Kappa engineers gear for US Ski & Snowboard athletes with THERMOLITE® insulation
Dec 19, 2025
When the US Ski & Snowboard team hits the slopes during the 2026 winter season, they’ll be decked out in gear crafted with THERMOLITE® insulation — and consumers can get their hands on the cozy ski jackets and snow pants, too.
Kappa, the iconic Italian sportswear brand, is the official apparel partner of the US Ski & Snowboard Federation, outfitting the athletes in outerwear, speed, and race suits through the 2032 season. But you don’t have to be a pro athlete to get your hands on the gear.
Lucky shoppers have access to a full range of Kappa’s high-performance technical apparel and accessories, from hats and goggles to coats and pants, emblazoned with the Team USA logo. Like Team USA’s gear, many of the collection’s outerwear pieces are engineered with THERMOLITE® insulation for lightweight warmth that won’t weigh you down.
STAY WARM, NO MATTER WHAT
THERMOLITE® insulation is crafted from more than 85% recycled materials, including recycled PET bottles and textile waste. It meets the industry’s highest standards for lightweight warming without bulk, provides good breathability, and dries faster than down insulation. Just what every outdoor athlete or enthusiast needs.
Whether you’re cheering on your team or carving down the slopes, experience the perfect blend of comfort and style with this collection.
The GARA collection — the Italian word for “race” — captures the energy and spirit of the US Ski & Snowboard team, known for its legendary athletes and multi-medalists. Each eye-catching piece has been thoughtfully designed with personality and pop, featuring details such as bold prints and bright colors. And performance elements, including THERMOLITE® insulation, waterproof protection, and breathable construction, lend functionality for the cold-weather season.
Expert design and craftsmanship paired with durable, reliable THERMOLITE® insulation? Golden days are ahead.
