Snow Apparel for Any Condition.

When Shaun White drops a snow gear line, you don’t just shrug it off—you pay attention. The guy has more Olympic golds than most of us have matching socks, so if he says he’s making high-performance gear, we’re strapping in. Enter WHITESPACE, a brand that blends premium materials, pro-level performance, and straight-up swagger. We took the 3L Performance Pant and 3L Performance 3-in-1 Jacket into some gnarly conditions to see if they hold up—or if they’re just another overhyped pro athlete side hustle. Take a look at what are some standout aspects of this apparel line before you head out to the slopes.

Putting WHITESPACE to the Test: Our Crew Perspective

Our crew loves the outdoors- and trying new gear that hits the market. We took WHITESPACE through powder days, icy runs, and even a brutal windstorm in the slopes here in Idaho over several different days just to see if it could hang. Here’s what we found:

  • Day/Run 1: Bluebird conditions – The breathability of both the jacket and pants was a game-changer. No sweating, no overheating—just pure comfort. The pants with zipper vent capability and the Jacket with any easy zip-off inner liner makes for some fresh air flow though the right parts of the apparel on a warm day.

  • Day 3: Blizzard mode – The 3-layer waterproofing worked like a fortress. We stayed bone-dry while others were soaked through in what looked like cheaper-no- name brands. We felt the conditions for sure but were comfy the entire trip.

  • Après & travel – This is where WHITESPACE really stands out. The sleek design didn’t make anyone look like they just walked out of a gear rental shop. It’s actually stylish enough to wear off the slopes. Sleek, Comfy, and just has a swag factor we can’t get enough of.

WHITESPACE 3L Performance Pant:

Built with a dependable 3-layer waterproof shell, the 3L Performance Pant blends articulated engineering with rider focused features into a versatile riding solution. The durable, plain weave 3L shell - made from recycled fibers - shields a highly waterproof and breathable membrane backed by a 20D brushed tricot layer for lightweight protection and unrestricted movement.

Expanding cargo pockets thoughtfully lift outwards allowing for easy access while seated and include thermal compartments for secure phone storage. Kevlar kickpads and the PAS venting ensure durability and comfort in any condition. Bemis 3L seam tape and YKK VISLON® AquaGuard® Zippers ensure reliable stormproof protection.

This style is oversized by design. Consider sizing down for a standard fit.

WHITESPACE 3L Performance Pant: Built for the Ride

WHITESPACE has mastered the balance between high-performance technical gear and street-ready aesthetics. While many brands focus purely on function, WHITESPACE ensures you look good both on and off the slopes. Whether you’re carving through powder, traveling through the airport, or heading straight to après, this gear transitions effortlessly.

Concealed chest zippers provide PAS® venting to quickly regulate heat and moisture during high intensity activities.

Bemis® 3L seam tape and YKK VISLON® AquaGuard® Zippers ensure reliable stormproof protection. Advanced shoulder articulation allows for unrestricted movement, while the helmet-compatible hood provides full mobility and coverage.
