Custom Snow Jacket Suggestions

mafmouf on 04/07/2024 - 15:07

Hi all,

I'm in the market for 2 adult (and maybe 1 child) custom snow jackets as a gift for a major milestone. Does anyone have experience with scoping or purchasing custom snow jackets and have suggestions/recommendations?

The trip is later in the year to expectedly so there is plenty of time. We'd initially use it for general travelling in snowy locations at apparently -20degC and later for skiing/snowboarding in years to come.

Not sure what other considerations I should have. Previously we wore "branded" rainproof jackets with heaps of layers underneath. It worked but it wasn't as cold (maybe -10degC).

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Which features of the jackets need to be bespoke?
- mafmouf on 04/07/2024 - 16:18
  
  Ability to put custom text/words on the back and probably style/colour options for areas of the jacket.
  
  Thinking a bit more, chances are (as I read on some other forums) buying a jacket then getting text added may be simpler/better value.
  
  Have you customised this kinda gear before?

    No, but you'll get better advice by making your post clearer. I reckon you'll pay an astronomical amount to customise a multi-layer multi-component waterproof garment. I don't believe any hard shell jackets are made here so you may need to get this done overseas.

      Thanks heaps. You're right because I don't know exactly what I want yet.
      
      I think my original request should be finding the resources to explore reputable suppliers to see what the options and costs are.

-20 degrees in Australia?

Arc'teryx if you've got money to burn. When being active you do want your clothes to be breathable - arm pit vents are very helpful.
- mafmouf on 04/07/2024 - 19:59
  
  Nah, not AU.

Am I the only one who thinks this is a bad idea ? Some are very particular about expensive gear/ tools etc..

They may end up not using your gear at all
- mafmouf on 06/07/2024 - 00:30
  
  In this case they will for sure so I'm not worried. In all other instances I'd follow your advice.

Just buy a good quality snow jacket then take it to the embroiderys and get names and or logo done by them.

  Thanks for reinforcing an idea that came up which seems to be the easiest.
