SPONSORED CONTENT – Ski holidays are about more than just carving down perfect pistes. They’re also about looking and feeling great in high-performance, protective gear that makes a statement. That’s why, here at SnowTrex, we like to introduce brands that bring a breath of fresh air to the slopes. One of the most exciting names in ski fashion right now is: OOSC
What started as a fun après-ski idea between friends in 2007 turned into a bold movement on the slopes. Officially founded in the 2014/15 skiing season by two friends from the UK, Aaron McLaughlin and Nick Marsden, OOSC set out with one clear mission: bring back the unapologetic style of the 80s and 90s to the Alps and winter gems with loud prints, bold colours, and head-turning designs that make skiing fun again. And after ten years their iconic one-piece ski suits still remain the heart and soul of the brand as an ultimate expression of style on the mountain.

But OOSC isn’t only about vibrant looks. Aaron and Nick wanted to make sure, that from day one, sustainability would be woven into the very DNA of their brand. A focus, that makes sure, that OOSC is recognised today as one of the few ski clothing brands that combine retro flair with eco-conscious performance.
Sustainability with OOSC: a mission for future generations
With that, the companies Co-founder Aaron McLaughlin sums it up perfectly: “Sustainability is at the forefront of everything we do. We want future generations to enjoy the mountains just as much as we do.” But not only that, because the commitment of OOSC goes far beyond fashion. Now every product is created with the environment in mind, whether it’s recycling plastic bottles into polyester, transforming ocean waste into durable nylon, or sourcing organic cotton for streetwear. The brand believes in reducing its carbon footprint at every stage of production, without compromising on quality, comfort, or style.
How OOSC is making real impact with eco-friendly materials
Having those principles in mind, each OOSC ski suit is made from 80 to 100 recycled plastic bottles, giving plastic waste a second life in the form of durable polyester fabrics. Discarded fishing nets and other marine debris are also transformed into hard-wearing nylon, helping to clean up the oceans while ensuring strength and resilience for high quality ski wear for the slopes. To keep the whole gear water-resistant without harming the environment, OOSC is also using a sustainable, non-toxic zero Carbon Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish.
On the other hand, for streetwear and soft goods, such as hoodies and T-shirts, the brand only uses organic cotton that is GOTS-certified (Global Organic Textile Standard), which means that it’s grown without harmful pesticides and produced to the highest environmental and social standards. All textiles also carry the “OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100”-certification, ensuring that every thread, from yarn to finished product, is safe for people and the planet. The result is technical, high-performance skiwear that looks great and makes a tangible contribution to environmental protection.
OOSC makes ski wear that turns heads
From the legendary “Fresh Prince” and “Hotel California” suits to the “Shagadelic” collection, every ski wear piece from OOSC is infused with retro vibes and modern performance. From waterproof zips, taped seams, lift-pass arm pockets, underarm and leg vents, the UK brand is developing every detail with real skiers in mind. Because super-insulated fabrics keep winter sports enthusiasts warm in the coldest white-outs, while breathable venting lets in that refreshing mountain air when they need it most. And it’s not just about the slopes. OOSC also offers streetwear essentials like hoodies, t-shirts, and gilets, alongside après-ski must-haves such as retro headbands, so each customer can carry the vibe from the first chairlift ride of the day to the last mountain call of the afternoon.
Global reach and local spirit matters for OOSC
With over 50,000 ski suits sold in more than 110 countries, in just ten short years, OOSC has become a global community of skiers and snowboarders who want to stand out, with their style and for their values. Having that mindset. the brand updates its collections every year, inspired by the mountains and the après-ski lifestyle, keeping things bold, bright, and exciting. And also garners the attention of world famous brands such as the National Football League. Together with the NFL, OOSC has now set up an official, american football inspired collection, which features some of the most beloved teams like the Seattle Seahawks, Philadelphia Eagles or Las Vegas Raiders.
So what sets OOSC apart in the end? It’s the brands perfect balance of style and sustainability. Every product is built from 100 percent recycled fabrics, from plastic bottles to reclaimed fishing nets. Combine that with retro designs, vibrant colours, and technical features, and winter sports enthusiasts get ski wear that doesn’t just perform, it makes a statement.
