Kjus Ski Jackets and Clothing

I own several pieces of Kjus attire, but this is the only item that has been a disappointment. The gloves are good looking and provides solid grip, but they're not warm enough for where I ski. At -10C your hands will be cold. If you primarily ski closer to 0 then the Stealth 2 gloves are a great option, but be aware of this limitation.

The kjus warp-speed is one of the best ski jackets I've ever owned. It has a great balance of warmth and size (not bulky). I wore the jacket on a four day ski trip to Stratton VT in sub-zero wind-chill conditions at the peak, and the jacket shielded me from the harsh elements. In fact, I was comfortable and the jacket maintained my normal body temperature thanks to the heat absorbing gel in the liner. The built-in hooded mask easily tucks away in a hidden compartment and is well-designed. There's mesh over the mouth that shields your face from the cold while allowing you to breathe without trapping moisture (which often freezes in poorly designed masks). I highly recommend this jacket and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the cheap plastic snap-on buttons used in the waistband. The snap-on buttons are flimsy considering the price of the jacket and one of them apparently broke upon use.

I ordered these online after researching them extensively. They are TOTALLY worth it! They are warm, fit true to size, and because they stretch they are REALLY comfortable. PLUS, they have an adjustable waist band.

Honestly, what you really want out of your ski gloves is comfort, warmth and flexibility. Bonuses would be that they match your outfit and that you like the look. NORWEGIAN Kjus has designed a great ski glove, with great friction to hold items, flexible and very comfortable. I have not had cold fingertips once while using these gloves, and while diving into 3feet of deep POW, I did not get any snow into the glove due to the tight but flexible velcro band. Great glove in every respect.

I have owned Mountain Hardware and Marmot soft shell jackets. After my 5 yr old Marmot Sharp Point jacket developed a broken pit zipper, I was planning on buying an Arcteryx, but purchased this jacket instead - my first Kjus. I use it on cold windy days here in northern California and am in love with how warm it is despite being so light. And it looks very stylish and slim fitting. I love the elbow and the cuffs as well. There is no soft shell better than this!
