Picture – Ponoka 2.0 Ski Jacket – Grey Melange: $399
Rhythm’s verdict:
Picture is a brand that was new to Australia last year and we fell in love straight away! All of their garments are so different and the bonus is Picture as a brand are very environmentally aware with this jacket made from 51% recycled Polyester. This jacket has leather sleeves and fits really well. Our model (Meghan the Retail Manager) is a size 8-10 and is wearing an 8 in this photo.
Features:
- 10/10
- Ski Pass pocket
- Hand warmer pockets
- Fake and removable Fur
- Removable snowskirt
Ripcurl – Chic ski jacket (Fancy or Printed): $349.99
Rhythm’s verdict:
This jacket actually comes in 4 different colours and we couldn’t decide our favourite. With so many block colours it is good to see the pattern in the black and white but those other colours are hard to go by also. Jacket fits well but isn’t the longest so if you prefer a longer jacket keep reading. Some people like their jacket to sit just below their back so it is all personal preference.
Features:
- 10/10
- Polyester with DWR treatment
- Bottom tightening system
- Removable fur
- 5 outside pockets, 1 inside
Picture – Weekend ski jacket – Burgundy White: $349
Rhythm’s verdict:
We are undecided whether this jacket looks better with white or navy pants? White is very much in this season, all across the Northern Hemi white was everywhere. Either way it is a nice bright jacket broken up by the white, mountain shaped top and cork details. Love the bright pink hand gaiters, not that they will really be seen but it is a nice touch!
Features:
- 10/10
- 45% recycled polyester
- Ski Pass pocket
- Tactile smartphone pocket
- Hand gaiters

Roxy – Jet Ski Premium Snowboard Jacket: $399.99
Rhythms verdict:

Karbon – South Ski Jacket – Blue: $699
Rhythm’s verdict:
This jacket actually comes in 3 colours but the blue was the pick of the bunch for us. It is so bright, we love it. The great thing is this jacket will go with so many different pants. We matched it with the black Armada Vista Gore-Tex ski pant because of the fit and we figured a lot of people out there already own black pants.
