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!

- 28,000 mm GORE-TEX PRO, fully seam-sealed
- Detachable snow skirt snaps into ski pants
- RECCO reflector, helmet-compatible 3-way hood
- No insulation: warmth comes from your midlayer
- 40D three-layer Pro fabric is stiff and noisy
- Relaxed cut, no slim silhouette; S-XL only
The Peak Performance Vertical Gore-Tex Pro 3L Shell Jacket Women is an uninsulated three-layer hardshell ski jacket with a 28,000 mm water column and fully sealed seams, built for full days of resort and off-piste skiing in rain, wind and snow. It pairs a GORE-TEX PRO ePE membrane with a 40D ripstop face fabric and ski-specific hardware: a detachable snow skirt that snaps into ski pants, a three-way adjustable helmet-compatible hood and a RECCO reflector.
Who is this shell jacket for?
This is a jacket for skiers who stay out when the weather turns and who are happy to control warmth with layers rather than with built-in insulation. It suits resort days, off-piste skiing and multi-day high-alpine use. It is not a standalone warm jacket: with no insulation at all, standing in lift queues or watching from the side in the cold without a midlayer will feel cold. Anyone looking for a close, slim silhouette, or for the lightest possible setup for uphill days, should look at a different construction.
How waterproof and breathable is the Vertical Gore-Tex Pro 3L Shell Jacket?
The three-layer GORE-TEX PRO laminate of this Peak Performance shell is rated at a 28,000 mm water column and every seam is sealed, so sustained rain and wet snow stay out. All exposed zippers are YKK AquaGuard, including the two-way full-length front zip. Breathability is covered by GORE-TEX PRO's RET <17.5 certification ceiling rather than a measured figure, so it cannot be compared directly with jackets quoted in g/m²/24h. Zippered vents under the sleeves let you dump heat on the climb or on a warm spring day.
Which size should you choose?
The Peak Performance Vertical Gore-Tex Pro 3L Shell Jacket Women has a relaxed cut, so your usual size leaves room for a fleece or insulated midlayer underneath without pulling across the back. It is offered in S, M, L and XL. Check your chest and sleeve length against the size chart on this page before ordering, and note that the hood is sized to go over a ski helmet.
How is the three-layer construction built?
The Peak Performance Vertical Gore-Tex Pro 3L Shell Jacket Women is a true three-layer laminate: a 40D ripstop face fabric in 100% recycled Polyamide 6, a GORE-TEX PRO ePE membrane made from expanded polyethylene, and a GRID backer bonded to the inside. Because all three layers are bonded, there is no loose lining to cling when you pull the jacket on over a damp midlayer. Every seam is sealed. The fixed hood adjusts in three directions — height, width and volume — with Cohæsive™ cord hardware and a laminated brim that holds its shape in driving snow, and a fleece-lined chin guard sits behind the top of the zip.
Is this jacket suitable for off-piste skiing and ski touring?
On the piste and off it, the ski detailing on this Peak Performance Vertical shell does the work: a detachable snow skirt with a snap-in system for ski pants, a ski pass pocket, zippered hand and chest pockets, elastic wrist gaiters with thumbholes, hook-and-loop sleeve hem straps and articulated sleeves that keep the cuffs down when you reach. A RECCO reflector is built in. For the occasional tour it works with the underarm vents open, but the snow skirt, the multiple pockets and the stiff 40D Pro fabric add bulk that uphill-focused skiers do not need, and the jacket is not configured for harness-based climbing.
What is it made of and how do you wash it?
The face fabric of the Peak Performance Vertical Gore-Tex Pro 3L Shell Jacket is 100% recycled Polyamide 6 over a 100% Polyamide 6 backer, with a lining of 77% recycled polyamide and 23% elastane. Ripstop at 40D is crisp and hard-wearing, and noticeably stiffer and noisier than a softshell or a two-layer jacket. Wash it at 40 °C on a delicate cycle with liquid detergent, rinse twice, and skip fabric softener. Close all zippers and turn the jacket inside out first, and take the goggle wipe cloth out before it goes in the machine. Tumble dry low or use a cool iron afterwards to reactivate the water-repellent finish; do not dry clean and do not iron over prints.
What makes this shell more sustainable?
The Vertical Gore-Tex Pro 3L Shell Jacket is made without intentionally added PFAS. The GORE-TEX PRO ePE membrane is expanded polyethylene rather than PTFE, the face fabric is 100% recycled Polyamide 6 and the lining is 77% recycled polyamide. A three-layer Pro laminate is also the most hard-wearing waterproof construction Peak Performance builds, which is the other half of the argument: a shell that survives many seasons of lift cables, backpack straps and rock contact.
