MEN'S JACKETS

Men’s snowsports jackets come in several styles: hardshells for maximum waterproofing and wind resistance, softshells for breathability and flexibility, and insulated jackets for added warmth in colder climates. 3-in-1 jackets combine a waterproof shell with a removable insulated liner for versatility across changing conditions. 

Insulated jackets are ideal for cold to very cold days, providing built-in warmth with down or synthetic fill—great for those who feel the cold or ski in freezing temperatures. Shell jackets are lightweight and uninsulated, designed for layering and versatility, making them suitable for milder weather or high-activity skiing. 

Key features include a high waterproof rating (at least 5,000mm, ideally 10,000mm+), breathability, taped seams, adjustable hoods, ventilation zips, snow skirts, and plenty of pockets for storage. Look for durable materials like GORE-TEX for reliable weather protection and comfort on the slopes. 

Fit options include slim, regular, and loose. Slim fits reduce drag and enhance movement for technical skiing, regular fits balance comfort and mobility, and loose fits offer greater coverage and freedom, especially for freestyle or snowboarding. Always allow room for layering underneath your jacket. 

Yes, 3-in-1 jackets offer all-weather versatility by combining a waterproof shell with a zip-in insulated liner. You can wear the shell alone for milder or wet conditions, the liner alone for warmth, or both together for maximum protection in cold, snowy weather. 

Look for a waterproof rating of at least 5,000mm for light snow, but 10,000–20,000mm is recommended for heavy snow or wet conditions. High-end jackets often use GORE-TEX or similar membranes for superior waterproofing and breathability, essential for staying dry and comfortable all day.
