Ahead of the 2023/24 winter season, Salomon introduced a shift in its technical outerwear apparel designs with the S/LAB QST GTX Pro snow kit, Moon Patrol GTX kit and Elixir line of insulated jackets.

“Salomon has made a significant investment in the development of its snow apparel line this winter, and the product truly speaks for itself,” shared North American alpine marketing manager Joe Johnson. “We’re thrilled to finally offer a premium-level Gore-Tex kit, the S/LAB QST GTX Pro and other products with cutting-edge, modern designs to better serve our community of skiers and riders.”

The S/LAB QST GTX Pro snow kit is suited for deep powder on ungroomed, untracked zones. The kit includes the S/LAB QST GTX Pro Jacket and S/LAB QST GTX Pro Bib, developed and tested with athletes from Salomon’s freeride team.

The S/LAB QST GTX Pro Jacket and S/LAB QST GTX Pro Bib use a Gore-Tex Pro bonded membrane made for severe conditions while water-repellent, windproof and breathable. The Motion Fit pattern moves with the body and is lightweight with a 3D adjustable hood. Technical jacket details include a fully seam-sealed design with a powder skirt, air vent system and cuff adjustments with hand, chest, goggle, and lift pass pockets. The bibs also feature fully seam-sealed details with DWR treatment, size adjustments, suspenders, ski cut hem protection, a buttoned ankle adjustment, zipped side vents, storage, and a beacon pocket.

Salomon’s Moon Patrol GTX Jacket and Bib make up Salomon’s freeride shell kit with technical bells and whistles for protection in winter conditions. The Jacket and Bib, with a three-layer Gore-Tex, offer maximum waterproof and windproof protection while still delivering comfort and breathability. The MotionFit 360° pattern moves with the body. The jacket includes easy-access pockets and a hood with 3D adjustment. Technical bib features include a large easy-access chest pocket, fit adjustments, an inner air vent system, a three-quarter side zip opening, and a zipped thigh pocket.

Also new for winter 2024 is the Elixir series, a line of three packable, lightweight, warm hooded jackets. The Elixir Hybrid Hooded Insulated Jacket, Elixir Micro Down Jacket and Elixir Ultra Down Parka use HeiQ XReflex technology, “reducing weight and bulk by 25 percent while maintaining the same level of warmth.” The Elixir Hybrid Hooded Insulated Jacket is suited for layering with PrimaLoft Cross Core insulation, while the Elixir Micro Down Jacket and Elixir Ultra Down Parka use fill power goose down for warmth.

The Elixir Hybrid Hooded Insulated Jacket features body-mapped insulation technology, locking in the air, “making it ideal for layering up or down.” The jacket is made from water-repellent stretch knit fabric that allows for freedom of movement without overheating and is moisture-wicking
