Most ski jackets use waterproof membranes such as Gore-Tex, Dermizax, or Dryplay bonded to fabrics that block moisture while allowing heat and vapour to escape. Waterproofing is measured by millimetres (e.g. 10,000–30,000 mm), and higher numbers mean greater water resistance.
Waterproof clothing uses fully sealed seams and membranes to keep moisture out completely, while water-resistant garments have surface coatings like DWR (durable water repellent) that protect against light snow but can soak through in sustained wet conditions.
Synthetic insulation like Primaloft or Thermolite is lightweight, quick-drying, and water-repellent, making it ideal for variable conditions. Natural insulation, such as down, offers superior warmth-to-weight but loses insulation efficiency when wet.
Breathability ratings measure how much moisture vapour passes through fabric. A rating of 10,000–15,000 g/m² is suited to moderate skiing, while 20,000 g/m²+ works best for high-output activities like ski touring.
Seam sealing protects the weakest points of a garment where water can enter through stitching. Critically taped seams cover only key areas, while fully taped or welded seams ensure complete waterproof protection across the entire garment.
Ski pants often use multi-layer fabrics with waterproof membranes and DWR coatings. Stretch fabrics like Pontetorto Tecnostretch improve mobility, while reinforced panels at knees and cuffs add durability against abrasion and ski edge cuts.
Wood cores, commonly made from ash, poplar, or maple, offer a lively, responsive feel and excellent durability. They provide natural damping and energy rebound, whereas foam or plastic cores tend to be lighter but less stable and durable.
Ski gloves are typically made with waterproof-breathable shells, synthetic insulation such as Primaloft, and soft linings like fleece. Ski socks use merino wool or synthetic blends for warmth, moisture management, and reinforcement in high-friction zones.
Most ski poles are made from aluminium (strong and affordable), carbon fibre (ultralight and stiff), or fibreglass composites (excellent strength-to-weight ratio). Each material affects durability, swing weight, and vibration damping on the slopes.
