How to choose a ski jacket?

What we recommend for skiing

First of all, it is important to choose a ski jacket that protects you from moisture, cold and bad weather without neglecting your comfort. Thus, the system of 3 layers is the most recommended:

• A first layer that must perfectly fit your body. Also called technical layer, it must allow a good transpiration and a better regulation of your temperature.
• A second layer that must be insulating to keep you warm. This intermediate jacket plays a big role in any ski practice.
• A protective layer that protects you from the elements. It must be waterproof to guarantee better protection against wind, snow or rain. It must be breathable and offer several air vents.

There are several criteria when choosing a ski jacket. The waterproofness of the fabric, the ventilation zips (to let fresh air in), the snow skirt (to avoid any snow penetration), the wrist tightenings (to avoid wind penetration through the sleeves), the zipper, the thermal lining (synthetic or natural, the choice will depend on your needs), the RECCO tag (to track you in case of an accident) and the list is not exhaustive to show you how important the choice of a ski jacket is
