What is the overall theme behind your FW 21/22 outerwear range? From which big trends do you take your inspiration?
Offering unrivalled femininity, innovative technology and considered eco-practices, there is no better way to enjoy the ride than with ROXY Mountain wear. ROXY is the first Action Sports brand exclusively dedicated to Women. Since 1990, we have been inspired by the Mountain & Wave and the communities that surround them. ROXY Girls are pioneers, defying the status quo, living with innate confidence & freedom. Our products strike the balance between Style, Femininity, Performance & Sustainability.

There are three main themes in our snow products range:

Comfort: Industry-leading, exclusive technologies are built into every garment to ensure women can ride in unbound comfort.

Sustainability: With mountain preservation in mind, we consider recycled & naturally sourced materials, water input, limited energy usage & decreased eco-toxicity in each design choice.

Style: ROXY design & fits are specifically tailored for women and for movement. Our unparalleled breadth of styles ensure we meet the needs of all riders.
