Mountain Hardware's New 1990s Retro Inspired Ski Kit Is Perfection

Seeing a lot of kids walking around the streets dressed in Doc Martins and baggy overalls like they just walked off the set of Boy Meets World and I get the strong sense the next generation is endorsing a comeback of late 1990s/early 2000s fashion. If you’re looking to echo this expression for this under appreciated retro styling on the mountain, I got the kit for you. There’s something about the silhouette of the shell/bib combo I can’t quite put my finger that conjures deep nostalgia .

Picture a bib and jacket that look like they are straight outta Nintendo 64’s 1080 Snowboarding but with all the bells and whistles we have come to expect in outwear in 2023, that we have with the Mountain Hardware First Tracks line. Simple profile, comfortable fit, and quality that we have come to expect from an industry leader. There’s something about the silhouette of the shell/bib combo I can’t quite put my finger that conjures deep nostalgia and I love it.

Mountain Hardware has long been an industry leader in no nonsense, high performance outerwear. They don’t just slap a logo on shoddy garments and try to push them to the masses as fast fashion for the winter enthousiasts. There’s a reason why people whose lives depend on their gear in alpine setting are loyal lifelong customers.

Here’s the long and short of it…this kit a subtle head-turner at the ski resort at a reasonable price by a company that makes quality reliable gear you can depend on. Definitely recommend checking it out if its time to refresh your kit.
