XTM Performance
Snow & Outdoor Gear Australia

Practical layers for cold days, wet weather and time on the snow.

We stock XTM jackets, thermals, gloves, socks and winter accessories for skiing, snow trips, hiking and everyday cold-weather use. Whether you need a complete layering system or one missing piece, we can help you choose gear that suits the conditions and how active you expect to be.

About XTM Performance

XTM Performance is an Australian-owned and designed snow and outdoor brand established in 1999.

The brand began with a focus on rugged ski gloves and developed into a broader range of snow outerwear, thermal base layers, Merino clothing, socks and cold-weather accessories. Its founder, former Winter Olympian Pete Forras, drew on experience gained skiing and competing in Australian alpine conditions.

We think XTM is particularly useful for customers who want functional winter gear at an accessible price. The range covers adults and children, occasional snow visitors, regular skiers and people simply looking for reliable warmth outdoors.

That does not mean every XTM product serves the same purpose. A heavily insulated snow jacket can be too warm for active hiking. A lightweight thermal may suit movement better than stationary use. Waterproofing, insulation, breathability and fit also vary between products.

We recommend choosing according to the activity and expected weather—not just the coldest temperature printed in a forecast.

XTM GEAR FOR YOUR NEXT COLD-WEATHER TRIP

Why Offtrack Stocks XTM Performance

We stock XTM because cold-weather gear needs to work as a system—and that system should not be more complicated or expensive than the trip requires.

For many customers, particularly those preparing for their first snow holiday, the challenge is knowing what to buy. A warm jacket alone will not solve poor moisture management, exposed hands or unsuitable socks. At the same time, there is little value in buying highly technical gear for conditions you are unlikely to encounter.

XTM gives us practical options across the complete layering system:

  • Base layers that manage warmth close to the skin
  • Midlayers and insulation for colder or less active periods
  • Snow jackets and pants for protection from wind, moisture and contact with snow
  • Gloves, socks, neckwear and headwear for exposed areas
  • Children’s clothing for family snow trips

We also appreciate that the range includes both Merino and synthetic thermals. Merino regulates temperature well and resists odour, making it useful for repeated wear. Synthetic layers generally dry quickly, are easier on the budget and can be a sensible choice for growing children or occasional use.

There are trade-offs. Merino requires more careful washing and can cost more. Insulated snow clothing may feel bulky away from the slopes. Waterproof ratings differ between garments, and a water-resistant casual jacket should not be treated as a technical shell.

Tell us where you are going, what you will be doing and what clothing you already own. We will help you fill the gaps without turning a straightforward winter trip into an unnecessary equipment overhaul.

Questions Adventurers Ask About XTM Performance

IS XTM PERFORMANCE GOOD FOR SNOW AND WINTER USE?

Yes—provided you choose the right product for the conditions.

XTM makes purpose-designed snow jackets, pants, gloves, thermals and accessories. However, warmth, waterproofing and breathability vary by model. A jacket suitable for resort skiing may not be the best choice for high-output hiking or more demanding backcountry travel.

Check the individual garment’s waterproof rating, seam construction, insulation, ventilation and fit before deciding.

WHAT IS XTM PERFORMANCE BEST KNOWN FOR?

XTM began with ski gloves and is now best known for accessible snow clothing, thermal base layers, Merino products and winter accessories.

Its broad range makes it particularly useful for families, occasional snow visitors and customers building a complete cold-weather setup rather than shopping for one highly specialised item.

HOW SHOULD I LAYER XTM CLOTHING?

A practical winter system normally includes:

  • A base layer to manage moisture and retain warmth
  • A midlayer or insulated layer when additional warmth is required
  • An outer layer to protect against wind, rain and snow

Avoid relying on one very heavy garment for every condition. Separate layers allow you to adjust as the weather and your activity level change.

Cotton is generally a poor base-layer choice in cold conditions because it retains moisture and can leave you colder when activity slows.

SHOULD I CHOOSE MERINO OR SYNTHETIC THERMALS?

Choose Merino when you value temperature regulation, softness and odour resistance over several days of wear. It works well for travel, skiing and lower-intensity outdoor use.

Choose synthetic thermals when fast drying, durability and a lower purchase price are priorities. They can suit active use, children and shorter trips.

Fabric weight also matters. A lighter thermal is often better during high-output activity, while a heavier layer provides more warmth when conditions are colder or movement is limited.

IS XTM PERFORMANCE SUSTAINABLE?

XTM is a certified B Corporation and publishes information about its environmental and social initiatives. Its range includes selected products using Australian Merino wool, recycled fibres and PFC-free durable water-repellent finishes.

These details are product specific. Do not assume every XTM garment uses the same materials or carries the same certifications. Check the current product information if a particular fibre, treatment or environmental standard matters to you.
