Our Favourite 6 Ski Jackets this Season
At Snowfinders, we love everything about skiing from the adrenaline buzz of soaring down the slopes, the party atmosphere of après-ski, spending time with our family and friends who are also fans of the sport, as well as learning new tricks, chilling with a bottle of wine in the evening and, of course, wrapping up warm while we have so much fun!
This week, Snowfinders have picked out 3 favourite jackets for both men and women this season.
Our Favourite 3 Men’s Ski Jackets
1. Men’s Norrøna Lofoten Gore-Tex Pro Jacket (£499.00)
