Following the success of last year’s Max Palm signature kit, which sold out in hours, Peak Performance are releasing another stylish blend of fashion and utility.
Following the success of last year’s Max Palm signature kit, which sold out in hours, Peak Performance are releasing another stylish blend of fashion and utility.
Inspired by the Freeride World Tour rider’s relaxed ski style, the Ridge Ace by WeiTien Ho combines Peak Performances premium weatherproof technology with rounded cut lines, tonal colour pallet and bespoke detailing. Together, Peak and WeiTien set out to create a set that performs as good as it looks; balancing technical performance, unrestricted mobility (translation: it’s baggy) and distinctive style.
“Silhouette is important,” explains WeiTien. “When I feel good, I perform even better. From the beginning, this collaboration was about creating a freeride fit that offers complete freedom of movement while not sacrificing technical quality. To make sure it performed exactly as intended, I wore the set throughout last season on the Freeride World Tour, putting it through a full season of competition. The final result? A kit I can trust to perform at the highest level, whatever the mountain throws at me.”
At the core of the Ridge Ace’s makeup is Peak’s HIPE ACE 3L membrane that boast 20k/20k waterproofing and breathability for uncompromising weather protection. As always, Peak have left nothing wanting when packing this stylish set with backcountry features. Both the jacket and bib pants have integrated RECCO, a host of useful stash pockets, waterproof zips and ripstop material. The jacket has a helmet compatible hood with two-way adjustment for the gorpcore, a removable powder skirt and bags of zipped ventilation. The bib pants have an integrated transceiver loop, mesh phone pocket and half-leg ventilation zips.
