DESCENTE<\/a> has officially announced the third edition<\/strong> of its trailblazing capsule collection with alpine skiing phenomenon Marco Odermatt<\/a><\/strong>, launching October 31<\/strong> ahead of the 2025\/26 ski season<\/strong>. This new .EX Collection<\/strong>, shaped under Odermatt\u2019s direct creative supervision, merges advanced performance engineering with contemporary design. It speaks simultaneously to elite competitors and younger skiers seeking forward-thinking, fashion-driven innovation. The DESCENTE Marco Odermatt .EX Collection 2025 is poised to redefine skier expectations.<\/p>\n

Building on Unprecedented Success: A Champion\u2019s Creative Influence<\/h3>\n

Fresh from securing his fourth consecutive overall World Cup title<\/strong>, and once again sweeping Giant Slalom, Super-G, and Downhill<\/strong>, Odermatt collaborated closely with DESCENTE to elevate the capsule to its most refined iteration yet. His instincts as both an athlete and aesthetic tastemaker appear throughout the line. They are evident from the color palettes and ergonomic silhouettes to the functional features designed for all-conditions performance. It’s clear that the DESCENTE Marco Odermatt .EX Collection 2025 showcases these influences prominently.<\/p>\n

Moreover, for the first time<\/strong>, the capsule expands to include women\u2019s models<\/strong>, making the collection more inclusive and extending its appeal across the broader alpine, freestyle, and lifestyle skiing communities. This expansion highlights the inclusive vision behind the DESCENTE Marco Odermatt .EX Collection 2025.<\/p>\n

Future-Ready Design for Climate, Freestyle Culture, and Modern Lifestyle Needs<\/h3>\n

Expanded Vision for a Changing Sport<\/h3>\n

As skiing evolves, shaped by climate variability, growing freestyle influence, and shifting consumer preferences, the .EX Collection responds with versatile designs suitable for alpine racing, backcountry exploration, terrain-park creativity, and everyday winter wear. The DESCENTE Marco Odermatt .EX Collection 2025 caters to these evolving needs.<\/p>\n

S.I.O Minimum Pattern Engineering<\/h3>\n

At the heart of the outerwear lies DESCENTE\u2019s renowned S.I.O Minimum Pattern<\/strong> technology. This minimalist engineering approach drastically reduces sewn seams and eliminates unnecessary decoration. Consequently, it enhances mobility, reduces weight, increases waterproofing integrity, and delivers a streamlined, \u201csecond-skin\u201d fit that embodies functional purity.<\/p>\n

Breathing System Ventilation<\/h3>\n

The collection\u2019s standout Breathing System<\/strong> elevates temperature regulation through upper-back exhaust vents, side pit zips, and vertical front pocket vents. Together, these components create a dynamic airflow system that allows heat and humidity to escape. Meanwhile, it maintains full wind- and waterproof protection in harsh alpine environments.<\/p>\n

Precision Layering for Performance<\/h3>\n

Midlayers within the collection are engineered to pair seamlessly with outer shells. Using the innovative i2C quilting technique<\/strong>, these pieces offer superior insulation, enhanced mobility, and reduced cold spots. Meanwhile, laser-cut perforations along the back ensure breathability without compromising wind resistance.<\/p>\n

A Capsule Designed for the New Generation of Skiers<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The third Marco Odermatt \u00d7 DESCENTE<\/a> collaboration delivers a meticulously curated selection of signature pieces designed for both performance and expression. Key highlights include:<\/p>\n
