WeiTien Ho designed his own freeride kit with Peak Performance

Peak Performance handed the design reins to team rider WeiTien Ho, and the resulting WeiTien Ridge Ace Ski Jacket and Bib Pants launch this Thursday, November 12.

PEAK FW26 SKIRIDGEACE HJ 12.Jpg.Cq5Dam.Web.1200.1200

WeiTien (the 2025 Xtreme Verbier champ) was involved from early concepting through the final garment, then wore the set through a full Freeride World Tour season before signing off on it. The cut is wide and relaxed, and the kit is built on HIPE® ACE, Peak's in-house 3L, 20K/20K waterproof/breathable construction. 

“Silhouette is important,” explains WeiTien. “When I feel good, I perform even better. From the beginning, this collaboration was about creating a freeride fit that offers complete freedom of movement while not sacrificing technical quality. To make sure it performed exactly as intended, I wore the set throughout last season on the Freeride World Tour, putting it through a full season of competition. The final result? A kit I can trust to perform at the highest level, whatever the mountain throws at me.”

 

From rounded cut lines inspired by the “perfect ski turn” to the tonal colour palette and bespoke detailing, WeiTien contributed throughout the product development process - from early concepting through to the final garment. The result is a freeride ski set that balances technical performance, unrestricted mobility, and distinctive style.

 

RIDGE ACE BY WEITIEN HO: KEY FEATURES

 

  1. The Ridge Ace name reflects the kit’s purpose: outerwear engineered for long days on exposed mountain ridges, where wind, snow and rapid temperature changes are part of the terrain. At the core of the system is HIPE® ACE, Peak Performance’s highest‑performing waterproof membrane to date.

  2. The HIPE® ACE jacket and pants use Peak Performance’s trademarked 2-way HIPE® fabric for stretch, breathability, and protection against water and wind. Cut wide and relaxed, the silhouette is made for movement, with a 20,000mm waterproofing, 20,000 g/m² breathability and a 3L ripstop construction with soft tricot backer. The garments are made without intentionally added PFAS, and the face fabric contains 60% recycled polyamide.
