When needing to update my workout gear a couple months ago, I stumbled upon Carbon38—a new-to-me e-tailer that has the absolute coolest selection of activewear (umm, hello, look at THESE). After falling in love with the brand for their workout gear, I happened to notice that they also have some amazing pieces that would work for a ski trip—especially a bunch of pieces with the form and function to wear on and off the slopes. With an upcoming trip to Breckenridge on the calendar, I decided to give their ski-friendly activewear a try and am so glad I did. These Carbon38 pieces got me through a super cold, snow-filled weekend and then some.

This grey hoodie has the coolest, comfiest webbed thumbhole sleeve extensions that fit perfectly into their windproof gloves. I somehow forgot a scarf one morning on the slopes (I know, HOW?!) and I was able to pull up the hood and wear it under my hat and helmut, tightening the drawstrings which brought the mock neck comfortably up over the lower portion of my face. In the brutal cold of that morning, it absolutely saved me!

You guys. This vest. After wearing the hoodie and leather vest on day one, I didn’t think it could get better. Yet another multi-tasker, this puffer vest might’ve just been my favorite piece of the bunch—which is really saying something. The chevron design makes for a slimmer take on the traditional puffer vest, featuring mesh insets between each panel. It provided the most wonderful extra layer of warmth under my parka (essential for how brutally cold it was!) while maintaining a level of breathability that kept me from turning into a sweaty mess while skiing.

Per the images above, you can see that the puffer vest also looks great off the slopes with jeans and a t-shirt. One of the best features of this beauty is the fact that it comes with a tiny little case and the entire vest can be packed down into basically one cubic centimeter. Ok, that’s a slight exaggeration, but for someone committed to a carryon, this packability feature alone made the vest an epic win.

Even the quality of their basic compression leggings really knocked my socks off—serving as an amazing layer underneath my ski pants (just wait ’til you see the rest of their leggings below!). I’ve got my eye on their bodysuits too (how sick is this one?!) for my next trip which I think would make for the comfiest base layer. And if that wasn’t enough to wet your appetite, get a load of these suckers:And now for all the outfit deets…
