Nikkie Uba Ski Jacket in Red

The Nikkie Uba ski jacket is a women's puffer style red ski jacket with a hood. This is the red of downhill bibs and vintage race posters! This modern quilted puffer has diagonal seams. This small design decision has a large effect: where standard horizontal quilting adds width, the diagonal lines draw the eye down and through the body, so the jacket is slimline not inflated. The semi-fitted shape is classic, but flattering. Slimming and cosy all at the same time.

The Uba is also a ski jacket that comes highly rated for warmth. Generous Sorona insulation makes it genuinely cosy, the choice for anyone who runs cold, needing only a light base layer beneath on most days. It is fully waterproof at 10,000mm with sealed logo zips, the fixed drawstring hood snaps closed against wind, and snow gaiters at the cuffs and hem keep powder out. The two-way front zip is practical and vents easily when the afternoon warms up.

Style it the way racing red asks to be styled: black underneath, minimal accessories, sunglasses at lunch. White softens it, cream elevates it, and off the mountain it is the coat that makes a school run or a station platform in February feel considerably more chic.

FAQ

How warm is the NIKKIE Uba puffer jacket?
Very warm. The Uba carries substantial Sorona insulation (341g in size 34) with a full lining, making it one of the warmest jackets in the NIKKIE ski collection. On most piste days a thermal base layer underneath is all you need, with room for a knit in the very coldest weeks.

Can you ski in the Uba, or is it just an après jacket?
It is a genuine ski jacket. A 10,000mm waterproof rating, quality Sorona insulation, sealed zips, snow gaiters at the cuffs and hem and a ski pass pocket make it fully piste-ready, while the two-way zip lets you vent heat on warmer afternoons.

How does the Uba fit?
It has a regular fit with a mid-length cut, and the diagonal quilting keeps the silhouette sculpted rather than boxy. The insulation is built in, so there is no need to size up for warmth; choose your usual size unless you plan on chunky layers underneath.

What colour is racing red?
A true, saturated red in the classic Alpine tradition, brighter than burgundy and deeper than orange-red. It is the heritage colour of ski racing, which is exactly the reference NIKKIE is making.

What do you wear with a racing red ski jacket?
Black ski pants are the definitive pairing and let the red lead. White keeps the look crisp and retro, cream softens it, and accessories are best kept minimal in black or white. Treat the jacket as the statement and everything else as its supporting act.
