It’s that wonderful time of year. Fires are crackling, mince pies are cooking and we’re all buying our nearest and dearest some goodies to open on Christmas morning. For those of us who love skiing and snowboarding however, December shopping isn’t all about Christmas lists and presents, it also means that it’s finally time to get ourselves ready for the slopes and buy this year’s snow gear.

Nikita is a brand that any female mountain lover worth their salt will know. From their humble beginnings in the back of a skate shop, they’ve grown up to be one of the most authentic and badass female snow brands out there. From their streetwear to their most technical items, there’s a piece of Nikita gear for whatever adventure you’re on.

We’ve been having a scroll through the brand’s latest line and have picked out our favourites. Whether it’s for a present for someone else, or just a treat for yourself, this gear deserves a place on everyone’s Christmas list…
