Nikkie Ulia Leopard Print Ski Jacket

Leopard is a neutral, so they say. The NIKKIE Ulia Leopard Ski Jacket simply takes this to altitude.

This is leopard in its richest register, drawn in deep hot chocolate browns rather than brassy golds and looking warm and expensive against snow, not loud. Look closer and there are subtle variations in the pattern.

The shape is a relaxed puffer that finishes at the hip, cut loose with a drawstring hem to pull the volume in, and a fixed hood that keeps the whole silhouette easy. It sits perfectly over high-waisted pants. High quality Sorona insulation makes it warm, and it is piste-perfect throughout: waterproof to 10,000mm with sealed logo zips, snow gaiters at the cuffs and hem, and a ski pass pocket for the gates.

On a mountain of plain puffers, this is the one that gets asked about.

FAQ

Can you ski in the NIKKIE Ulia Leopard Jacket?
Yes, properly. It carries a 10,000mm waterproof rating with sealed zips, generous Sorona insulation, snow gaiters at the cuffs and hem and a ski pass pocket, so it is a full piste jacket that happens to be leopard print.

How warm is the Ulia Leopard?
Very warm. Substantial Sorona insulation and a full lining make it a true winter puffer, so a thermal base layer underneath covers most piste days, with room for a knit in the coldest weeks.

How does the Ulia Leopard fit?
Loose by design, with a cropped length that finishes at the hip and a drawstring hem to bring the shape in. Take your usual size; the relaxed volume is the intended look, and the cropped cut pairs best with high-waisted pants.

Is leopard print hard to wear on the slopes?
Leopard print is super easy to wear because leopard behaves as a neutral. Keep everything else plain: black, chocolate, camel or cream, and make it the only print in the outfit. The deep chocolate colouring keeps it rich rather than loud.
