Patagonia Synchilla pullover
Patagonia has long been the number one choice for committed outdoor types. The Synchilla pullover has a charming, retro look and sits somewhere between a fleece and an anorak, so it’s impressively versatile. £140, patagonia.com
Bomber Bentley carbon helmet
Bomber is one of the best ski brands in the business, especially for creatives – think collaborations with Basquiat and Haring. Our top pick is the carbon helmet in partnership with Bentley, which is hand- made and comes fitted with an integrated visor. £844, bomberski.com
Rossignol Essential Ski
The raw wood aesthetic of the Essential Ski looks almost vintage – but the technology here is as modern as it gets. Almost entirely recyclable and excellent on piste and powder alike, it’s no wonder the design took 10 years to perfect. From £750, rossignol.com
Sease Dinghy beanie
While helmets are now the smart gentleman’s choice on the slopes, lunches al fresco demand a good beanie to keep frostbitten ears at bay. Sease’s Dinghy style is a cosy choice that’s made of 100 per cent cashmere, and is reversible, too. €220, sease.it
Aleck Nunchucks
If you’ve ever tried to signal to your party that it’s time to stop for a chocolat chaud and found your sign language wildly misinterpreted, you need this wireless helmet communication system. Tuck these Nunchucks into your helmets, and you’ll be chatting away with ease. £59,95, aleck.io
Houdini Moonwalk vest
Houdini is the brand-to-know for haute hipster skiers, and that Clapton-meets-Courchevel chic.The new Moonwalk vest is light, breathable and made from recycled materials that shed a fraction of the microplastics compared to average fleeces. €160, houdinisportswear.com
Carv Digital coach

Ortovox Guardian coat
Colder climes demand Ortovox’s triple-layer Guardian coat, to keep you supremely warm and dry without the extra padding thanks to its ingenious (and very luxurious) merino lining. SEK9,000, ortovox.com
Shred Gratify frameless goggles
For those white-out days, only a heavy duty pair of goggles will do. Shred’s frameless Gratify model lives up to its name, and the contrast-boosting lens tech will have you tackling moguls in any condition. £210, shredoptics.com
Loro Piana Skiwear collection
Those with money to burn and who consider Gstaad Guy a personal hero will love Loro Piano’s stunning collection of skiwear. This season, expect to choose from the kind of stealth wealth shades that wouldn’t look out of place on Succession. loropiana.com
Vallon Heron Mountain sunglasses
Vallon’s classic Alpine sunglasses are terrifically smart, but they don’t just look the business. Its Heron Mountain style is specifically engineered to minimise glare, block wind and protect from UV rays, making these lenses incredibly practical on the piste. £102, vallon.com
Brunello Cucinelli Nubuck hikers
When you’re not in ski boots, slip into Brunello Cucinelli’s nubuck hikers. Wool twill details combine with hardy, rubber soles to stand up well against slushy snow and icy patches. £1,150, brunellocucinelli.com
Therabody Compression boots
If you spend more time on the slopes than in the spa, consider a pair of compression boots from Therabody, which will boost circulation and reduce stiffness at the end of the day. £449, therabody.com
