There is a specific, heart-pounding silence that occurs just before a skier leaves the lip of a massive jump. In that split second, the roar of the crowd at the Big Air World Cup in Tignes, France, seems to vanish. All that remains is the whistle of the wind and the sheer, unadulterated focus of an athlete about to defy gravity.
At Moss Apparel, we don’t just make clothing; we capture moments. Our Big Air Skier Graphic, Volkl skier, Moss Apparel, Unisex Hoodie is the direct result of one of those moments. Shot and designed by our founder, Robert Moss, during the 2025 Big Air World Cup, this piece is more than just a staple of outdoor lifestyle clothing. It is a piece of sports history frozen in time.
THE FROZEN MOMENT: TIGNES 2025
The Big Air World Cup is the pinnacle of freestyle skiing. Hosted in the high-altitude terrain of Tignes, France, the event brings together the world's most fearless athletes to launch themselves off 150-foot jumps, performing intricate spins and flips that seem to break the laws of physics.
Robert Moss was there on the ground (and occasionally on the slopes) with a lens focused on the high-flying action. The graphic on this hoodie features a Volkl skier caught mid-rotation, framed against the stark, beautiful backdrop of the French Alps. By translating this raw, high-speed photograph into a stylized graphic, we’ve created one of our most unique photography shirts: one that carries the energy of the World Cup into your everyday wardrobe.
ENGINEERED FOR THE ELEMENTS
We know that our community doesn't just sit on the sidelines. Whether you’re heading to the lodge after a day on the mountain or navigating a chilly morning in the city, your gear needs to perform.
The Big Air Skier Graphic, Volkl skier, Moss Apparel, Unisex Hoodie is constructed from a premium 50/50 blend of cotton and polyester. At a weight of 271 g/m², it hits the "sweet spot" for warmth: heavy enough to insulate against the alpine chill, but breathable enough for year-round wear.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:
- FABRIC: 50% Cotton, 50% Polyester preshrunk fleece knit.
- COMFORT: Air jet yarns for a softer feel and significantly reduced pilling.
- DURABILITY: Double-needle stitching at the shoulder, armhole, neck, waistband, and cuffs.
- FIT: Classic unisex fit with 1x1 rib with spandex for enhanced stretch and recovery.
- CONVENIENCE: Spacious kangaroo pouch pocket for gear or frozen hands.
By utilizing air jet yarns, we ensure that the fabric stays smooth even after multiple washes. This commitment to quality is why we consider our range to be among the most durable nature apparel available today.
BEYOND THE GRAPHIC: WEAR YOUR VALUES
At Moss Apparel, the mission is deeper than the powder in Tignes. We believe that the beauty of the natural world and the thrill of outdoor sports should be preserved for generations to come. That is why we are a conservation-first company.
