How to choose your ski jacket

Warmth

For resort skiing, especially in the coldest months, we recommend choosing an insulated jacket that will keep you warm all day long. It’s easy to get cold when you’re at a ski resort, especially when you’re on the chairlift. A well-insulated jacket will keep you warm on the chairlift and protect you from the wind when you’re skiing fast.

There are three types of insulation:

  • Down

For those who get cold easily, goose down or duck down has unbeatable insulation qualities thanks to its lofting ability.

  •  Synthetic insulation, imitation down

Synthetic fiber insulation that mimics the structure of natural down is less expensive and more robust, especially in wet weather. This makes synthetic insulation a good alternative to down.

  •  Synthetic fabric insulation

Compact synthetic fabric insulation is a more economical and more durable system, but it doesn’t pack down as small as down or synthetic down and it doesn’t insulate as well. The insulating ability of synthetic insulation depends on the quality and density of the fibers used, which is measured in grams/meter2. 

80 g/m2: lightweight jacket
100 g/m2: typical, multi-purpose jacket
120 g/m2: very warm jacket

When you’re freeriding or ski touring in the backcountry you move more and work harder so we recommend you dress according to the 3-layer system. Another group who will benefit from this system are those who ski regularly throughout the entire season and will be able to easily adapt their clothing to the day’s weather conditions.
