This next generation of Hike and Ride ski apparel is designed to accommodate, adjust and perfectly fit skiers and ski movements as performed in demanding situations. This is accomplished with strategically engineered panels, a redesign in patterning and darts in key areas to keep the fit sleek and clean, while accommodating for actual ski movements. In the Quest Motion Fit jacket, engineers adjusted the pattern material between the shoulders and added darts for an easy reach on steep pole plants. With proper material and space between the seat area and belt, skiers can stay low in the charging position more comfortably. This apparel protects from the harshest weather, yet is lightweight for optimal skiing and backcountry travel. Features in the Quest Motion Fit pants include external leg vents, a thigh pocket, a removable gaiter with suspenders and a hood that fits over a helmet. The set is lightweight and made with a 3L membrane that is easily packable without extra weight. Salomon, the mountain sports company. Salomon was founded in 1947 in the heart of the French Alps.

Featuring ultra-lightweight fabrics with Exo Sensifit technology, the S-Lab Exo Jersey and Tight are athlete-driven products adapted to the specific needs of Nordic skiers. Created in collaboration with some of the world’s top Nordic racers and product engineers at the Salomon Lab in Annecy, France, the latest line in elite/training apparel is made from lightweight technical fabric with welded seams and tailoring to fit a body in motion. Exo Sensifit is Salomon’s highest level of compression, offering a 20% increase in postural control, muscle support and skeletal stability, and an 11% increase in active recovery. “Salomon has learned a lot about compression and postural support from trail running,” said Salomon Product Line Manager, Mathieu Danel. “We adapted this knowledge to the specific movements in Nordic skiing, with support for back muscles and shoulders, and improved expansion of the chest to enable breathing.” The S-Lab Exo jersey provides support for muscles in the back, shoulder and triceps areas, improving posture for better breathing and aligning the scapula to maximize efficiency and reduce fatigue. Taking note of the importance that the motion of the lower body plays in Nordic skiing, the S-Lab Exo tight provides light support for the quads and lower back muscles, while helping maintain knee cap alignment. This ensures is the transfer of energy directly into the stride rather than wasting it on the effort to maintain stability. Salomon, the mountain sports company.
