In the market for a new ski shell jacket? Well, you’ve come to the right place because we’re publishing this right before the new season starts.
When you’re younger, ski shells are a dime a dozen and you wear what you can get. Any child of the 80s/90s (like I am) remembers wearing crazy neon colored jackets because they were all the rage then. Then again…they’re popular again so I guess everything that’s old is new again.
But enough about the 1980s and 1990s. This is 2020.
In this article you’ll find our rundown of the best ski shells for winter 2020-2021, and we’re leaning hard towards backcountry/touring shells because of the uncertainty around this winter and ski resorts due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
So buckle up, because here we go.
