Best Lightweight Shell Ski Jackets 2019 2020 Ski Season

Here are the editor’s picks for the best lightweight shell ski jackets 2019 2020 Ski Season:

Shell jackets are a great way to dress for changeable weather. They keep you warm and dry on the outside and allow you to wear multiple layers underneath depending on the weather. Also, if you are “uphilling” or hiking Highlands Bowl in Aspen for example, then you will be able to regulate your body temperature easily under a shell jacket. A down puffy jacket will often be too warm and when you are working hard, you will sweat and then get cold when you get on the chairlift.

The Amundsen Peak Anorak is our first anorak, which we have been perfecting over several years. It was first made for our Antarctic Expedition in 2011, and received it’s name as it protected us during the first ascent of Amundsen Peak.It’s ideal for ski touring and expeditions small and big. The combination of stretch, waterproof and breathing capabilities ensures a combo of full protection combined with the comfort you need.

This anorak is a part of “The 3-Part Formula” which is a new and different concept for dressing up for the peak ride, skiing or mountain trip. 3-Part is an integrated system of anoraks / jackets, knickerbockers and gaiters. The concept came as a direct result of the entrepreneurs own expedition to Antarctica in 2011, where the clothes and the concept were tested in their proper element. The 3-Part Formula adapts to all weather conditions and provides extreme flexibility. This is simply an evolution of traditional clothes.
