Obermeyer Coco Jacket (Photo: Obermeyer)
Sometimes, performance and style don’t always match on the slopes. They do with the Obermeyer Coco Jacket. The 100 percent Cocona polyester fabric, interior stretch panels, inner cuffs with thumbholes and other features made me wish I could wear this jacket every day. If you’ve been looking for a great-performing ski pant that fits perfectly, try out the Obermeyer London Pant. Made with MicroTec 100 percent polyester twill with HydroBlock, they’ll keep the snow out, whether you’re skiing, snowboarding or just hiking. Heavy-duty zippers, reinforced hems and an adjustable webbing belt add to the useful features. Obermeyer Coco Jacket, $399.50 from www.obermeyer.com. Obermeyer London Pant, $159.50 from www.obermeyer.com.

The next generation of women’s technical riding gear begins with the all-new FXRG Leather Jacket (P/N 98034-12VW, starting at $650) from the Harley-Davidson MotorClothes line.

The waterproof, lightweight cowhide leather is bonded to a wind- and waterproof Cocona Technology membrane for the ultimate in breathability. Six zippered air vents offer fully-customizable air flow and complement the removable PrimaLoft warmth liner that can be worn separately. They’re matched by a removable kidney belt and action back for optimal comfort. Five zippered pockets offer ample storage solutions, and a zipper at the back waist attaches to the FXRG Overpant.

Removable lightweight body armor at the elbows and shoulders increases protection while 3M Scotchlite Reflective Material delivers maximum reflectivity.

Available in XS – 2XL sizes and backed by a limited lifetime warranty. The FXRG Leather Jacket and other new FXRG gear are available now at most Harley-Davidson dealerships.

A high performance midweight base layer constructed of a blend of 65 percent Merino wool and 35 percent Cocona to increase wicking and moisture transfer from the skin. Cocona, which is derived from the byproducts of coconuts, is designed to improve wicking by expanding the fibers of the fabric over a larger surface area. The Merino wool and Cocona are blended together throughout the entire garment.
