Scott Vest Airflow W’s

RRP: £140 Now £112

The SCOTT Airflow Women’s Vest has quickly become one of my favourite pieces of skiing gear. From the very first run, I could tell that comfort had been a top priority in its design. The lightweight build made it effortlessly wearable; I almost forgot I had it on! The ventilated structure was a game-changer too. Even after an intense day on the slopes, it kept me cool and sweat-free—a huge plus for anyone who dislikes that clammy feeling some protective layers can cause.

What really impressed me was the D3O® technology. Knowing that the vest would provide top-tier impact protection without being bulky gave me peace of mind. It’s clever how the material stays flexible for easy movement and then hardens on impact. I felt completely protected without sacrificing my mobility, which is key when navigating tricky terrain. I also appreciated how the ergonomic back plate fit snugly without pressing uncomfortably on my stomach, thanks to the adjustable waist-belt. Adjust it once, and you’re good to go for the rest of the day—simple and effective.

The vest’s design was so thoughtful in every aspect, right down to practical details like the removable back plate for easy washing. It feels like SCOTT didn’t just think about safety but the overall experience for skiers like me. Whether you’re carving groomed runs or tackling more adventurous routes, this vest does its job brilliantly while keeping you comfortable and focused on the fun.

If you’re after protection that doesn’t weigh you down or leave you feeling overheated, the SCOTT Airflow Women’s Vest is a fantastic choice.

Scott Ultimate Dryo Ripstock Men’s Jacket

RRP: £350

The SCOTT Ultimate Dryo Ripstop Men’s Jacket has proven to be an absolute game-changer for my skiing adventures. From icy windstorms to heavy powder days, its DRYOsphere 2L waterproofing keeps me perfectly dry and shielded from the elements. I’ve worn it in everything from damp, slushy conditions to full-on snowstorms, and not a single drop managed to seep through. The durability here is unmatched—thanks to the ripstop material, I don’t have to worry about wear and tear, even if I brush up against sharp equipment or rugged ski surfaces.

One of the standout features for me is how flexible and comfortable this jacket feels. Resort skiing involves constant movement and the relaxed fit paired with lightweight material ensures you can do it all without feeling restricted. The lining feels warm and cozy, while the superb breathability keeps you from overheating during more intense sessions.

The adjustable hood comes in handy on those extra windy days, while the powder skirt is a must-have for deep snow—it keeps everything sealed so no cold or snow gets in. The numerous pockets are a dream for staying organized on the slopes. Whether it’s storing my ski pass in the sleeve pass pocket, keeping my goggles safe in the interior pocket with its detachable cloth, or stashing snacks for some quick energy, it’s all thoughtfully laid out.

Even the small details like the anti-chafe chin guard and interior knit cuffs with thumbholes make a big difference in comfort. This jacket doesn’t just perform—it makes the entire skiing experience more enjoyable.
