16 Ski Jackets That Guarantee Stylish Schussing
Dreaming of crisp Alpine air? If you’re lucky enough to be hitting the slopes at some point this winter and you’re in the market for a new ski jacket, read on.
What is the best ski jacket brand?
The best ski jacket styles are ones that not only protect you from the cold, but they also ensure you look chic on the mountains – and, of course, are sturdy enough to stand the test of time. Searching for a new ski jacket can be overwhelming, given there are so many options available. Therefore, it’s best to consult specialist brands like Perfect Moment, Bogner and Moncler, which boast a selection of duvet-esque styles that’ll keep you cosy on the lifts, while colourful styles courtesy of Pucci X Fusalp and Goldbergh will guarantee you’ll be easily spotted on the slopes. Keen to try out styles before making an investment? Try renting your ski wear from platforms such as Hurr, Blanqo and Selfridges Rental.
Should a ski jacket be tight or loose?
The main objective is comfort, but your ski jacket should be snug enough to keep you warm, and not so bulky it causes issues on the chairlifts. Consider the multiple layers you might want to wear beneath and try on a few jackets (with your full ski outfit) before picking your favourite.
Should you size up in ski jackets?
Generally speaking, no. The best women’s ski jackets should be made with sufficient room to accommodate all the extra layers you’ll inevitably be wearing underneath. Sizing can vary depending on the brand, so make sure to leave plenty of time to try several styles before your holiday.
