Kids' Insulated Jackets

On a tour or a freeride day, the insulated jacket is the warm layer for every break. For kids, it has to go on without help and cope with snow, sweat and growth spurts.

Key points

  • Synthetic copes with sweat and snow and dries faster than down.
  • One size up fits over the shell and often lasts into the next winter too.
  • A big zip with a pull tab that kids can work with gloves on.
  • Up to age seven, no cords at hood or collar, in line with EN 14682.

What to look for

QuestionIn shortWhy
Down or synthetic?In shortUsually syntheticWhyKids sit in the snow and sweat in bursts. Synthetic keeps warming then and usually handles the washing machine well. Down suits older kids who pack carefully.
Which size?In shortTry it over the shellWhySizes go by height in cm. Over the shell, your child should be able to raise both arms without the back riding up.
Will it hold up?In shortA sturdy outer fabricWhyEdges, skins and lift bars rub the fabric. Ultralight fabrics are thin and tear more easily on ski edges.
Does it need a hood?In shortYes, over the helmetWhyThe helmet usually stays on at the top. The hood should fit over it without blocking the view to the side.

Frequently asked questions

Does a child need their own insulated jacket on tour?

Yes, as soon as they walk themselves and take breaks. Kids cool down faster than adults when standing still. Pack the jacket and pull it over the shell at every stop.

How big can the jacket be?

Big enough to fit over the shell while your child can still ski well. Sleeves hanging over the gloves get in the way of the poles. Velcro cuffs can be tightened.

Fleece or insulated jacket?

A fleece is hard-wearing and breathes well but barely warms in wind. The insulated jacket holds more warmth on breaks and packs smaller. A good pairing: fleece for walking, insulated jacket for stops.

How do I wash a synthetic jacket?

As the label says, usually with a mild detergent and no softener. Let it dry, in the tumble dryer only if the label allows. The fill then lofts again.
