FREERIDE THREADS

A flattering cut, bomber weatherproofing, easy-cracking pit-zips, roomy enough for layering, burly enough for the howling chairlift ride, but not too heavy for schlepping, the Marmot JM Pro Jacket and matching pants are exactly what our female testers look for in a shell for skiing hard. Jacket: $550, pant: $430; marmot.com
