Men's Ski / Snow Jacket

How to Choose Your Men's Ski Jacket to Face the Mountain

Need a new ski jacket? This section is made for you!

In the mountains, a high-performance men's ski jacket is essential to fully enjoy the slopes. Whether you practice alpine skiing, off-piste skiing, or ski touring, you need a jacket that is warm, waterproof, windproof, and breathable. Leading brands like Millet, Degre7, Volcom, Burton, or Norrona design technical garments suited to all styles of skiing.

Master the multilayer strategy for more comfort

To stay warm while ensuring good ventilation, it is recommended to adopt the multilayer principle:

• Layer 1: a technical base layer that wicks sweat (Odlo)
• Layer 2: a fleece or lightweight down jacket for insulation (Millet, Degre7)
• Layer 3: a waterproof and windproof men's ski jacket (Millet, Volcom, Norrona)

Choose a jacket according to your skiing style

For piste skiers, the choice of a jacket should be based on thermal insulation and comfort. Jackets from Millet and Degre7 are perfect for those seeking a balance between warmth and freedom of movement. Opt for a fitted cut and a hood compatible with a helmet.

Freeride skiing and high mountain

Freeride enthusiasts need a very technical jacket. A high-performance membrane (like Gore-Tex) is recommended to face powder snow, strong winds, and low temperatures. Norrona and Millet design models intended for these extreme conditions, often equipped with ventilation zips and snow skirts.

A versatile jacket for all skiers

If you alternate between piste skiing, touring, and some off-piste runs, choose a technical and modular jacket. Models from Volcom or Degre7 combine technical features and comfort, while offering good durability. Their construction allows the jacket to be used in all conditions, even during heavy snowfall.

And for snowboarders?

Although our selection mainly targets skiers, some jackets are also suitable for snowboarding. Brands like Burton or Volcom offer longer jackets while maintaining a high level of technicality. However, the cut and thermal priorities remain the same as for skiing.

What level of water protection should you choose?

Water-repellent treatment

A water-repellent treatment allows water to slide off the jacket’s surface. It is sufficient for stable weather conditions and moderate use. This treatment can be renewed with specific products after several washes.

Waterproof and breathable membrane

For demanding skiers, the men's ski jacket with membrane (Gore-Tex or similar) is the most reliable solution. It prevents snow and rain from penetrating while allowing sweat to evaporate. Millet, Norrona, and Volcom offer highly technical models with heat-sealed seams, guaranteeing maximum waterproofness.

The men's ski jacket is an essential item to fully enjoy your days on the slopes. By choosing recognized brands like Millet, Degre7, Volcom, or Norrona, you will benefit from protection adapted to your level and skiing style. Make the right choice to stay warm, dry, and free to move on all kinds of snow.
