Men’s ski jacket buying guide: kit tailored to your needs
Warm piste skiing jacket
When skiing in resorts, your trousers and ski jacket need good insulation so you don’t get cold on the descents, as well as on the lifts where exposure to the wind can sometimes feel absolutely freezing.
Freeride ski jacket
Off-piste, whether you’re into backcountry freestyle or freeriding, a ski outfit that is both warm and highly waterproof is essential. Your jacket, just like your ski or snowboard trousers, must allow you to move through deep powder without moisture getting in.
Lightweight ski touring jacket
For ski touring and splitboarding, given the sustained physical activity on the ascent, it’s best to opt for a ski outfit that doesn’t necessarily need to be insulated. Protection from the cold on the descent will come from combining a base layer such as technical underwear, a mid-layer like a fleece or down jacket and, worn as the outer layer, a ski jacket that is waterproof, windproof and breathable.
Gore-Tex and other types of waterproof membranes
What are the advantages of a men’s Gore-Tex ski jacket?
Who hasn’t heard of Gore-Tex? A staple in the outdoor world, the American brand Gore-Tex is recognised for its effectiveness when it comes to weather protection, with various types of membranes: Gore-Tex, Gore-Tex Pro, Gore-Tex Paclite and Paclite Plus, Gore-Tex ShakeDry, Gore-Tex Active, Gore-Tex Surround, and more. The most recent, the Gore Tex Infinium membrane, is the only one that is not waterproof. It is exclusively windproof. But apart from this latest membrane, Gore-Tex is clearly synonymous with textile waterproofing. It is therefore no surprise that most manufacturers of ski jackets use Gore Tex waterproof-breathable membranes. Others, however, have developed their own membrane or fabric, showing plenty of ingenuity in terms of waterproof performance and breathability. This is notably the case for Millet, but also Patagonia, Burton, Picture Organic Clothing, Columbia, and others.
Are Millet, Burton, Columbia, Picture and Patagonia ski jackets just as protective?
Whether fitted with a Gore-Tex membrane or another type of membrane, the key benefit of a waterproof-breathable ski jacket is its ability to protect you from external moisture as well as internal moisture. Perspiration, if it is not wicked away, can quickly cause a chilling sensation that may become extremely unpleasant. To prevent internal moisture from spoiling your time in the mountains, waterproof-breathable membranes, made with micro-perforations, allow sweat vapour to escape from the inside to the outside, while stopping larger water molecules from entering. Innovation in textile technology enables brands to design ski outfits suited to the needs of different users. Membranes therefore offer varying levels of waterproofness. They also provide different degrees of breathability.
Choosing the right ski or snowboard jacket
As mentioned above, waterproofness and breathability are two criteria you need to consider when making your choice. If you only do recreational piste skiing in resorts and your mountain holiday alternates between ski lifts and casual descents, there’s no need to opt for an ultra-waterproof 3-layer Gore-Tex shell. This type of ski coat, however, is perfectly suited to freetouring, ski mountaineering or splitboarding enthusiasts. If you enjoy digging around in the snow to shape kickers before sending all kinds of tricks, make sure your men’s ski parka is adapted to your discipline, without being too heavily insulated so you avoid overheating.
Insulation is also an important point, but it should not necessarily be too high, otherwise you may regret getting too warm, which would not be comfortable at all. To avoid discomfort, we recommend following the 3-layer principle: first, a technical base layer worn next to the skin, then a fleece, and finally, as the outer layer, a ski jacket. As a mid-layer, you can also go for a lightweight insulated jacket or a natural down jacket for very cold days at high altitude.
With ski or snowboard parkas featuring Polartec, PrimaLoft, Thinsulate or other insulation, you may be able to do without the mid-layer if you don’t feel the cold too much or when mild weather conditions allow. Be careful, however, not to underdress and get chilled on the chairlifts. The wind can sometimes make an appearance across the ski area and leave you bitterly regretting not bringing the right layers.
In any case, make sure you don’t wear a cotton T-shirt under your high-performance ski jacket. Cotton is very good at absorbing moisture but unfortunately dries very slowly. If your T-shirt becomes wet under the arms or across the back due to perspiration, it will give you a very unpleasant cold feeling. Cotton is simple: avoid it!
Key features of different men’s ski coat brands
Beyond waterproofness, breathability and insulation, simply browsing the men’s ski jacket section reveals a wealth of technical features that set one model apart from another. While some brands have developed their own textile materials and technologies, they all offer specific details that make their ski jackets unique. With Picture Organic Clothing, for example, we appreciate the pockets designed to keep your smartphone dry, as well as the inner pockets with a microfleece goggle wipe.
We can also see that certain technical details have become widespread across almost all manufacturers in just a few years. This is the case with lift pass pockets located on the forearm. They save you from having to search for your magnetic card every time you pass through the ski lift gates. Some ski jackets are also fitted with a powder skirt to prevent fresh snow from getting in around the hips.
You now have a huge choice of men’s ski jackets made by brands such as Rossignol, Helly Hansen, Sun Valley, Superdry, Volcom, Burton, Colmar, Scott, and more.
