Salomon Super Tech ''Shadow'' jacket and pants




Still trying to find some half decent looking Salomon gear for 10/11. But in the mean time, Salomon have a great triple layer Gore-Tex number here.
The most technical jacket and pant that Salomon makes, The Shadow with its 3 layer Gore-Tex, light but durable face fabric, helmet volume hood and a Recco avalanche reflector to ensure that if you come a cropper to mother natures wicked rath, you will have all the help you need. ( although avalanche tranciever's and avalanche airbag's would be alot more useful!)





Jacket from around £400
Pants from £350


Check out Mike Douglas' review below.









JIBERISH!, sooo hot right now err and always has been i guess. ''Hey do you know Tom Wallisch rides for them!''

Expect alot from the Jiberish boys this Winter. Notouriously hard to get hold of in  the U.K, Jiberish is best bought on U.S sites or E-Bay.

WARNING!!! takes a VERY good park skier to get away with wearing it, or else people will think that you're a knob.

Check out some of their gear in this edit. I will put up the Winter10/11 line when it is realeased.

2010/11 Collections

As London fashion week gets underway, we take a look at the new ranges from the top skiwear manufacturers both technical and steezy....



Armada - Tanner Hall & JP Auclair's company have a new interactive feature on thier website which allows you to build a look from its new 2010/11 range.

First Drop Outerwear - The fledgling clothing company that in thier own words ''was conceived after years of personal discontent in the ski industry'', continue to hit high notes with your local park rats and jibbers with yet another super colourful and equally versitile collection. With popular skiers Liam Downey and the super laid back LJ Strenio on the team, then FD is set to become a sure fire hit again this season, and has also gone down the ever present interactive route to enable user ease.

 Probably one of the biggest stories of this month in the Ski community is the signing of Tom Wallisch, Nick Martini and Mike Riddle to The North Face team. Tom Wallisch only signed a full deal with Scott in the early part of the year, but with Dew Tour and euro X-Games wins under his belt along with his total domination of park and urban has attracted the attention of the largest mountainwear company. Nick Martini who is one of the most talented youngsters on the scene right now (see Poor Boys Productions - Everyday Is A Saturday) and the super stylish pipe skier Mike Riddle, expect BIG things from The North Face for this coming Winter collection. I will post the collection when it comes available.

Saga - Another company which teeters more towards baggy parkwear. Saga with pro riders such as Tim Durtschi, Ian 'Chug' Cosco and Collin Collins are a firm favourite with jibbers everywhere. With thier 2010/11 collection echoing the thoughts of the other park specific clothing companies with thier uber baggy colourful jackets and pants, should stand them in good stead to be seen on kickers and rails all over the US and Europe this coming season.
