Stay warm and comfortable with a good ski jacket
As mentioned earlier, a major cause of the cold effect is the wind chill when you're skiing. This makes having a windproof jacket one of the most important aspects. Of course, different times of the season may require slightly different things. On a warm spring day, a lined hoodie might be enough, but it won't work as well on a cold winter day.
Another thing to consider is breathability and waterproofing. All ski jackets in our range offer good breathability and waterproofing. Do you ski one week a year and perhaps not full days when the weather is worse? Or are you the first out and the last in from the slopes, regardless of the weather? If you belong to the latter category, you probably demand a bit more from your garment. In that case, it might be worth paying a few extra kronor to get a jacket with slightly higher waterproofing.
Ski jackets with ventilation
Many jackets have ventilation that can be opened, for example, under the arms. This allows you to regulate your temperature throughout the day. Often it can be really cold in the morning, only to become significantly warmer during the day. Then it's nice to be able to ventilate a bit extra in the afternoon.
Lined ski jacket
So, how much lining should my jacket have? As mentioned, it's a matter of taste. If you want to dress in layers underneath and have a jacket that is therefore very adaptable, a shell jacket is probably preferable. If you get cold easily, for example, or don't want to bother with too many layers, then a lined jacket is probably something for you.
A snow skirt is another good feature that most ski jackets have. It keeps snow out if you fall, and it also helps to seal out the cold wind from blowing up under the jacket.
