Technical ski wear at PEEQ

Not only does PEEQ meet the needs of a fashion-conscious skier, we are also passionate about quality and functionality. Both should go hand in hand and that’s why we believe that creating ski wear collections from all the best brands provides our customers with the ultimate ski wear service, and an outfit that will last season after season.

Here are some of our key brands at PEEQ that we feel offer a little bit extra when it comes to technicality….

The Men's 260 Tech Long Sleeve Half Zip merino is a versatile baselayer in a midweight, zip-neck design and is a go-to foundation for cold-weather layering, whether you’re scoring a powder day at the resort or enjoying a quiet hike through the woods. Made from 100% merino wool jersey fabric with a deep front zip that quickly dumps excess heat, the Tech LS Crewe insulates next-to-skin, breathes to regulate temperature and resists odors on active days or long stints away from home.

Helly Hansen

Designed for professionals facing the coldest conditions it quickly became the go-to piece for performance, warmth and comfort in extreme environments.

Odlo

Founded in Oslo in 1946,  Odd Roar Lofterød Senior had a favourite saying - "always make sure you're one step ahead" and that is certainly evident today in their thermal range. Creative and always on the lookout for new technology, Odlo has provided clothing for Winter Olympians and in 2002 Odlo achieved another major breakthrough in the area of fabric technology with the development of the Effect by Odlo fabric and the launch of the first underwear range to incorporate odour-reducing silver ions.

2019 brings the next level of thermal technology with their superb I-Thermic garments. This intelligent thermal technology knows how and when to keep you warm - thermal sensors monitor your skin temperature and adjust to your personal needs which can be pre-defined on a dedicated app. And the technology doesn’t compromise comfort – the heating wires are knitted into the garment seamlessly, so it feels exactly the same as any other Odlo base layer.
