How to choose a ski jacket

21/11/2019 5425 Skiing and snowboarding

The ski jacket is one of the most important parts of the winter equipment you own. It will keep you warm in some of the most extreme weather conditions, so it is important to be strong and practical.



Choose the best brand

When choosing the right jacket, you can easily become a snob. But sometimes, when it comes to a ski jacket, it's not difficult. Good jackets are made of expensive materials and are not the cheapest. Kilpi is a brand with proven traditions and quality. Among the various models you can even find a jacket with heating.

 

Find the right model

Let's face it - even if you're looking for the most practical ski jacket, no one will want to look like a colorful bag of potatoes. Especially considering that the ski jacket will be one of the most expensive clothes in your wardrobe, you will certainly want to look good in it. Fortunately, ski clothing manufacturers have taken this into account. Longer jackets that cover the seat are ideal for the inevitable falls in the snow. In addition, they lengthen the body. Unlike the big fluffy jackets, the fitted ones will also outline your figure. You can view different models of ski jackets HERE



Choose light colors

No matter what jacket you are looking for - fitted or not, color is very important. In addition to wearing it for one season (or ten), people will recognize you exactly by color. You will stand out from the rest if you choose a light color. Some of the most suitable are sparkling green and orange.

 

Pay attention to the materials

One of the most important things to consider when buying a jacket is the degree of water resistance - it varies from 3000 mm to 20 000 mm (and 5,000 will do the job). The other important feature is a breathable surface - from 3000 g / m2 / 24 h to 20,000 g / m2 / 24 h.



Don't worry about spending a little more money, because the more you give, the more durable the jacket will be.
