March 2, 2021 by braveskimom

Today, we’re excited to celebrate the approach of spring with a ski fashion refresh, featuring spring’s best ski clothes from WinterWomen.com and a Spyder ski jacket giveaway.

Best Ski Sweater: Nils Skier 3 Sweater

Tell the world you’re a skier — on the slopes and off — with this fun sweater from Nils.

The Nils Skier 3 Sweater is a premium double knit ¼ zip sweater that is made of 85% Spun Rayon and 15% nylon. It’s an insulating layering piece that is stylish enough to wear for après ski or as an everyday cozy sweater. Available in Dove Heather, White or Black.

Best Ski Layer: Rossignol Women’s Hiver Full Zip

Hiver means winter in French, and this graphic full zip fleece mid layer perfectly captures modern Alpine style. Note the accent stripe on the right shoulder. C’est parfait!

The Rossignol Women’s Hiver Full Zip is perfect in other ways, too. Crafted of an ultra-soft fleece fabric with significant stretch, this is a layer that will keep you comfy and warm all day long. The tailored fit is flattering, too.

Best Ski Vest: Patagonia Women’s Down Sweater Vest

Every closet and/or ski bag needs a down vest, a wintertime essential for warmth and style.

Among the best ski vests we’ve found is the Patagonia Women’s Down Sweater Vest. If you don’t already own a vest, this one does it all and is the only one you need.

We love this vest because it is timeless and versatile. Wear it under a shell jacket on the mountain, or over a long sleeve shirt around town. The contoured fit makes is both comfortable and flattering. This vest has 800-fill goose down that is super lightweight and packable into its own internal pocket. Available in Navy and Light Balsamic.

Best Ski Mittens: Hestra Patrol Gauntlet 5 Finger Mitt

Without a doubt, our go-to mittens and gloves — for kids, women, and men — come from Hestra.

Hestra mittens are warm and functional. They are among the best ski clothes for women

The Hestra Patrol Gauntlet Mittens are made of premium goat leather and dobby polyester mélange fabric. They are windproof, water-resistant, and breathable. They feel luxurious with generous insulation that snuggles your fingers and thumbs. Combining function and warmth, Hestra makes a smart product.

Best Beanie: Pistil Piper Slouchy Beanie

When you live and play in a cold climate, is it possible to have too many beanies?

A green ribbed knit beanie with removable pompon from Pistil.

The ribbed knit Pistil Piper Slouchy Beanie is made of an acrylic, polyester, and a spandex blend stretch material. It’s also like getting two beanies in one, because the faux fur pom is removable.

Best Ski Jacket: The Spyder Women’s Balance Gore-Tex Jacket

And here we have the main attraction — today’s giveaway — the Spyder Women’s Balance Gore-Tex Jacket.

Spyder's Balance Gore-Tex ski jacket for women is one of our choices for best ski clothes for spring
Spyder Women’s Balance Gore-Tex Jacket in Lagoon from WinterWomen.com

If you’re looking for a premium ski jacket from a tried-and-true ski brand, then the Spyder Women’s Balance Gore-Tex jacket is a great choice.

Guaranteed waterproof by Gore-Tex®, it has 80 grams of PrimaLoft® Silver ECO Insulation to keep you warm without the bulk. The technical fabric provides essential stretch and freedom of movement.

Other features include a removable powder skirt, spacer mesh padding at the shoulders, internal mesh goggle pocket with a chamois lens wipe, and interior stretch cuffs with thumb holes.

Available in Black or Lagoon, both with contrasting panels on the arms and hood, one lucky winner will receive their choice of color and size (Women’s 2 – 12), based on availability.

This giveaway provides shipping to US addresses only.
