Planks Men’s Good Times Insulated Jacket Review
I have to admit when I heard Planks was sending over a purple jacket for me to test, it was definitely outside my usual colour pallet (I’m normally a black or grey ski gear guy, boring I know!). However, the colour immediately grew on me and I was convinced I was supposed to wear purple all my ski life. The ‘Steep Purple’ colour isn’t too in your face and is certainly stylish. It was definitely a testament to the design when people said “that actually suits you Pete!”, not normally a comment I get for my usual ski outfits.
It’s not just the style and look that is impressive about this jacket. The technology and fabric used, makes this a very versatile jacket. It is enhanced with recycled stretchy RideDry15 fabric and lightweight insulation. Fantastic in cold weather and it feels lightweight to wear too. There are also plenty of handy pockets, which are super useful for me with various cameras, chapstick, lift passes, Ski Club membership card, snacky snacks, phone, plus my hopes and dreams to be stored on my person.
I have worn this jacket in several different weather conditions this season and it hasn’t let me down in any of them. Whether it was -20 bluebird day in Tignes or sadly rain in La Clusaz, the Good Times jacket has kept me warm and dry throughout. It even doubles up as a good après jacket or one for those cold UK mornings to work. I have loved wearing it and has now become my main jacket that I will wear for future seasons (hopefully less rain and more snow in the future!).
Planks Men’s Good Times Insulated Jacket is available on Planks’ online store for £203 at the time of writing. Don’t forget to use your Ski Club discount to get a further discount this winter!

Planks Women’s All-time Insulated Jacket Review
I used to swear by my trusty pullover, but ever since I got my hands on the Planks Women’s All Time Jacket in Brush Sage Green, I’ve been converted. This jacket has quickly become my go-to for all my outdoor adventures. The sage green colour is not only stylish but also surprisingly versatile, blending with my existing wardrobe, making it perfect for on and off the mountain!
What really sets this jacket apart is its functionality. Made with high-quality materials and thoughtful design, it offers both warmth, protection, and plenty of useful pockets. The lightweight insulation and durable fabric make it perfect for chilly days on the slopes or those recent Spring-like days.
During a recent ski trip, I received countless compliments on my jacket, and now a couple of friends from the trip are eager to get their hands on one too. Its practicality, combined with its fashionable appearance, makes it a hit and as a Ski Club Member you can receive 15% off.
Overall, I couldn’t be happier with this jacket. The Planks Women’s All Time Jacket has exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable and stylish outer layer for their next trip to the mountains.
