Nikkie Ukiki Ski Jacket in Red

The NIKKIE Ukiki is a red shorter length puffer style ski jacket for women. The jacket presents as one clean, uninterrupted plane of colour as the front zip is fully concealed. No hardware, no visual noise, just a vivid red. It is the minimalist's approach to a bold shade: elegant and sporty in appearance.

The cut is cropped, finishing neatly at the hip, which does two useful things. It sits perfectly over high-waisted ski pants without bunching and it lengthens the leg line. Ribbed cuffs seal the sleeves cleanly at the wrist under gloves and the fixed drawstring hood frames the face if you need protection agaisnt the chill.

Warmt is provided by high quality Sorona insulation and the jacket is fully waterproof at 10,000 mm with sealed logo zips on the pockets. Snow gaiters at the cuffs and hem keep powder out of a cropped silhouette, which is precisely where powder likes to go!  The ski pass pocket handles the lift gates.

Wear with high-waisted bootcut ski pants flares for the sharpest proportion of the season. Quiet construction, bright colour and you skiing with confidence.

FAQ

How warm is the NIKKIE Ukiki Ski Jacket?
Warm enough for proper winter skiing. Sorona insulation runs throughout with a full lining, so on most piste days a thermal base layer underneath is all you need, with room for a fine knit in the coldest weeks.

Is a cropped ski jacket practical for skiing?
Yes, provided it is built for it, and the Ukiki is. Real technical ski features for the is cropped shorter length ski jacket include snow gaiters at the hem and cuffs seal the shorter silhouette against powder, the 10,000 mm waterproof rating and sealed zips handle the weather. The cropped cut is designed to pair with high-waisted ski pants so there is no gap at the waist.

How does the Ukiki fit?
It has a regular fit with a cropped length that finishes at the hip, and ribbed cuffs that sit snugly under gloves. The insulation is built in, so choose your usual size unless you plan on chunky layers underneath.

What is the difference between the NIKKIE Ukiki and the Uba jacket?
Length and character. The Ukiki is cropped (56 cm) with a concealed zip and a clean, minimalist face; the Uba is mid length (65 cm) with diagonal quilting and a more sculpted, classic puffer look. Both carry Sorona insulation and a 10,000 mm waterproof rating, so the choice is silhouette rather than performance.

What do you wear with a red cropped puffer?
High-waisted ski pants are the natural partner, and black or night blue let the red lead. White is a lovely fresh contrast. The NIKKIE Gracy flares in black or red make the proportions particularly good. Keep accessories minimal; the colour is the accessory.
