What Is an Insulated Ski Jacket and What Are the Options?
An insulated ski jacket is essential for anyone seeking warmth and comfort while skiing or snowboarding. The insulation helps maintain your body temperature, even in the harshest conditions. There are different types of insulation, each with its own advantages. In this guide, we explain the differences so you can make the perfect choice.
Down Insulation: Lightweight and Extremely Warm
A jacket insulated with down is the ideal choice for those looking for maximum warmth without sacrificing comfort. Down provides excellent insulation and is very lightweight, making it perfect for cold, dry conditions. However, keep in mind that down performs less well in wet conditions unless the jacket has been specially treated to resist moisture.
Wool Insulation: Natural and Breathable
Jackets with wool insulation offer a natural alternative. Wool is not only warm but also breathable and retains heat even when damp. This option is ideal for those who prefer natural materials and comfort in varying weather conditions.
Synthetic Insulation: Versatile and Low-Maintenance
Synthetic insulation, such as PrimaLoft or Thinsulate, offers excellent warmth and performs well in wet conditions. This option is often slightly heavier than down but dries quickly and is easier to care for. It’s ideal for active winter sports enthusiasts who value versatility and affordability.
Why Choose an Insulated Ski Jacket?
-
Optimal Warmth: Protect yourself against extreme cold.
-
Comfort During Activity: Maintain your freedom of movement without sacrificing insulation.
-
Suitable for Various Weather Conditions: Whether you're skiing in powder snow or braving a cold wind, an insulated jacket adapts to your needs.
Which Insulation Suits You Best?
The right insulation depends on your personal preferences and the conditions in which you’ll wear the jacket. Looking for ultimate warmth and comfort? Go for down. Need a versatile, low-maintenance option? Consider synthetic materials. Or choose wool for a natural feel.
Our premium ski jackets combine functionality, style, and top quality, so you can fully enjoy your winter sports adventure. Explore our collection and find your perfect insulated ski jacket!

- Polartec Power Grid, 166 g/m2, dries fast
- Stretch hood sized to fit under a helmet
- Thumb holes plus three zipped pockets
- No membrane: needs a shell in wind and rain
- Close fit, little room for a thick layer under
- Only offered in M, L and XL
The Norrøna falketind Power Grid Zip Hood is a men's grid fleece mid layer made from Polartec Power Grid: a 166 g/m2 knit of 85% recycled polyester and 15% elastane, with a jersey grid structure on the inside. It is built for moving uphill — all-year mountaineering, ski touring, hiking — worn under a shell or on its own in dry weather. The close-fitted stretch hood is sized to sit under a helmet, which is what sets this fleece apart from a plain zip-neck.
Who is the falketind Power Grid Zip Hood for?
This is a layer for a mountaineer or ski tourer who already owns a hardshell and wants something light, stretchy and fast-drying underneath it while working hard. It is not a weather layer: with no membrane, it gives no rain protection, and a grid fleece is air-permeable, so exposed ridges still call for a shell. It is also not the piece for standing still in the cold — long chairlift days and belay stops ask for an insulated jacket instead.
How warm is the Power Grid fleece?
Warmth here is modest and deliberate. At 166 g/m2 the Polartec Power Grid fabric sits in the light-to-mid-weight fleece range: the raised grid on the inside holds a thin layer of air against your baselayer, while the channels between the blocks move moisture out and dump heat on a climb. The 15% elastane means the fabric stretches with you rather than binding across the shoulders.
Which size should you choose?
The Norrøna falketind Power Grid Zip Hood has a technical, close fit, cut slightly longer at the back so it stays covered when you bend forward over poles or bars. Plan it over a baselayer, not over a thick midlayer — there is little room for bulk underneath. Available in M, L and XL; check the size chart on this page against your chest measurement before ordering.
How is the Norrøna falketind Power Grid Zip Hood constructed?
The whole garment is built from one fabric: Polartec Power Grid, 85% recycled polyester and 15% elastane at 166 g/m2, knitted with a jersey grid structure on the interior. There is no lining and no membrane. The grid blocks hold air for warmth, the recessed channels between them carry sweat vapour away from the skin and let the fleece dry quickly, and the elastane keeps the knit moving with the body. The front closes with a 4 mm soft zipper, chosen so the slider and tape stay low-profile under a shell. Elastic cuffs with thumb holes work as integrated hand gaiters, keeping the sleeve anchored over the wrist when you pull a jacket on over the top.
Is the falketind Power Grid Zip Hood suitable for ski touring?
Yes — it is one of the clearest uses for it. On the skin track, the Norrøna falketind Power Grid Zip Hood works as the layer you climb in: light, stretchy, and able to shed moisture fast so you are not putting on a cold, damp fleece at the transition. The stretch hood pulls up under a helmet for wind on the shoulder of a climb. It also covers trekking, hiking and mountain biking for the same reason. Where it stops is weather and standstill: rain, wet snow or sustained precipitation need a waterproof shell over the top, strong wind on open terrain cuts straight through an air-permeable grid fleece, and a long descent in deep cold needs insulation this fabric does not provide.
What is it made of and how do you look after it?
The main fabric is 85% recycled polyester with 15% elastane. Recycled polyester keeps the fleece light and fast-drying and takes abrasion from pack straps and harness gear well; the elastane content is what makes the knit recover its shape rather than bagging at the elbows and hood opening. Because elastane is in the blend, keep the fleece away from high heat and fabric softener — softener coats the fibres and blunts exactly the moisture transport the grid structure exists to provide. Wash it with other synthetics rather than with hook-and-loop closures, which pick at knitted face fabric.
What makes it a more sustainable choice?
The single fabric in the Norrøna falketind Power Grid Zip Hood is 85% recycled polyester, so the bulk of the garment comes from reclaimed rather than virgin fibre. A single-fabric, unlined construction also keeps the piece simple to repair, in line with the way Norrøna builds its falketind line for long service rather than a season.
