STORY OF A SKI

This is the Highland Summit Ski Jacket and Bib Pants from Columbia. I really like it,
actually. It's a very kind of camo, cool look. The jacket is really, really warm and comfortable.
It is waterproof. It's got a waterproof, breathable, omni-tech finish, light insulation, and omni-heat
infinity lining. It's kind of like a reflective material, and I've actually only got a base
layer on. I'm standing here in the mountains right now with just the base layer and the
bib pants and the jacket, and I feel really toasty and warm, really warm. So I think if
you're skiing or snowboarding maybe in cold conditions, then the Highland Summit Jacket
and Bib Pants would be an ideal suit. Absolutely brilliant. Loads of tech features in this
as well. There's an adjustable hood that fits over the helmet. There's a chin guard
here as well, just so you can keep your chin warm when it's really cold. You've got adjustable
hems, so you can pull the jacket in there so it's not sort of flapping around. And it's
also got a nice tail on the back, just to keep your bum warm on those chair lifts. And
the bib comes up a long way. So if you're skiing powder, you know, and you fall over,
which sometimes you do in the powder, it's going to keep you very, very dry with the
bib pant and also the powder skirt inside the jacket. So many features on this jacket.
You've got a lift pass pocket here on the left arm where you want it, these zipper chest
pockets here, dedicated pockets for gloves and goggles as well. Adjustable cuffs around
the wrist, you can really get them tight against the gloves, you know, keep that cold air and
wind. That's where, here is where you get cold, right? Because the blood flows through
your wrist and if you don't protect your wrist, that's why you get cold arms and body. So
really important to get that cuff right over there. You've got protection down here, you
know, where the ski pants always rubbing against boots and things like that. And it's a really
durable fabric down there, so it protects the bib pants from running out. A little bit
of harder fabric on the knees as well. You know, sometimes you have to get down and sort
those bindings out and all that kind of stuff. So very durable, really great value for money
too. You know, waterproof, breathable, insulated ski jacket and pants. So this is your go-to
ski jacket, whatever the conditions.
