Ski suits are not news, but those made by the sports-oriented companies with attention to every little detail are. The ULLR powder suit by Helly Hansen is the perfect example of the second suit type. It is built from the 3-layered material that consists of the FLOW membrane and includes a DWR coating to ensure the ultimate waterproofness and breathability. You will find an abundance of features specific to the freeride type of skiing like an insulated Life Pocket for electronic gear and an adjustable hood designed to be fitted under the helmet. Since you will be riding when it’s completely white outside, the manufacturer took care of the possible light issues and embedded Hi-Viz brim on the suit for better visibility. And certainly, a suit like this had to incorporate some kind of a hazard warning detail like a beacon pocket. This ensures your safety if the weather becomes unpredictable.
