Gore-Tex, HeiQ and PrimaLoft tech behind Salomon’s premium designs
Ski brand Salomon has “significantly invested” in its technical outerwear designs for this season, with its line of insulated jackets described as a “new shift”.

Salomon’s new premium snow kit, the S/LAB QST GTX Pro, is ideal for hunting deep powder on adventures into 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 (MSRP $700) and S/LAB QST GTX Pro Bib (MSRP $600) use a GORE-TEX Pro bonded membrane engineered for maximum durability and performance in the most severe conditions, while remaining water repellent, windproof and breathable. Technical jacket details include a fully seam-sealed design with a powder skirt, air vent system and cuff adjustments with strategic hand, chest, goggle and lift pass pockets. The bibs also feature fully seam-sealed details along with DWR treatment, size adjustments, suspenders, ski cut hem protection, a buttoned ankle adjustment and zipped side vents.

The Moon Patrol GTX Jacket (pictured) and Moon Patrol GTX Bib are engineered with three-layer GORE-TEX, offering waterproof and windproof protection, while still delivering comfort and breathability. 

Also new for this winter is the Elixir series, a line of three ultra-light, ultra-warm hooded jackets that can be easily packed away for any adventure. The Elixir Hybrid Hooded Insulated Jacket, Elixir Micro Down Jacket and Elixir Ultra Down Parka utilize a new advanced HeiQ XReflex technology that reduces weight and bulk by 25% while maintaining the same level of warmth. The Elixir Hybrid Hooded Insulated Jacket (MSRP $250) is a great layer for touring with PrimaLoft Cross Core insulation, while the Elixir Micro Down Jacket and Elixir Ultra Down Parka use fill power goose down for ultimate warmth.

North American alpine marketing manager Joe Johnson said: “Salomon has made a significant investment in the development of its snow apparel line this winter and the product truly speaks for itself.

“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.”
