Each of the nine pieces in the collection is inspired by Luke Skywalker’s iconic Star Wars flight suit. The collection includes several key pieces that feature Columbia’s Omni Heat technology, which ensures they are ready to perform. The garments look more like performance pieces than costume designs, which outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate.
Matt Merriman, VP Brand Development and Partnerships of Columbia Skis spoke to the Columbia x Star Wars Skywalker Pilot Ski Collection. “This partnership balances Star Wars with Columbia’s performance and durability.” This is not a costume replica. Instead, our team took the iconic Luke Skywalker flight suit as inspiration and designed a collection of fully-equipped skis that can withstand any weather conditions. This mashup is what we find most interesting. They are both beautiful and functional”.
