the world, is an anniversary year, so the manufacturer seems to be thinking about various things... I think that Japan is proud to have such a domestic brand that is functional, looks good, and tickles the user's heart.

ARMADA | Utility 2L INS Jacket

Phil Casabon's signature model with military design

ARMADA | Team Issue 2L Pants

The extra-thick pants that all free skiers covet are back!

◆ Official HP / https://armadaskis.jp/

In the 23-24 season ARMADA, where the word “return to origin” is appropriate, the silhouette of the “Team Issue 2L Pant” is especially worthy of attention.

The extra-thick pants that all free skiers covet are back! When ARMADA wears came to Japan, the silhouettes of both jackets and pants were large and thick. However, the user's desire was vain, and the "big and thick" silhouette was weeded out in the market, and users who were worried about the thickness dealt with the drastic remedy of size up with belt or suspenders. . It will be resolved in ARMADA in the 23-24 season! So I want you to actually try this and check the silhouette and length!

Haglöfs｜Vassi GTX Jacket Men & Vassi GTX Pant Men

A very cool silhouette that will look stylish on anyone

◆ Official HP / https://haglofs.jp/

Haglöfs IS BACK!! The Haglöfs are finally back!
It's a wear that will be fashionable no matter who wears it. Since it uses GORE-TEX, you can use it with confidence even in the backcountry! It was often said that GORE-TEX wear has few pockets, but this jacket has a chest pocket and hand warmer pockets with gussets, making it ideal for those who do not go backcountry often. Also recommended! It's hard to tell from the catalog and photos, but when you actually try it on, it's a really cool silhouette! This time, I recommend Tarn Blue and Olive, but the other colors are also pretty good, so please check them out at the store!

Haglöfs | Vassi GTX Pro Jacket & Vassi GTX Pro Bib

The first place that all necessary elements in BC are realized at a high level

◆ Official HP / https://haglofs.jp/

Moderately loose silhouette, surface fabric is 40 denier, lightweight and easy to move. Excellent pocket positions and angles, Scandinavian coloring, large hand pockets, snow skirts, and all the elements necessary for BC are realized at a high level.

---

Using the latest generation 40D GORE-TEX Pro, it is the strongest wear in the backcountry.

In general, ski wear developed by outdoor brands tends to have a simple structure, such as minimizing the number of pockets and using as few stitches as possible. However, this jacket has different types of pockets on the left and right on the chest, large pockets with gussets on the bottom that are easy to use on both sides, mesh pockets on both sides of the inside, and a pass pocket on one sleeve. is attached. The bib pants have a large pocket for an avalanche walkie-talkie on the chest and gusseted pockets on the left and right thighs.

What I personally like the most is the perfect cutting that perfectly supports the large movements of skiing and snowboarding, and the sophisticated silhouette that is not typical of outdoor brands. This is especially noticeable when skiing without a backpack. The GTX Pro may feel a little cold if you're not used to it, probably because of its high performance and good clarity, but you can rest assured by pairing it with bib pants. The ventilation that does not interfere with the backpack is also easy to use, and of course it comes with a powder skirt.
