Ski Collection
Earn Every Turn in the KÜHL Ski Collection.
Choose from a variety of fabrics, layers, and silhouettes for the ski-day kit that fits the way you ride:
Shells and Outerwear. The jackets and pants in the Ski Collection are built around waterproof-breathable hardshell and stretch softshell construction with a DWR finish, articulated knees, and ripstop reinforcement where lift chairs and edges do their damage. 4-way stretch keeps the silhouette quiet through a carve and quiet over a midlayer.
Insulating Midlayers. Hoodies and vests carry the warmth-to-weight load. A brushed interior traps body heat without adding bulk, and moisture-wicking faces keep the layer dry under a shell. The cut runs slim enough to tuck cleanly under outerwear and clean enough to wear on its own at the lodge.
Performance Tops. Quick-dry, 4-way stretch tops in nylon-spandex blends move with you from skin-track ascents to lift-served laps. Mesh ventilation under high-output panels handles the temperature swings between climb and descent.
Cold-Weather Accessories. A ski day starts with a hat that pulls double duty: warm enough for a windy chair, breathable enough for the bootpack. The collection's beanies and neck gaiters bring next-to-skin softness and quick-dry performance to the rest of the kit.
When matching weight and feature set to your day, compare against the LAW Series for resort-aggressive layering and the Reactiv Series for active, high-output construction. Look for signature touches like thumb loops that anchor sleeves under gloves, gusseted patterning for high-step bootpacking, and articulated knees that stay flat through a deep turn.

From hardshell outerwear to brushed-interior midlayers and quick-dry base tops, the KÜHL Ski Collection is built around how a real ski day actually layers.
What is the Ski Collection?
The KÜHL Ski Collection is a curated kit of outerwear, midlayers, base tops, and accessories engineered for alpine resort skiing, sidecountry tours, and the cold-weather days that frame a trip to the mountain.
The collection brings together the pieces that work as a system (a waterproof shell over a brushed-interior midlayer over a moisture-wicking top) rather than a one-jacket-does-everything compromise. Each layer is built around how it sits under or over the next.

What pieces are in the Ski Collection?
The Ski Collection covers six product categories that together build a head-to-knee layering system for a ski day: jackets (waterproof-breathable hardshells and insulated outerwear), pants (softshell and hardshell ski pants with articulated knees), hoodies (brushed-interior midlayers built for under-shell warmth), vests (torso-focused insulation for cold-but-clear days), tops (quick-dry, 4-way stretch base and active layers), and hats (beanies and neck gaiters for next-to-skin warmth). Mix and match by temperature, output level, and how many runs separate you from the lodge.
Who is the Ski Collection designed for?
It's designed for skiers and riders who want technical layering without resort-uniform styling. Whether you're chasing chairlift laps at a destination resort, earning turns on the skin track, or building a kit for a week of variable mountain weather, the collection covers the temperature and intensity range a real ski trip throws at you, and reads clean enough off the hill that you don't change at the truck.
What fabrics and construction details define the Ski Collection?
The collection is built around waterproof-breathable hardshell, stretch softshell with a DWR finish, ripstop reinforcement, brushed-interior fleece, and quick-dry nylon-spandex blends. On the construction side, expect articulated knees, gusseted patterning, 4-way stretch, mesh ventilation, thumb loops, and moisture-wicking interiors. Each fabric is matched to the layer it serves: hardshell where weather hits hardest, brushed fleece where warmth-to-weight matters most, and stretch knits where range of motion is the priority.
How does the Ski Collection compare to KÜHL's other series?
The Ski Collection is the most weather-aggressive kit in the lineup. Where the Eclipser Series leans into stretch and all-day wearability across mixed conditions, the Ski Collection is engineered for sustained exposure to cold, wind, and precipitation. It's the kit you reach for when the conditions are the point of the day, not an obstacle to it. For high-output, active construction tuned to movement first, look at the active-leaning series instead.
What weather and conditions does the Ski Collection handle best?
Cold to subzero temperatures, wind, falling snow, mixed precipitation, and high-altitude sun, the conditions a typical ski day cycles through in a single morning.
The system handles weather aggression in two ways: the outer layer (hardshell or insulated jacket and matching pants) blocks wind and water, and the inner layers (hoody, vest, performance top) regulate warmth and moisture as your output changes. UPF 50+ protection on lightweight upper layers covers bluebird days at altitude. Seasoned skiers know the difference a well-built layering system makes.
