3-layer 70D GORE-TEX Pro recycled nylon, fully seam-sealed. It runs at 395g in a size M. The hood is helmet-compatible and the pit zips are YKK AquaGuard. Built for high-output days where the weather doesn't cooperate — freeride terrain, variable ridge conditions, full days above the treeline. Not a resort jacket. If you spend most of your time on groomers, the Arc PrimaLoft is the better call.

PrimaLoft Gold insulation, 133g fill weight. Warm enough for cold chairlift exposure, light enough that you're not sweating on a hard run. The shell is 20D Pertex Quantum, so it packs small. It's not a belay jacket — if you're standing still in -20°C wind for extended periods, layer it under the Ridge Hardshell. For three-season alpine use between October and April, it covers most days.

The Nordwall Merino Base Layer runs at 200gsm — mid-weight, right for active skiing in cold conditions. 150gsm is next-to-skin light touring. 200gsm is the one most people reach for when the temperature drops below -10°C and they're not generating constant heat. It won't itch. Machine wash at 30°C, lay flat to dry. Don't tumble-dry merino.

The Talus Freeride Skis. Wider underfoot, rockered tip and tail, built for variable snow — crud, wind slab, soft powder. If you're mostly on-piste with occasional off-trail excursions, the Edgeline Carving Skis are the better fit. The Edgeline is a stiffer, narrower ski designed for edge-to-edge performance on hard pack. Two different tools. Which one fits depends on where you actually ski, not where you'd like to ski.

Duties and import fees are not included in the product price for those destinations — they're assessed at the border and collected by the carrier.

Tracking number sent when the order leaves the warehouse.

Manufacturing defects and seam failure — covered. DWR fading after normal wash cycles is expected and not a defect; we'll walk you through reproofing. Damage from abrasion, crampons, ski edges, or improper storage isn't covered under warranty, but we'll assess repair costs honestly. The Couloir Bib Pants and Ridge Hardshell both carry a two-year warranty on construction. Bring them in or contact us via the Contacts page.

Yes. Unworn, with tags attached, within 30 days. Sizing on the Couloir Bib Pants runs true to European sizing — check the fit guide on the product page before ordering. If you're between sizes on the Ridge Hardshell and plan to layer a mid-layer underneath, size up. Exchanges are processed within 3 working days of us receiving the return. Sale items are final.

First wash the jacket — a clean DWR responds better than a dirty one. Machine wash at 30°C with a technical cleaner like Nikwax Tech Wash. Then either tumble-dry on low heat for 20 minutes or apply a spray-on DWR treatment like Nikwax TX.Direct while the jacket is still damp. The heat reactivates the factory finish. If it still wets out after that, the DWR layer is exhausted — apply a wash-in treatment. Takes about 40 minutes total.
