What Is an Insulated Ski Jacket and What Are the Options?
An insulated ski jacket is essential for anyone seeking warmth and comfort while skiing or snowboarding. The insulation helps maintain your body temperature, even in the harshest conditions. There are different types of insulation, each with its own advantages. In this guide, we explain the differences so you can make the perfect choice.
Down Insulation: Lightweight and Extremely Warm
A jacket insulated with down is the ideal choice for those looking for maximum warmth without sacrificing comfort. Down provides excellent insulation and is very lightweight, making it perfect for cold, dry conditions. However, keep in mind that down performs less well in wet conditions unless the jacket has been specially treated to resist moisture.
Wool Insulation: Natural and Breathable
Jackets with wool insulation offer a natural alternative. Wool is not only warm but also breathable and retains heat even when damp. This option is ideal for those who prefer natural materials and comfort in varying weather conditions.
Synthetic Insulation: Versatile and Low-Maintenance
Synthetic insulation, such as PrimaLoft or Thinsulate, offers excellent warmth and performs well in wet conditions. This option is often slightly heavier than down but dries quickly and is easier to care for. It’s ideal for active winter sports enthusiasts who value versatility and affordability.
Why Choose an Insulated Ski Jacket?
-
Optimal Warmth: Protect yourself against extreme cold.
-
Comfort During Activity: Maintain your freedom of movement without sacrificing insulation.
-
Suitable for Various Weather Conditions: Whether you're skiing in powder snow or braving a cold wind, an insulated jacket adapts to your needs.
Which Insulation Suits You Best?
The right insulation depends on your personal preferences and the conditions in which you’ll wear the jacket. Looking for ultimate warmth and comfort? Go for down. Need a versatile, low-maintenance option? Consider synthetic materials. Or choose wool for a natural feel.

STEP BY STEP GUIDE:
1. Check your items
√ Has the return period of 14 days after receipt not expired
√ Is the yellow return label (in the case of outerwear and trousers) and all price tags still attached?
√ Is the article unworn and therefore not dirty, damaged or creased?
2. Submit your return online
Enter your own postcode and the full order number (including letters) in the portal to which you can start the return. You can choose to purchase a DPD shipping label via the portal. If you choose this option, print the shipping label. You can download this immediately and it will also be sent to you by e-mail (please check your e-mail address and any spam mail).
You can also choose another carrier outside the portal. We always advise you to send the parcel insured. The DPD label via the portal insures your parcel up to €500.
3. Pack your return
√ Fold the items neatly and close all zips and buttons. Because of the technical materials it is important not to cause serious creases and wrinkles, as these can damage the product.
Then pack the items back in their original packaging and put them in the shipping bag or box. Another bag or box is also fine, as long as it is sturdy so that it arrives undamaged
√ If you have items from several orders that you wish to return, you may simply return them in 1 parcel
√ Put the enclosed packing slip/order confirmation (or a copy) in the parcel
√ Stick the DPD shipping label on the parcel.

- 213 g/m2 warm2 fleece, 91% recycled polyester
- Hood fits over a beanie, close stretch fit
- Articulated sleeves, longer back under a pack
- No membrane: no rain protection, limited wind
- Midweight warmth, too little for static cold
- Only S, M and L; colour may transfer to light fabrics
The Norrøna falketind warm2 stretch Hood is a women's hooded fleece mid-layer built for all-year mountaineering, ski touring and trekking. It is made from a single warm2 stretch fabric — 91% recycled polyester with 9% elastane at 213 g/m2 — with no membrane and no separate fill, so it insulates while staying very breathable. It belongs over a base layer and under a shell, not on the outside in bad weather.
Who is the falketind warm2 stretch Hood for?
It suits a woman who wants one versatile stretch fleece: the warm layer under a hardshell on a ski tour or an alpine route, and a jacket on its own on dry days. The Norrøna falketind warm2 stretch Hood is not a rain layer and not a windproof one, because the fleece is deliberately air-permeable, so on an exposed ridge you need a shell over it. It is also not the right single insulation layer for static cold such as long lift rides in deep winter or belaying.
How warm is the falketind warm2 stretch Hood?
The warm2 knit weighs 213 g/m2, which puts the Norrøna falketind warm2 stretch Hood in midweight territory: warm enough for moving uphill around freezing, open enough that you rarely have to strip it off on the first steep pitch. The warmth comes from the fabric alone, so what you feel depends on what you layer over and under it.
Which size should you choose?
Regular fit, offered in S, M and L. The hood sits close to the head but is sized to go over a beanie, the sleeves are articulated and the back hem is cut longer than the front. Use the size chart on this page before ordering, and remember this is a midweight fleece, not a thin liner: if your shell is cut close and you want another midlayer underneath, allow for the bulk.
What is the warm2 fabric in the falketind warm2 stretch Hood?
warm2 is Norrøna's midweight stretch fleece, and in the falketind warm2 stretch Hood it is the only fabric in play: 91% recycled polyester with 9% elastane, at 213 g/m2. There is no membrane and no separate insulation fill. The knit holds warm air between its fibres while remaining air-permeable, so sweat vapour moves outward instead of collecting against your base layer, and the 9% elastane lets the fleece follow your shoulders and arms. The same openness that makes it breathe is why wind passes through it. Add a shell and the identical fleece becomes a noticeably warmer system.
Is the falketind warm2 stretch Hood suitable for ski touring and mountaineering?
Yes, as the insulating layer in a touring or alpine kit. On the skin track the Norrøna falketind warm2 stretch Hood vents through the fabric rather than through zips, the full-length front zip and the hood let you dump or trap heat quickly, and the articulated sleeves and longer back cut keep it sitting still under a harness or a pack hipbelt. The two hand pockets and the chest pocket stay reachable at transitions. Where it stops is clear: in rain or wet snow, in strong wind, or standing around in deep cold, it needs a shell or a dedicated insulated jacket over it. On resort and off-piste days it works the same way — under your ski jacket, not instead of it.
What is it made of and how do you wash it?
One main fabric: 91% recycled polyester and 9% elastane, 213 g/m2, made in Lithuania. Recycled polyester is hard-wearing and dries fast, and the elastane content is what gives the falketind warm2 stretch Hood its recovery after repeated stretching, so the cuffs and hood keep their close fit. Care is restricted and worth following: a gentle wash at 40 °C with a mild detergent, no bleach, no tumble drying, no ironing, no dry cleaning. Wash it with similar colours — the dye can transfer onto light-coloured materials, so keep it away from pale base layers and shell linings in the machine.
How sustainable is this fleece?
The main fabric of the Norrøna falketind warm2 stretch Hood is 91% recycled polyester, certified to the Global Recycled Standard (Textile Exchange). The article is bluesign® APPROVED and certified to OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100, which covers the chemistry used in production and the finished textile. Norrøna is a family-owned Norwegian brand that builds its garments around durability and repairability, and a fleece with no membrane and no coating is among the simplest pieces to keep in service for years.
