Beimian is the most popular outdoor brand in Europe and the United States, with annual sales of more than 2 billion US dollars, and it is also one of the most well-known outdoor sports brands among domestic consumers. However, unlike professional ice and snow sports brands, Beimian is positioned for popular outdoor recreation, and ski clothing is more cost-effective.
Gore-Tex is a common fabric used by professional outdoor brands, and North Face also uses this in skiwear, which is divided into 2 and 3 layers, with 3 layers of fabric being the most durable and waterproof, and 2 layers of fabric being both protective and comfortable. PrimaLoft®, the insulating material used in ski wear, is lightweight, warm and highly repellent. The 2- and 3-ply Gore-Tex fabric ski wear costs $399 and $699, respectively, but if you're not a regular outdoor skier, you don't have to buy the most protective 3-ply fabric.
Beginners or skiers in indoor ski resorts can consider the North DryVent series of ski wear, which does not use waterproof membrane, but adds DWR waterproof coating to the surface of the fabric, which can only resist light rain and snow, and the moisture permeability is only 750-800g/㎡/24H, while the sweat generated by light exercise for adults per hour is converted into water vapor is about 500g. But the DryVent ski suit is a 3-in-1 construction with a wool inner layer that acts as insulation, and even when not being used in skiing, the outer jacket can be used as a light hiking jacket or windbreaker for everyday city life at an affordable price of $199.
The United States is one of the countries with a fairly mature development of ice and snow sports, and the enthusiasm of citizens to participate in ice and snow sports is also relatively high, so in the American market, the choice of ski clothing in the north is also more diverse. On the other hand, domestic ice and snow sports have just started, so Beimian does not have a special product line for skiing scenes in the domestic market, but it is recommended to choose Gore-Tex fabric jackets with high waterproof and windproof performance as ski wear. In terms of functionality, there is no substantial difference between a ski suit and a jacket, but when choosing a jacket as a ski suit, you should pay attention to choosing a warm layer of clothing in the middle. North products need to be convenient to buy in China, but the market is full of imitations, and consumers are advised to buy them through regular channels.
