The future of ski fashion

Cruelty-free ski wear is in vogue this season, with plenty of vegan and sustainable clothing and accessories designed to keep you warm on the slopes while minimising harm to animals and the environment. Swapping out a ski jacket that uses real down (which, in some cases, may be plucked from live birds) for a synthetic fleece or plant-based down can make a positive impact on the planet, without compromising on comfort or style.
• Plant-based down ski jacket: Stylish, snug, and cruelty-free, this head-turning plant-based ski jacket will keep you warm on the chilliest piste.
• Synthetic hat and gloves: Made from 100% GOTS (global organic textile standard) certified organic wool to keep you nice and toasty.
• Non-leather boa boots: These stylish vegan boots are designed to make a statement as you hit the après ski scene.

If you’ve not captured it in crystal-clear HD in the 21st century, did it even happen? The next generation of sports cameras steps things up a few notches, utilising everything from machine learning and AI to 8K live streaming.
• Machine learning and AI ski camera: It can be easy to lose members of your party on the slopes, but not with a nifty AI camera, which uses machine learning to identify individuals from distance.
• 8K live streaming: Forget those shaky images that look like VHS from the 1980s, 8K live streaming will make your audience feel like they’re right there with you.
• Voice control ski camera: Never miss a picture-perfect view again as you descend the slopes with a voice-activated, ultra-HD 8K camera.

Tomorrow’s technology is brimming with super-cool accessories and clothing you never knew you couldn’t live without. From life-saving rescue systems to smart helmets and Bluetooth gloves, there’s enough state-of-the-art ski gear in the pipeline to keep even the biggest of tech geeks happy.

• Recco rescue system jacket: This ingenious jacket contains a special reflector and detector that can be picked up easily by search and rescue teams. A lifesaver – literally.
• Helly Hansen Life Pocket: Three times warmer than a standard ski jacket, the Life Pocket will prevent your smartphone from suffering from temporary shut down and premature battery drain caused by cold mountain temperatures.
• Bluetooth gloves: You’ll never lose your skiing buddies again with these Bluetooth gloves, which allow you to make and receive calls without even touching your phone.
• Smart helmet: With its built-in mic and speaker, you’ll never get bored queueing for the ski lift again with your favourite playlist blasting out.
