Two key indicators
A ski jacket is primarily judged by two indicators. The waterproofing, measured in millimetres of water column: ten thousand millimetres is suitable for piste skiing, fifteen to twenty thousand and above for days with wet snow and off-piste. The breathability, measured in grams of vapour expelled per square metre over twenty-four hours, prevents sweating in your jacket during effort. Taped seams complete the protection.

Two designs
The insulated jacket, filled with synthetic material, such as the Helly Hansen Alpha with its Lifaloft insulation or the Rossignol Hero, keeps you warm without an additional layer: ideal for piste skiing. The shell, without insulation, like the Helly Hansen Sogn Shell or the Rab Downpour, is paired with a fleece and a baselayer depending on the temperature: the three-layer system, popular in hiking and off-piste. Helly Hansen, a Norwegian brand founded in 1877, is a reference.
Details that matter
A good ski jacket includes a snow skirt, which prevents snow from entering during falls, a pocket for the ski pass on the sleeve, a hood compatible with the helmet and ventilation under the arms. The brands Protest, Dare 2B, Spyder, Karpos, CMP and Peak Mountain offer these features. It should be washed with a technical detergent, then the water repellency is reactivated with a gentle tumble dry.

Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between an insulated ski jacket and a shell?
An insulated jacket has synthetic or down filling that keeps you warm without an extra layer, ideal for the piste. The shell, without insulation, protects against wind and water and is layered over warm layers for off-piste.
How do you wash a ski jacket?
In the machine at thirty degrees, with a liquid detergent for technical fabrics and no softener, which would clog the membrane's pores. Gentle drying, if the label allows, will then reactivate the water repellent treatment.
What size ski jacket should I choose?
You should take your usual size while ensuring there's room for a base layer and a fleece. With arms extended forward, the sleeves should cover the wrists, and the jacket should protect the lower back when bent.
What is the purpose of the snow skirt on a ski jacket?
This elasticated band, sewn inside, closes around the waist and prevents snow from riding up under the jacket during falls or in powder. Some are designed to clip to the trousers for complete protection.
Which ski jackets are the warmest?
Jackets with thick insulation, either down or synthetic, combined with a windproof membrane, provide the best warmth. For cold skiers, a helmet-compatible hood and adjustable cuffs enhance protection.
