Ski Suits

Fresh snow, a blue sky, and you on the ski slopes. To enjoy it to the fullest, you need one thing: a ski suit that can keep up. A good ski suit keeps you warm, dry, and protected, from the first lift to the last run. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned skier, the right suit makes the difference between shivering in the cold and fully enjoying your day on the slopes. Discover which ski suit suits you here.

Ski suit or separate ski outfit: what suits you?

When it comes to winter sports, you have a choice: will you go for a complete ski suit, or do you combine a separate ski jacket with ski pants? Both options have their advantages, and the right choice depends on how and where you ski.

The one-piece ski suit

A one-piece ski suit is the ultimate protection on the ski slopes and forms an all-in-one outfit that makes putting it on and taking it off easy. The closed, waterproof construction leaves no gap in the event of a fall or a gust of wind. This prevents the jacket and pants from separating, ensuring no cold or snow gets inside. Snow and cold stay out, you stay warm and dry. Put it on, zip it up, and go. This is the most functional choice, especially in low temperatures and harsh weather conditions.

The two-piece ski suit

A two-piece ski suit consists of a ski jacket and ski pants designed as a set. This gives you more flexibility. You can take off the ski jacket when it gets warmer, and the combination is also more practical for a long day of skiing or a visit to the après-ski. Furthermore, it is easy to combine with winter sports clothing you already own. When choosing a two-piece ski suit, ensure that the ski jacket and ski pants fit together well so that cold and snow stay out. For those who like a bit more leeway, this is a logical option.

What should a good ski suit meet?

A ski suit is more than a nice jacket and pants. It is functional equipment that protects you in changeable weather, strong wind, and wet snow. These are the features that really matter:

• Waterproof materials: a ski suit with a high water column, such as 20,000 mm, keeps snow and rain out. Even after a hard fall in wet snow, you will stay dry on the inside.
• Breathability: you sweat during intense skiing. A breathable ski suit wicks away that moisture so you don't feel clammy. Breathability, along with waterproofness and insulation, are the most important technical factors when choosing a ski suit.
• Insulation: good insulation retains heat without the suit feeling bulky or heavy. High-quality materials provide sufficient insulation and protection against the cold.
• Windproof material: at high altitudes, the wind can pick up. Ski suits are often waterproof and windproof, which provides extra protection while skiing.
• Finished sleeves and ankles: well-finished cuffs and ankles close tightly and prevent snow from creeping in during a fall.

In addition to these properties, it is important that your ski outfit, including ski pants, is not only functional but also comfortable and fashionable.

Ski suits for women, men, and children

A ski suit must fit the body wearing it perfectly. That is why the ski suits at Rehall are available in separate lines for women, men, and children. In our collection, you will find ski suits in various sizes, styles, and colors, so you will always find a suit that matches your personal preferences.

Ski suits for women

A ski suit for women is tailored to the female silhouette. The cut gives you the freedom of movement you need on the ski slopes, while the fit remains tight enough to prevent bunching and pulling. High-quality ski suits for women combine style and functionality for an optimal skiing experience. Additionally, these ski suits are available in different colors, so you will always find an outfit that suits your taste. Style and function go hand in hand here. You look great and are at the same time fully protected against snow, wind, and cold.

Ski suits for men

A ski suit for men is built for freedom of movement and robustness. Whether you are exploring blue slopes as a beginner or flying down red and black slopes as an advanced skier, the suit moves with you. The sturdy construction holds up under intensive use and protects you day after day on the slopes.

Ski suits for children

Children grow fast, and a ski suit for children takes that into account. Grow-along systems on sleeves and legs provide an extra season or two of life. Extra reinforced knees ensure that the suit is resistant to enthusiastic climbing, falling, and playing in the snow. Waterproof and warm, so your child can enjoy every snow day without a care.

Choosing the right size ski suit

A ski suit that doesn't fit properly gets in the way. Too tight and you have trouble moving. Too loose and the cold has free rein. A good fit starts with the right size, and the size chart on the product page helps you find the right size.

Keep in mind that a ski suit is cut slightly looser than everyday clothing. That is intentional: you wear one or more layers of clothing under your ski suit, and that space is needed for a comfortable fit. Measure your chest circumference, waist, and hips and compare them with the size chart. Are you in doubt between two sizes? Then choose the larger one, especially if you want to wear thick thermal clothing.

What do you wear under your ski suit?

A ski suit does its job best if you wear the right clothing underneath. The layering principle ensures that you stay warm, dry, and comfortable:

• Base layer: start with a thermal shirt and pants, such as thermal underwear. Thermal clothing as a base layer is recommended to wick away sweat and stay dry.
• Mid-layer: a fleece or thin softshell adds extra warmth without too much weight or bulk.
• Outer layer: your ski suit as a final protective layer against snow, wind, and cold.

How to keep your ski suit in top condition

Wash it on a low cycle with a mild detergent specially designed for functional clothing. Do not use fabric softener. After washing, preferably dry your ski suit in the dryer on a low setting to reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellency) coating. You can easily restore it after a few seasons with a re-impregnation spray.

Frequently asked questions about ski suits

What is the difference between a one-piece and a two-piece ski suit?

A one-piece ski suit offers maximum protection because there is no gap between the jacket and pants. A two-piece suit offers more flexibility; you can take off the jacket more easily during lunch or après-ski.

Is a ski suit also suitable for snowboarding?

Yes, most ski suits are excellent for snowboarding. When snowboarding, pay extra attention to reinforced knees and freedom of movement.

How do I maintain my ski suit?

Wash with technical detergent at 30 degrees, avoid fabric softener, and reactivate the water-repellent layer in the dryer or with an impregnation spray.
