Picture Organic Demain Jacket

€500 / picture-organic-clothing.com

It’s fair to say there are more exciting ski jackets available this season, but with the Demain (and its equally boring matching bib ‘pant’, €360) you will not find a more technically advanced outfit made using cutting-edge eco-friendly materials.

It’s based around Picture’s revolutionary bio-sourced Xpore membrane, developed in conjunction with movie projector maker Benq (yes, really) – a nano-porous material made with recyclable polyolefin, and coated with a Pfc-free, solvent-free waterproofing treatment. This is a big step towards removing petrochemicals from the outdoor clothing industry.

All that counts for nothing if it doesn’t perform, but this jacket is a masterpiece in eco-engineering, with an unparalleled waterproof rating and off-the-chart breathability. It’ll keep you bone-dry in even the worst Scottish sleet, without ever feeling like you’re trapped in a binliner. Stuff says ★★★★★ A gamechanging jacket that just happens to be eco AF
