Freeride Collection
Carve Lines from First Chair to Last Light in the Women's Freeride Collection
Choose from a variety of fabrics, styles, and features for the women's freeride pieces that fit your day on the mountain:
The women's Freeride Collection is the slice of a broader cross-division series built around the all-mountain rider: pants that take a knee on a boot edge, hoodies that breathe under a shell, and warm accessories for the chairlift ride down. Pieces are designed to layer cleanly, move freely, and dry fast when the snow turns to slush.
Softshell Pants. Built for variable mountain conditions, the women's softshell pants in this series use 4-way stretch fabric with a DWR finish, articulated knees, and a gusseted crotch so a deep squat onto a transceiver pocket or a long traverse stays comfortable. Ripstop weaves resist tears from ski edges and pole tips, and a brushed interior takes the bite off cold mornings.
Insulated Hoodies and Vests. The series leans on brushed-interior hoodies and lightweight vests as the warm middle layer of a mountain kit. Moisture-wicking faces move sweat off the skin on the skin-track climb, while the brushed interior holds warmth on the descent. Vests trim bulk under a shell when you want core warmth without restricting the shoulders.
Performance Tops. Quick-dry tops with 4-way stretch sit close enough to layer cleanly under a shell and breathe well enough to wear alone on warmer spring tours. For a heavier baselayer day, choose a brushed-interior top from the collection.
Cold-Weather Accessories. The series rounds out with beanies and lightweight hats designed to fit under a helmet without pressure points. Soft, warm, and low-bulk, they handle everything from sitting on a chairlift to the long drive home.
If you want a sherpa-led layering kit for off-mountain cold, see our Dani Sherpa Series. For warm-weather counterparts, our summer collection covers lighter fabrics and looser cuts.
Look for signature touches across the Freeride pieces: articulated knees and gusseted crotches on the pants, brushed interiors on the hoodies, moisture-wicking faces on the tops, and ripstop reinforcement where edges and rocks hit hardest.

What is the Freeride Collection?
The women's Freeride Collection is KÜHL's all-mountain kit for skiers, snowboarders, and cold-weather riders who want pieces that layer cleanly and move with them through variable conditions. It's the women's slice of a broader cross-division series built around stretch fabrics, weather-resistant treatments, and pared-down mountain construction.
Each piece is designed to play a specific role in a mountain layering system (base, mid, shell-adjacent, accessory) rather than try to do everything at once.

What pieces are in the Freeride Collection?
The women's Freeride Collection spans five product types: pants, hoodies, vests, tops, and hats. Together they cover the full mountain kit from baselayer to outerwear-adjacent.
Softshell pants anchor the bottom of the system with 4-way stretch and a DWR finish. Brushed-interior hoodies and lightweight vests handle the warm middle layer. Quick-dry tops sit close to the skin for clean layering, and the cold-weather beanies and hats finish the kit for chair rides and cold drives home.

Who is the Freeride Collection designed for?
The Freeride Collection is designed for women who ride and hike mountains in cold seasons: resort skiers, splitboarders, backcountry tourers, snowshoers, and anyone who wants a coordinated kit for variable winter conditions. It assumes you know how layering works and want pieces that play their position rather than overdoing every feature.
If your days lean more toward studio workouts and trail runs than chairlifts, our Aktive Collection is built around that intensity instead.

What fabrics and construction details define the Freeride Collection?
The collection is built on 4-way stretch softshell, ripstop weaves, DWR finishes, and brushed-interior fleeces. Construction details follow a mountain-use brief: articulated knees and a gusseted crotch on the pants for deep range of motion, mesh ventilation where heat builds, moisture-wicking faces on the next-to-skin layers, and quick-dry treatments throughout.
Nothing is overbuilt. The point is freedom of motion through layered movement, not gear that fights you.

How does the Freeride Collection compare to KÜHL's other series?
Freeride leans cold-weather and mountain-specific, where most of our other women's series target a different season or use-case. Our Vantage Series takes a more performance-everyday angle for trail and travel, while the Aktive Collection focuses on gym and active-lifestyle pieces. Freeride is the kit you grab when the forecast says snow.
It's also more layering-system-aware than single-purpose categories. Pieces are designed to stack rather than stand alone.

What weather and conditions does the Freeride Collection handle best?
Freeride is dialed for cold, variable, and weather-exposed conditions: anywhere from 35°F down to single digits with wind, snow, and the occasional spring slush. DWR-finished softshells shed light precipitation, ripstop fabrics survive ski edges and rocks, and brushed interiors hold warmth on lift rides and descents.
For shoulder-season days, the same stretch and mobility carry over without overheating, especially in the vests and lighter tops. Seasoned outdoorswomen know the difference a coordinated mountain kit makes.
