Nikkie Newport Tonal Leo Ski Jacket in Cream

There are two ways to wear leopard on a mountain. Loudly, or quiet and chic like this ski jacket. 

The NIKKIE Newport Tonal Leo Ski Jacket in cream takes the season's favourite print and relaxes it into tonal cream on cream, a subtle leopard pattern revealed by texture and a soft sheen rather than contrast. From across the piste it's a beautifully textured ivory puffer. A quietly clever piece in NIKKIE's winter range.

The rest of the jacket matches the restraint. A relaxed puffer cut to mid length, loose on purpose with a drawstring hem to bring the shape in, a high collar that frames the face and a fixed hood for when the weather turns.

The warmth, though, is absolute: this carries the most generous Sorona insulation of any jacket in the collection, the one to trust on the coldest days on the slopes.

Waterproof to 10,000 mm with sealed logo zips, snow gaiters at the cuffs and hem, a ski pass pocket, and a two-way front zip are just some of the technical features of this attractive  practical high performance ski jacket.

Cream head to toe is the most elegant thing on snow, and this makes it interesting. Otherwise chocolate, camel and black below all defer to it beautifully. The woman in the plain white puffer will look twice; that is the entire idea.

FAQ

How warm is the NIKKIE Newport Tonal Leo?
It is the most generously insulated jacket in NIKKIE's ski collection, with substantial Sorona insulation and a full lining, so it handles the coldest piste weeks with just a thermal or fine knit underneath.

Is the leopard print obvious?
Deliberately not. The print is tonal, cream on cream, revealed by texture and a soft sheen rather than colour contrast, so it reads as a textured ivory puffer at a distance and shows its leopard up close.

How does the Newport Tonal Leo fit?
It is cut loose on purpose, with relaxed puffer volume, a high collar and a drawstring hem to pull the shape in. Take your usual size; the ease is designed in.

What is the difference between the Newport Tonal Leo and the Ulia Leopard Jacket?
The Ulia wears a bold, high-contrast leopard in rich browns and is cropped; the Newport Tonal Leo is mid length with a cream-on-cream print you notice up close. Both are warm, 10,000 mm waterproof piste jackets, so the choice is how loudly you want your leopard.

Is a cream ski jacket practical?
More than you might expect. The technical shell wipes clean easily, and washing inside out on a cool cycle keeps the cream fresh. Chairlift marks and sunscreen are the main culprits, so treat marks promptly with a wet wipe or make up remover wipe and it will stay pristine season after season.
