Review by Ellie Boeschenstein
The Stio Women’s Credential jacket and pant set is everything I hoped for and more. It feels stylish but athletic, which is exactly the look I’m going for when hitting the slopes. The fit is flattering and true to size with room to add layers underneath. The pants have an adjustable waist allowing me to customize the fit to my liking. I love this feature, especially after an après burger and beer. The jacket is the perfect length and has great coverage without feeling bulky. I love how when fully zipped, I can pull it up to cover my exposed face or use it to keep the wind and snow away from my fuzzy buff.
This set is designed for mountain weather, and it shows. The waterproof, breathable shell keeps me dry in heavy snow and the jacket’s wind resistance is impressive. I also appreciate the ventilation options, which help manage temperature, perfect for spring skiing. The fabric has a slightly stretchy feel, so movement feels natural when I’m skiing.
Here in Big Sky, Montana we can experience some brutally cold temperatures, but we can’t let that stop us from taking on the mountain! I once was told “there’s no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing.” This set locks in warmth and allows me to own those “bad weather” days.
I was thrilled to see the set was offered in my favorite color, navy blue. If that’s not your favorite color, the set is also offered in a few other popping colors. I never want to be super flashy in my ski fit and this set makes me feel cool, confident and ready to ski in any conditions.
