Great shell jacket and ski pants for all conditions
I took the Obsidian jacket and pants out to Norway for a week and put them through everything: driving wind, heavy rain, full blizzard conditions and the odd clear, cold day. They handled it all with ease. I stayed dry in persistent wet weather, well protected in strong winds, and comfortable across a wide range of temperatures thanks to good ventilation and layering space.
I went for a large, as the medium felt a bit tight, and that proved the right call with enough room for layers without feeling bulky.
Build quality is excellent for the price. The kit feels well made, practical and thoughtfully designed, even if a few small details could be refined. Fit is generally good, though not perfect in every area.
Overall, I’ve been genuinely impressed. At this price point, the Obsidian set offers exceptional value compared to more expensive brands, and the fact it is produced with eco considerations is a real bonus. It feels like a bit of a secret gem.
