If you’re a skier aiming to look stylish on the slopes, Nils has you covered. Their Mariska ski jacket is one of the many standouts of their impressive line for women.

 

The solid color down jacket is incredibly warm and cozy, thanks to 650 fill. It has lovely stylish accents on the buttons and zippers, which are small but go a long way in adding a bit of pizzazz to the product.

 

Fleece cuffs inside the sleeves help keep snow out and warmth in. The outer cuffs are also adjustable so you can further keep the weather out. The jacket is waterproofed well, but also fairly breathable — at least as best as today’s technology allows. You may sweat if you’re overdressed, but the jacket will break the wind and keep the chill out on the downhill runs.

 

Zippers and buttons are fashioned such that they’re easy to use with gloved hands. Other impressive elements include a fleece-lined chin guard and an array of interior pockets to keep you organized: a large internal pocket, a lift pass compartment, Chapstick pocket and a mesh goggle pocket. All of this speaks to Nils’ thoughtfulness as a brand.
