How to Choose the Perfect Ski Suit: What to Look for in Performance and Style

When it comes to hitting the slopes in style, having the perfect ski suit is essential — not just for looking good but also for staying warm, dry, and comfortable throughout your adventures. At Verta Mountain Club, we believe that skiwear should offer the perfect blend of high-performance functionality and runway-worthy fashion. Whether you’re carving down double blacks or sipping cocktails at après-ski, the right ski suit can make all the difference.

Verta Mountain Club offers two signature styles — Flared Ski Suits and Skinny Ski Suits — both designed to elevate your experience on and off the slopes. But with so many features to consider, how do you choose the right one?

Here’s a detailed guide to what to look for in a ski suit to ensure you stay warm, comfortable, and chic all season long.

1. Waterproof and Breathability: Stay Dry and Comfortable

The foundation of any great ski suit is its ability to protect you from the elements. Skiing and snowboarding often mean dealing with changing weather conditions, so your suit should be able to handle it all — from light powder to heavy snowfall.

Waterproof Rating: Look for a suit with a waterproof rating between 10,000mm to 20,000mm to keep you dry even in wet conditions. Verta Mountain Club’s ski suits are designed with advanced waterproof technology to ensure you stay dry without compromising style. Breathability: Keeping moisture out is important, but allowing sweat to escape is equally critical. Look for a breathability rating between 10,000g to 15,000g to prevent overheating and keep you comfortable during intense runs.

Verta Tip: Both Verta’s Flared and Skinny Ski Suits feature high waterproof and breathability ratings, ensuring that you stay dry without feeling stuffy.

2. Fleece-Lined Warmth Without Bulk

Staying warm on the slopes doesn’t mean piling on bulky layers. Verta Mountain Club ski suits are fleece-lined to provide maximum warmth without compromising your mobility or style.

Thermal Comfort: The fleece lining offers insulation that traps heat while wicking away moisture, keeping you warm and dry even in freezing conditions. Snatched Waist with Zipper: Verta’s signature design includes a snatched waist that flatters your figure while keeping heat locked in — ensuring that you stay warm while looking effortlessly chic.

Verta Tip: The fleece lining in Verta’s ski suits provides just the right amount of warmth, making it easy to layer with base layers for extra insulation on colder days.

3. Fit and Flexibility: Choose Between Flared and Skinny Styles

Your choice of ski suit should not only keep you warm and dry but also complement your personal style. Verta Mountain Club offers two signature styles to suit your preference:

Flared Ski Suits: For a bold, retro-inspired look, Verta’s Flared Ski Suits offer a flattering, leg-lengthening silhouette that flows effortlessly from the slopes to après-ski. The flared design not only adds style but also provides extra mobility and comfort during your runs. Skinny Ski Suits: If you prefer a sleek and modern look, the Skinny Ski Suits provide a form-fitting silhouette that hugs your curves while still allowing room for movement. Ideal for those who want a more tailored, athletic fit.

Verta Tip: Whether you choose flared or skinny, Verta’s ski suits feature a 4-way stretch that moves with your body, allowing you to ski or snowboard with ease.

4. Adjustable Straps for a Customized Fit

When it comes to comfort on the slopes, having a ski suit that fits like a glove makes all the difference. Verta’s ski suits feature adjustable straps that allow you to customize the fit and ensure that your suit stays perfectly in place.

Personalized Fit: Adjustable straps allow you to fine-tune the fit around your waist and shoulders for maximum comfort and security. Enhanced Mobility: Whether you’re shredding down steep runs or hitting jumps in the terrain park, adjustable straps ensure your suit stays in place, no matter how hard you’re pushing yourself.

Verta Tip: Adjust the straps based on your layering needs — loosen them for extra layers or tighten them for a more streamlined fit.

5. Snatched Waist with a Zipper for Style and Function

Ski suits should be as flattering as they are functional, and Verta’s signature snatched waist with zipper detail ensures you always look your best.

Sleek and Chic Design: The cinched waist creates a slimming effect, giving you a polished and elegant look on and off the slopes. Functional Zipper: The front zipper ensures easy on-and-off while maintaining a sleek and contoured fit.

Verta Tip: The snatched waist on both the Flared and Skinny Ski Suits provides the perfect balance of performance and style, making Verta suits ideal for après-ski looks.

6. Durability and High-Performance Fabric

Skiing and snowboarding can put your gear through a lot of wear and tear, so it’s essential to choose a suit that’s built to last. Verta Mountain Club’s ski suits are crafted from premium, high-performance materials designed to withstand even the most challenging conditions.

Abrasion-Resistant Fabric: Our suits are made from durable, water-resistant fabric that holds up through multiple seasons. Reinforced Seams: Designed to handle high-impact movement without compromising structure or comfort.

Verta Tip: Investing in a high-quality suit like Verta’s means you’ll enjoy superior performance and style season after season.

7. Multiple Pockets for Convenience

Whether you’re carrying your phone, lift pass, or snacks for the slopes, having convenient and secure pockets is a game-changer. Verta’s ski suits feature multiple pockets that are both functional and stylish.

Secure Zippers: Safeguard your essentials while you’re on the move. Lift Pass Pocket: Keep your lift pass easily accessible without fumbling in the cold.

Verta Tip: Utilize the inside pocket to keep your phone warm and protected from the cold.

8. Easy Maintenance for Long-Lasting Performance

A high-quality ski suit should be easy to maintain so it continues to look and perform its best. Verta Mountain Club ski suits are designed with easy-care materials that retain their shape and water resistance after multiple washes.

Machine Washable: Follow care instructions to ensure the longevity of your suit. Reapply DWR Coating: Occasionally refresh the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating to maintain waterproofing over time.

Verta Tip: Store your suit properly after ski season by cleaning it thoroughly and hanging it in a cool, dry space.
