Enjoy the thrill of the slopes with a waterproof and breathable technical jacket. Whether it rains or snows, this little marvel of technology will keep you warm and dry all day long.

The ideal jacket for alpine skiing

Essential for your comfort, your skiing wear must allow you to make the most of your time on the slopes without restricting your freedom of movement. On the slopes, given the alternation between descents and chairlift rides often exposed to the wind, we recommend choosing a ski jacket with excellent insulation against the cold.

The importance of membranes

A ski coat must be built around a waterproof and breathable membrane to protect you from moisture while regulating your body heat. Whether it’s a snowboard jacket, an alpine ski coat or a touring model, it should be insulating, waterproof and breathable. That way, whatever happens on the slopes and whatever the weather – wind, rain or snow – you’ll stay warm and dry all day long.

Gore-Tex technology

The days are gone when parkas kept out the rain but trapped heat inside. The secret lies in the type of membrane each jacket uses. The most famous of all is undoubtedly Gore-Tex, which introduced the first micro-perforated Teflon-based fabric. By precisely controlling the size of the pores in the material, Gore-Tex discovered the secret to the perfect ski garment. Water droplets from outside are too large to pass through the micro-perforations, while warm, moist air molecules can escape. Another advantage of this technology is that it makes the fabric windproof.

Other types of membranes

In recent years, leading ski and outdoor clothing brands have developed their own waterproof and breathable membranes, some of which are just as effective as Gore-Tex. For instance, Picture has widely adopted its Dryplay membranes across nearly all its ski and snowboard jackets. Whether you’re riding on groomed slopes or in powder, you can be sure of staying protected and dry. Glisshop therefore offers a selection of jackets with waterproof and breathable membranes.

What are the benefits of a women’s snowboard jacket?

Different manufacturers combine technologies to shield you from wind, snow, sleet and rain.

If you’re a snowboarder, you should choose a jacket suited to your discipline. On groomed runs, an insulated and waterproof model is essential. In the terrain park, opt for a breathable version, while for off-piste riding, waterproofing and breathability are key. This way, even during intense activity, your jacket allows perspiration to evaporate. While the cold stays out, your body temperature remains regulated for constant comfort.

Why not go for a matching skiing outfit?

Once you’ve chosen your jacket, you can pair it with ski trousers from the same collection. As the materials are similar, you’ll enjoy consistent protection. A complete ski outfit also has the advantage of being both chic and refined. Let’s face it – on the slopes, it’s far better to feel comfortable and confident than to be bundled up in oversized clothing that makes you look like a snowman.
