For walking around the village, yes, for riding. Not really. Puffer jackets are a great insulator but unfortunately don’t hold up well in wet conditions. Like the ones you’ll find on the slopes. It’s best to opt for a waterproof snow jacket to keep you warm and dry.
Whether you ski or snowboard, a snow jacket needs to do three things; keep you warm, keep you dry and keep you comfortable. When it comes to styling, there are three different fits to choose from: freeride, freestyle and traditional.
Freeride has more tech specs, freestyle is looser and longer, and traditional is fitted (more often chosen by skiers than snowboarders). What camp you fall into is up to you.
A winter coat will keep you warm but a ski jacket is designed to keep you warm and dry.
In wild places, the best of plans can go pear shaped so a ski jacket that performs no matter what the conditions is key. Whether it’s a freestyle snowboard jacket or technical freeride shell.
Yes, snow jackets are waterproof. The level of waterproofing depends on the rating. Jackets can start at 5K waterproof and work up to 20K plus. The higher the number, the more moisture a jacket can withstand.
Dry snow conditions don’t need a high waterproof rating whereas wet snow, like what you’ll find in Oz, you probably need 10K waterproof as a minimum.
Yes, you can wash snow jackets. Do they need to be washed? That’s up to you and your hygiene standards. Our recommendation. Don’t over wash. It’s good for your gear and the planet.
When your jacket needs a little rejuvenation, make sure to wash on cold and use a snow gear specific wash, like NikWax. That way your snow pants will stand the test of time.
A snow jacket is designed to keep you warm and dry and hosts extra features to keep snow out. A rain jacket is designed to keep you dry no matter how high or low the thermometer runs. When choosing between a snow or rain jacket, decide on where and how you’ll be using it. Hiking? Opt for a rain jacket. Skiing or snowboarding? A snow jacket is for you.
