Meer informatieWhat 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!

- 20,000 mm HIPE® ACE, fully seam sealed
- Cordura® reinforcement at the lower legs
- Snow gaiters plus snow skirt snap-in loops
- No insulation: needs a layer underneath
- Relaxed cut, not a close-fitting shell pant
- Half-leg vents only, no full side zips
The Peak Performance Vertec HIPE® 3L Shell Pants Women are uninsulated, three-layer waterproof ski pants built for full resort and all-mountain days in changeable winter weather. The HIPE® ACE membrane is rated at 20,000 mm water column and 20,000 g/m²/24h, and every seam is sealed. What sets them apart is the relaxed cut combined with resort hardware: snow gaiters, Cordura® reinforced lower legs and loops for the snap-in snow skirt system of a matching ski jacket.
Who are these ski pants for?
These are for a skier who is out from first to last lift, moves between groomers and off-piste, and wants a shell that keeps working in wet snow and wind. The relaxed cut leaves room for a base layer and, in deep cold, an insulating layer underneath. They are not the right choice if you want a close-fitting, streamlined silhouette, or if you count grams on fast-and-light ski tours — a 70D face fabric and a roomy cut carry more bulk than a minimal touring shell.
How waterproof are the Vertec HIPE® 3L Shell Pants?
The three-layer construction pairs a 70D midweight woven face with a 100% polyurethane HIPE® ACE membrane, rated 20,000 mm and 20,000 g/m²/24h, and is fully seam sealed. In practice that means sitting in wet snow, riding a chairlift in sleet and skiing in wind without water pushing through. Half-leg zippered ventilation lets you dump heat on warm spring days.
Which size should you choose?
The cut is relaxed through the hip, thigh and lower leg, with articulated legs and snow gaiters that sit over ski boots. Sizes run from XS to XL. Check the size chart on this page and measure your usual trouser size; if you plan to wear an insulated pant underneath, allow for that layer.
Construction, use and care
What is HIPE® ACE and how is the pant built?
HIPE® is Peak Performance's own membrane. In the Vertec HIPE® 3L Shell Pants Women it appears as HIPE® ACE, a 100% polyurethane membrane bonded into a three-layer laminate: a 70D midweight woven face in 100% polyamide, the membrane, and a woven 100% polyester backer carrying a P-logo print. The three parts work as one fabric, so there is no loose lining to shift or stick when you pull the pants over ski boots. All seams are taped, closing the holes the stitching makes, and a water repellent treatment on the face fabric keeps the outer layer from wetting out. That treatment is made without intentionally added PFAS.
Are these shell pants suitable for resort and off-piste skiing?
Resort and all-mountain skiing is the core use. Snow gaiters with anti-slip elastic seal the hem around the boot, Cordura® reinforcement takes the abuse of edges and crampon-free boot buckles at the ankle, and the loops at the leg connect to the snow skirt snap-in system of a matching ski jacket so snow cannot travel upwards in deep days. Two zippered hand pockets and a zippered pocket with a transceiver loop handle gear; velcro straps at the waistband, belt loops and internal suspender loops set the waist. For freeride and lift-accessed high-alpine days the Vertec HIPE® 3L Shell Pants Women do the same job. Where they stop: ventilation is half-leg only, so on a long skinning climb you cannot open the leg end to end the way full side zips allow, and the RECCO® reflector plus transceiver loop are search aids, not a replacement for a transceiver, shovel and probe.
What are the Vertec HIPE® 3L Shell Pants made of and how do you wash them?
The shell is a polyamide face with a polyester backer and a polyurethane membrane; a second shell panel is 100% polyester and the lining is 100% polyamide. Synthetics in this weight class hold up well to boot buckles, ski edges and repeated washing. Wash the Peak Performance Vertec HIPE® 3L Shell Pants Women at 40 °C with similar colours, with the zippers closed and no fabric softener — softener coats the face fabric and flattens the water repellency. Tumble dry on low afterwards; the heat reactivates the water repellent treatment, which is why a washed pant often beads better than a dirty one. Do not bleach, do not iron and do not dry clean.
What does the Vertec line do for sustainability?
These pants are made without intentionally added PFAS, so the water repellent finish does not rely on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances.
