What color is your ski jacket?

[ski diva]

Someone I know swears that red is the most common ski jacket color. Another person says blue.

So what color is your jacket? Let's find out if either of them are right.

BTW, if you have more than one, try to select the one you use the most.

Red is the easest to match. There're no different shades of red. So yes, I wouldn't be surprised it that's the most popular color.

Mine is wine color. It's too dark to be mistaken for red. Though it's kind of red'ish.

Mine is a two tone red now, from Arc'teryx. The prior one was blue. Before that it was a gray and black and yellow, before that it was purple. Before that it was black with yellow stitching. Before that, red and white, I think. Before that, navy. Before that, pale blue.

I think I can safely say I'm not in a rut. I have a "second" jacket that is khaki and black.

Needless to say, the current pants are black and have been for a long time. The purple jacket was a one piece, so the pants were purple and the jacket with the yellow stitching had purple STRETCH pants!

Mine's black because it pleases my inner ninja. Seriously though, it's more or less my favorite color and it goes well with other black pieces or pretty much any color. Though the ninjability is a bonus.

 

[Jilly]

Mine's brown. But I do have 2 other suits. A Phenix blue jacket with charcoal pants and my old instructor suit that is gee - RED and grey.

 

[Sheena]

Mine is an Orage jacket, white with pale yellow and sage green color blocks.

Red is right

I think red is the most common, ski patrol, instructors etc all wear it and it is perennial. Red I think is so universal because it stands out, for you know safety etc etc..... On area I ski in whatever is dark enough to hide the grease that our chairlift drips. Nice huh? Off area, I do go brighter. I figure if anything ever happened I'd be easier to find. Maybe not alot of truth there, but it makes me feel better. (Black on area )

Black here, also. I have no fashion sense (really) but figure black, gray, and white are pretty safe together.

 

[Ski Spirit]

I have a new jacket and it's two shades of green (Mountain Hardwear). My old one is grey and a very bright blue.

Is this like What Color is Your Parachute?

Mine's powder blue.

Is this like What Color is Your Parachute?

That did cross my mind when I created the thread. But no -- different meaning entirely.

 

[ski now work later]

My parka is white and I also have a new Burton soft shell that's black that should be great for milder days. I pretty much wear black, white, off white, and brown, so nothing clashes and because I look best in neutrals. I do have some cute new goggles to add some color this Winter though (1 pr. lavendar for flat light and 1 pr. sage green for bluebird days).

 

[Native Vail Gal]

I always wear black pants, so lot's of different colors of jackets can go with that! I have several jackets....but while I look in my closet, it appears they all fall into the family of purples and lavenders. I do have a white quilted ski jacket as well.

I'm sorry to to disagree, but there are sooooooo many shades of red, that I've had a hard time matching some of the stuff I have.
There is tomato red, inferno red, Chili red, ........shall I go on.
I really had a hard time matching a pair of pants to a jacket a few years ago and said, never again. Ugh!

I like white because you can mix it with shades of anything you want for a classic look
I like to mix it with browns and greens.

I bought a pale blue Cloudveil jacket at the end of last season - and I love it! It goes great with my black or white pants....I had another blue before that. I also have a periwinkle/lavender Isis soft shell for warmer days. I am a bit of a jacket collector. Always seeing something new that catches my eye. Unfortunately (and probably best for the bottom line) my husband keeps the spending in check.

 

[tradygirl]

Purple softshell, purple hardshell, black pants.

Green goggles, bright orange (or green) hat. Seriously, it's not as bad as it sounds.

 

[Kimmyt]

I'm with num on the ninja-ness. Except this year my ninja status may be in question because I bought a pair of tan ski pants.

 

[Gina23]

I have two... last year's is light blue and my brand spankin' new northface wavy is jet black

 

[Kiragirl]

(my parachute has a hole in it)

My jacket is white with cool purples and blues around the fleece color. I have navy cold-weather bibs and want to buy new black pants-a little more stretchy for early/late season.

My jacket is mostly white with some blue, and the white just never gets clean anymore no matter how much I wash it. I'm going with something a little darker when I get a new jacket this season.
