• Hardshell: windproof and waterproof. Perfect for powder and bad weather.
• Softshell: flexible and breathable. Suitable for intense efforts and spring skiing.

We also offer a collection of women's ski jackets to accompany mixed purchases for family or couples.

Technical Features to Check

• Thermal insulation: synthetic or noble. Choose according to the expected cold.
• Waterproofing: expressed in mm. 5,000 mm for occasional use. 15,000–20,000 mm for extreme conditions.
• Breathability: in g/m²/24h. Higher = better sweat evacuation.

Which Model According to Your Ski Style?

For freeride: prioritize waterproofing and length. For performance-oriented piste skiing: favor breathability and freedom of movement. For ski touring: weight and compressibility matter.

If you practice multiple activities, consider Scott equipment for skiing and trail for optimal versatility.

Down Jacket vs Insulated Jacket: Compared Advantages

The down jacket offers superior insulation for static cold. The insulated jacket is more versatile and dries faster. Choose the down jacket for intense après-ski. Choose the insulated jacket for moving without overheating.

How to Choose the Right Size

• Wear the layers you will use (base layer + midlayer) during the fitting.
• Check the range of motion at the shoulders and arms.
• The jacket should cover the lower back for alpine skiing.
• If in doubt, prefer a fit that is slightly close to the body to retain warmth.
