Ski Hard, Look Flawless
This winter, France-based brand, Black Crows has set the bar for innovation in high-performance ski wear. Their new collection incorporates new fabrics that expand the possibilities for comfort and function, while valuing sustainability and ethical practices, whilst maintaining uncompromising style and distinctive aesthetic appeal
The collection, for men’s and womenswear, comprises Big Mountain, Mountain Touring, and All-Terrain categories that feature silhouettes designed with ultra-specific sport and adventure in mind. The Black Crows design process creates pieces that are highly specialised with seamless cuts and sleek, minimal colourways. This season dials in the fit of each outfit, so that when you ski hard, you look flawless.
The Big Mountain category centres around the Ora silhouettes, designed for freeride and off-piste skiing: it’s minimal, ergonomic, and practical. The Ora xpore ripstop silhouette, with bib and jacket, is composed of Xpore fabric, an all-weather, highly breathable material that uses the most eco-sustainable performance textile technology available. The Xpore membrane is entirely waterproof but breathable and is also free of all chemical solvents, so it’s 100% non-toxic. The Ora body map silhouette incorporates Polartec alpha direct active insulation, the newest in adaptable tech fabric that repels moisture and continuously releases excess body heat. All of the Ora pieces are designed to be elegant armour on the mountain: protective, intuitive and stylish.
The Mountain Touring category, for mountain skiing and randonnée, is made up of the Freebird silhouettes, which are dependable and lightweight. These pieces, from the lightest wool jackets to waterproof xpore protective outer layers, are sport-focused, and specifically designed for comfort to carry you from the near to the far side of the mountain. Each ultra-specific need is seamlessly integrated into the design, from pocket placement to the flawless fit between layers, so you can feel light and go far.
All Terrain silhouette, the Ferus, is designed for all-terrain, freeride and resort skiing. The pieces are insulating and innovative, with a refined style that suits all phases of the day at the resort. Warmth and comfort are a necessity, and style is thoughtful and executed to the highest standard.
For this season, 100% of the collection is made in European factories, and collections utilise eco-friendly Xpore fabrications, a shift that represents Black Crows’ eco-consciousness and efforts to preserve the environment and climate that brings so much joy. All down in coats (like the Ora micro down jacket and the Freebird expe down jacket) is 100% traceable duck down and feathers, so the welfare of the birds is respected at every stage.
For the first time ever, Black Crows are also introducing new active layers in merino wool: long and short sleeve base layers cut to fit perfectly under Black Crows outwear.
