Oneskee Acclimate: first impressions
The Oneskee Acclimate could be an answer to a dilemma you didn’t know you had. Why faff about buying a ski jacket and separate salopettes when you could just snap up a onesie with a detachable legs?
If you get cold on the snow, want to get save time sorting your kit or if you just have a tendency to fall over a lot, Oneskee’s range of ski outfits could be your perfect ski partner.
Oneskee’s unisex Acclimate design comes in a range of colorways ranging from camouflage and leopard print to plain neutral suits, and they all feature a great hood, wide, comfortable salopette legs, plentiful well-placed pockets and are waterproofed to a hefty 20,000mm.
And if you want to swap to separates or to wear your Oneskee with jeans for apres ski, then a zip around the waist means you can lose the legs when you need to.
A great gimmick but how did they fare when we tested them for our best women’s ski jackets buying guide?

Oneskee Acclimate: on the slopes
On test we were impressed by how well the Acclimate worked both as a one-piece and as a jacket – as a ski suit, they definitely provide more warmth than as separates, and there’s no risk of ending up with snow stuffed up your jacket if you do take a fall.
It’s easy to zip off the legs and then you have a fully functioning waterproof jacket – ideal for warm spring skiing, when you might want to pair it with a lighter pair of salopettes.
The Oneskee is a unisex design and fits on the wide and baggy side, so you may need to try a few versions for size, and petite skiers could feel a bit swamped and may want to choose something more streamlined (although tall women will find the “regular” and “long” sizing on offer could be ideal for them).
