Ski jackets - plus size?

It kills me to ask this but I need some decent kit for a trip in February and I'm struggling to find anything nice in bigger sizes. Also - is stretchy ski wear a thing? Like soft shell? But not tight?

May not be exactly what you're after but friends of mine who bemoan the lack of skiwear in certain sizes often swear by mountain warehouse. Some of the kit looks nice and friends who are very technical and fussy like their pants so it must be ok!

Try dare2b , decathlon and Trespass. All do larger sizes and are good value technical products. Softshell tends not to be waterproof enough for early/mid season.

Tog24 do soft shell ski trousers. I prefer these to normal salopettes.

My ski jacket is from Strobe and it is the only one I've had that's been roomy, especially with an 'ample chest'

Ooh @SmartWatch I've been looking at them! Would you say the XL is true to the size description?
