Good to know
Explained briefly
If you want to dig deeper
Knowledge
How much water column does a ski jacket need?
10,000 mm is usually enough for days on the piste. If you often ski in snowfall or spend time in deep snow, choose 20,000 mm and look for taped seams. The figure describes the fabric; it is listed for the model if the manufacturer provides it.
Insulated or shell?
If you quickly get cold on the lift, choose an insulated jacket. A shell provides no warmth of its own: you wear whatever the day requires underneath and feel less restricted while skiing. Insulation tells you how much material is inside, not down to what temperature the jacket will keep you warm.
Which features matter on a day skiing?
- A snow skirt keeps snow off your back when you fall or ski in deep snow.
- Ventilation zips let heat out when you are working hard.
- A ski pass pocket on the sleeve or chest saves you searching at the gate.
- A helmet-compatible hood fits over your helmet.
How do you check the fit?
- Try the jacket on with the layer you plan to wear underneath.
- Raise your arms. The hem should not ride up, and the sleeves should cover your wrists.
- Buy children's jackets according to height. Jackets that are too large let snow in at the sleeves and hem.
Frequently asked questions
Is a rain jacket enough for skiing?
It may be enough for individual days with a warm layer underneath. But it often lacks a snow skirt and ski pass pocket. On the piste, a ski jacket gives you better protection.
What is the difference between a ski jacket and a freeride jacket?
Freeride jackets are usually shells with a high water column rating and taped seams, because you get more snow on you in deep snow and move around more. Piste jackets are more often insulated because you sit on the lift for longer.
Do I need a separate jacket for ski touring?
On long climbs, the main things are breathability and low weight. That is what ski touring jackets are designed for. They are not included in this buying advice.
