OOSC 1080 Ski & Snowboard Jacket: first impressions
The OOSC 1080 Ski & Snowboard Jacket is produced by an Indie brand best known for their bright and beautiful ski onesies in a range of retro patterns – ideal if you like to turn heads après ski. They’ve also turned their hand to ski separates, and we love the pastel colorways of the 1080 jacket.
This eye-catching design isn’t just about looks – the jacket features a removable snow skirt, wrist gaiters, a lift pass pocket and a hefty 10,000mm of waterproofing, so it’s ready to tackle a blizzard, and wide arm vents will cool you down if the sun does come out.

OOSC 1080 Ski & Snowboard Jacket: on the slopes
The 1080 was one of the best female-specific jackets we have tested out, and it is roomy without being boxy, with a nice longer-length hem for added warmth and space to pop a mid layer underneath.
A lot of jackets don’t have enough space for curvier female bodies, but the 1080 feels tailored in all the right places.
There’s a good compromise between insulation and freedom of movement here too, and the 1080 feels comfy to wear all day long and will suit a week of exploring the Alps – OOSC reckon you could wear this from “dropping cliffs to dropping jagerbombs at après ski.”, and we would have to agree. The 1080 is made from recycled polyester, for eco brownie points (see also: the best eco-friendly outdoor brands).
