3 Eye-Catching Matching Ski Kits for Winter 2026

I don’t care much about how I look at my office day job. I dress professionally—jeans, nice shoes, and a collared shirt—but I don’t need to impress anyone. I just want to blend in, do my job, and go home. But when it comes to skiing, looks matter to me.

The night before a backcountry tour or day on the lifts, I’ll spend hours debating about what ski shell to bring (bright or muted) and whether I want to wear a more techy breathable midlayer or down-to-earth and grungy wool flannel. I lay out the black ski pants I always use because they never clash. Finally, I like to stand in the mirror to make sure there’s absolutely no gap between my goggles and helmet, a well-known faux pas amongst novice skiers.

This obsession with looks grows out of the fact that skiing is a big part of my identity. It’s the main sport I grew up with, and it’s something I’ve worked tirelessly to pass onto my kids. I need to look—and feel—good when I’m on the snow. As a 44-year-old dad, I’m mature enough to identify the ridiculousness of my obsession, but also old enough to say “fuck it” and still buy in.

This year, I’m stepping it up a notch and going with an all-matching kit. I’ve always been a two-tone person, but you only live once, and a matching kit is the obvious progression. Like someone who’s confident enough to show up to a party in a Canadian tuxedo (jeans and a jean jacket), I’m confident enough in my old age to hop on the lift with my Gore-Tex ski pants matching my Gore-Tex ski shell.

I’ve long believed that matching ski kits were only for groms romping around the terrain park. But the more I look around, the more I realize that monochromatic outfits are being sported by the most ambitious, graceful, and accomplished skiers across the hill.

Watch some of Cody Townsend’s “The 50 Project” videos and you’ll notice he loves the matching kit, making his look sleek and beautiful while ripping down America’s most famous backcountry runs. Pull up popular ski movies from the past couple years, and you’ll see more of the same—pros pushing the limits in one-color ski suits.

One-tone ski kits are also a big nod to fun, thanks to closing-day parties where it’s de rigueur to show up in 80s onesies. Matching kit confidence has become a shorthand reminder that skiing is a sport built around being carefree—and I’m here for it.

In preparation for my new commitment to the matching ski kit, I’ve been scouring the internet for this season’s most ambitious offerings. Here are three choices that promise to have me, and you, looking good all season long.

Arc’teryx and Atomic Grottoflage Collab

These two Amer-owned brands came together to offer a full ski setup that centers around the same camouflage-esque print. Arc’teryx used it to cover their three-layer Gore-Tex Sabre jacket and pants, and Atomic laid it across the top and bottom of their all-mountain Maverick 105 CTI skis, along the lower shaft of their Backland Fr Sqs poles, and across the back of their Four Pro L HD goggles and Revent Gt Amid helmet. I’ll admit it takes some guts to show up to the lift wearing six pieces of matching gear, but I have a testing sample and can’t wait to turn heads.

Wild Rye Heyburn Kit

This woman-founded and woman-run company just launched its first ski kits and they’ve gone all in on the one-color approach. They offer two different colors for their Heyburn ski jacket and bibs, but all the marketing shots have models in matching setups that look sleek and fun. My Instagram feed has been chock full of bad-ass women wearing their kits in one color, and I’m jealous.

Raide TourTech Kit

Word on the street is that if you live in Aspen, Colorado or anywhere else in the Roaring Fork Valley (where Raide is based), this is the hottest kit to hit the slopes in a long time. Raide came out of the gates strong and drew a following with their well-designed backcountry ski pack, then launched an innovative running belt, and now has the matching TourTech ski kit that’s full of smart innovations and beautiful to look at against a snowy backdrop. Plenty of us who don’t live in Aspen want this kit, too.
