Where do you usually ski? We'll find what suits you. Start the advisor › · Tips on choosing and care in our guide ↓
Ski school
For ski school, choose a padded ski jacket with 10,000 mm, a snow skirt and reflectors. A ski pass pocket on the sleeve saves searching at the lift.
- 10,000 mm or more
- Snow skirt
- Reflectors
Very cold
For very cold, dry days, a down jacket fits. Down is very warm for little weight but loses warmth when wet.
- Down
- High collar
- Snow skirt
Toddlers
For toddlers, a one-piece snowsuit is often more practical than a jacket and pants: no snow gets down the back when they fall over and play.
- One piece
- No snow down the back
- Sized by height in cm
Cooler days
Try the garment on with the layer you will wear underneath. Move your arms and bend your knees: the garment should stay in place without restricting movement.
- Room for a layer
- Free movement
- Secure fit

What to look for when buying
| Question | In brief | Why |
|---|---|---|
| What waterproof rating does it need? | In brief10,000 mm or more | WhyKids sit in the snow, fall over and build snowmen. A 10,000 mm rating handles that, and taped seams keep the seams watertight too. |
| Which size should I buy? | In briefBy height | WhyKids' sizes match height in centimetres: size 128 fits children around 128 cm tall. Measure without shoes and go up a size if your child is in between. |
| What matters about the hood? | In briefNo cords | WhyUnder EN 14682, clothing for children up to 7 years, or size 134, has no cords at the hood and neck. A detachable hood stays out of the way under the helmet. |
Frequently asked questions
How much bigger should the jacket be?
Just enough for a fleece underneath and for the sleeves to cover the wrists with arms stretched out. A jacket that is too big lets snow into the sleeves and hem and gets in the way when skiing.
What should my child wear under the ski jacket?
Next to the skin, synthetic or merino ski underwear, with a fleece on top on cold days. Cotton stays wet, and your child gets cold during breaks.
Does the hood fit over the helmet?
Many kids' ski jackets have a detachable hood or one big enough for a helmet. On the piste, your child wears the helmet without the hood underneath. The hood is for lifts and breaks.
How do I wash a kids' ski jacket?
Follow the care label, usually 30 or 40 °C with a little liquid detergent and no fabric softener. Close all zips and hook-and-loop fastenings first. Heat in the tumble dryer revives the water-repellent finish, if the label allows it.
