The ski pro shop has been accumulating information over many years, including not only the latest materials every season, but also feedback from users who have actually purchased their products. In addition, most of the owners and staff are slippers, so they have a wealth of specialized knowledge and experience.
Therefore, he is good at evaluating and reviewing products from multiple perspectives and comparing and examining numerous brands across the board. So, this time, we asked pro shop connoisseurs to recommend clothing that will definitely look great in the mountains this season and make you proud to wear it. I feel good when I'm dressed in high-quality and tasteful clothing, and the comfort in the mountains is completely different. Of course, the slip is also different.
Let's ask what kind of wear the discerning pro shop recommends with confidence as excellent wear that satisfies "connoisseur" users.
* The notation of material (MATERIAL) and weight (WEIGHT) varies depending on the manufacturer (brand).
Satisfying clothing selected by pro shop connoisseurs that will definitely look great in the mountains this season and make you proud to wear them.

Odashima
Recommend: Mountain shop Niseko 343 NORRONA's iconic "LOFOTEN GORE TEX PRO Jacket / Pants" is recommended and is our best-selling model.
It's hard to tell from the photo, but it's newer than this season, using NEW GORE PRO, and the jacket has been raised to 70 denier for increased durability and flexibility. In addition, it is a model that only those who have worn and slipped with updated detailed functions will be convinced. This model is also worn by rider Daisuke Sasaki.

Mr. Hoshi, the store manager
NORRØNA|LOFOTEN GORE-TEX insulated Jacket / Pants[W]
Recommend: FULLMARKS Tomamu store
NORRONA has a strong image of a 3-layer, durable shell, but we recommend this 2-layer cotton-filled shell for those who mainly use the slopes and those who are sensitive to the cold.
Based on the lofoten Gore-Tex Pro Jacket, it's sturdy yet warm, supple and easy to move.
. The brushed hand warm pocket is also nice for cold weather. (W = women's model)

PRICE:

Odashima
State of Elevenate|Motion Hood
Recommend: Mountain shop Niseko343 Launched in 2009, this is a Swedish ski specialty brand that focuses on quality.
There are models that use Gore-tex Pro, but this time we recommend the synthetic down parka "Motion Hood" that can be used in Hokkaido for three seasons. New synthetic insulation that is lightweight and warm.
Because it is synthetic fiber, it dries faster than down material and retains heat even when wet. Worn alone or as a warm mid-layer under a shell jacket in fine weather, it's perfect for skiing. This jacket uses 100% recycled materials for all fabrics, including the batting, and is faithful to the brand's philosophy of eco-friendly manufacturing. I think it's a useful piece that can be worn as an intermediate layer inside a shell, as an outer layer, or as an everyday wear. Especially navy color is recommended.

Takagi
COLOR WEAR | HAWK JKT & PNT
Recommend: OFF-1
The concept of COLOR WEAR is to deliver wear that corresponds to various scenes, such as sophisticated Scandinavian design in an urban style. It features functional and stylish products that comfortably support outdoor activities.
This HAWK JKT & PNT is a top model. Designed to withstand the harshest of natural environments. A jacket can be layered inside to keep you warm in high season, and a base layer is all you need on warmer days or late in the season. It's multi-purpose that can be used for many seasons depending on the layering.
The hem of the pants is reinforced, so it can be used as ski wear. The back part is made of mesh material, so it is light and comfortable to wear. Both the jacket and pants have a high water resistance and moisture permeability of 20K/15K, so the inside of the jacket is always kept dry and comfortable.
It is a notable brand that supports JACOB WESTER, who used to be a freestyler and is now active in the freeride genre. Please take a look at JACOB's video!

MOUNTAIN HARD WEAR| Kor Strata Hooded Jacket
Recommend: Ishii Sports Shinjuku West Exit
For the time being, I put aside the good or bad of things, and try to choose things based on how much I can relate to the brand history and brand philosophy.
If it satisfies that standard, it may be "something that makes you proud to wear it." I think so. However, this deviates from the purpose of this question, so I will introduce recommended items (laughs).
Recently, companies are proposing "synthetic fiber insulation". Interestingly, each company has a unique concept! There are a wide variety of designs, such as some that emphasize heat retention by increasing the amount of cotton, and others that reduce the amount of cotton and focus on ventilation.
Among them, I recommend the MOUNTAIN HARD WEAR Corestrata Hooded Jacket. Among the many synthetic fiber insulation models that emphasize breathability, this is an insulation jacket based on heat retention with a relatively large amount of cotton.
I find the design to be slim fit and provide just the right amount of ventilation for low perspiration hikes, and to keep the stretch under a shell for the endurance conditions of the winter mountains. I think that it will be effective in scenes with little sweating and activities in low atmospheric temperatures. And grow well! This is important. It's worth trying once!

Fujisawa
GOLDWIN|Arris Jacket G00300AP
Recommend: Ishii Sports Sapporo
Recently, I think there are more skiers who want to enjoy the slopes and climb the backcountry and enjoy the powder. In that case, the wear must be prepared separately.
However, this wear | is the "GOLDWIN" brand and has the performance that makes use of the experience cultivated at NORTHFACE in the backcountry scene, so it is an excellent item that can be used for both. I use it myself, but it's comfortable to wear all year round, and the material feels great, so I want to wear it for a long time.
If you want to try on a piece of clothing or are interested in it, why not visit the shop that was recommended to you and actually pick up the item or make an inquiry?
I'm sure he will talk about its charm even more passionately. (Click the shop name to jump to the SKI PRO SHOP page in STEEP)
