The unresolved dilemma: jacket set vs. onesie
While the science world is tackling many significant mysteries, our winter team is determined to figure out which is more comfortable: the traditional snow jacket and pants set, or the one-piece suit, a.k.a. a onesie.
The Test Equipment
To deliver the best results possible, we selected some of the best sellers for this season - Picture Seen jacket, Picture Seen pants, and in the opposition - Picture Xena onesie.
Our criteria
Apparently, Picture Organic has addressed the essential dilemma with breathability, waterproofness, and warmth index.
That is why we focused on snow-entry level, coolness level, and practicality.
The Results
Being absolutely technically flawless, both the Seen set and the Xena onesie were hard to criticize in any way.
Generally, contrary to common perception, the jacket set and the onesie are equally good at preventing snow from entering due to the locking system of the jacket and the pants.
In terms of practicality, you might say that taking off a jacket at the Apres ski is way easier than taking off half of your onesie and tying it to your waist.
However, the inbuilt straps of the onesie help keep it in place even when halfway down.
Then it all comes down to the level of coolness. Skiing and snowboarding down in a one-piece is always a head-turner.
The advantage of a jacket set is that you can change the jacket or pants once you get bored with the combo.
So actually, it all comes down to your personal taste, because technical- and performance-wise, both the set and the onesie are top-notch.
