Whether you’re a ski racer jotting down your holiday gift wishlist for Santa or someone shopping for a special ski racer in your life, Arctica knows what ski racers want this holiday season.
Side Zip Pants
Every ski racer needs a good pair of side zip pants, and having an extra pair never hurts. Here’s why. With 13 colors available in our famous Side Zip 2.0 Pant, you can mix and match your ski kit throughout the season. Check out our 2025 exclusive colorways, Evergreen and Blush. And, if you’re looking to switch things up, check out our other styles, like our bibs, for even more options. Just ask Erin, a customer who left this review: “I tried other brands, but these are just the best for kids who ski race. Love the colors, great fit.”
A Good Down Jacket
A good down jacket should be a staple in every ski racer’s closet. You’ll want to consider two styles: a long overcoat and a packable puffy.
The Gate Master Coat XT and the Super Parka offer unmatched warmth in a long down coat—like standing in a sleeping bag. If you plan on spectating one of the five World Cup events in North America this winter, a long down coat is exactly what you need to stay warm and focus on enjoying the race. A long down jacket is always the perfect gift for ski racing parents who spend many weekends standing in sub-freezing temps spectating. The best news of it all, though? Our long down coats are currently over 60% off as we make more room in our warehouse.
The Classic Down Packet 2.0 Ski Jacket, or the brand new Duo Down in Men’s and Women’s, is an essential gift for any ski racer. Thanks to its DuraLite shell and ethically sourced 650-fill power goose down, it’s perfect for cold, snowy, or wet days. This thick puffy packs into a mini-pillow shape, ideal for long road trips to ski races and easily stashable in a ski pack. An expansive packet pocket is designed with all the extra ski racing *stuff* in mind. It’s the perfect stash zone for ski straps, on-hill tuning tools, snacks, and even your water bottle.
Training Shorts
Give them warm buns this holiday season. Training shorts are the holiday gift you didn’t know a ski racer needed. Insulated, weatherproof training shorts keep ski racers warm like full pants do without restricting movement. The most important muscle groups for ski racing—glutes and quads—perform better when warm. Training shorts also protect their race suit from wet chairlifts and pilling. Our shorts are made with Heat40 insulation and waterproof, breathable fabric. Plus, they come in seven different colors—hot pink, anyone? Perfect for any personality.
The Warmest Down Vest
Our Gate Master Down Vest is a favorite among ski racers and our ambassador team. With men’s and women’s versions, each vest features 650-fill power goose down for optimal warmth, along with a cozy removable hood. This ultra-puffy vest allows complete freedom of movement while keeping the core warm. It’s ideal for training, with strategically located Flex10 stretch fabric in gate strike areas to keep the vest looking sharp even after seasons of ski racer abuse. It’s a stylish choice around town and great to layer over a thinner jacket. Our ambassadors love the feel of this vest’s DuraLite interior, the fact that the hood is removable for speed training, and the array of smart pockets.
Choose between the Black Kat Training Shorts and our classic 2.0 Training Shorts. Fits perfectly over our FIS-approved Race suits.
Bonus: Stocking Stuffers for Ski Racers
The little things are big things!
New Diamond Stones
Diamonds (stones) are a ski racer’s best friend. New diamond stones are the equivalent of a perfectly sharp chef’s knife. Help them prep their race skis to perfection with some new tuning tools.
Ski Straps
Every ski racer needs more ski straps, right? Plus, ski straps help skis stay in good shape for longer.
