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.

- 28,000 mm 3-layer ePE GORE-TEX, taped seams
- Zip-off powder skirt and freeride helmet hood
- Two-way X-open pit zips with YKK zippers
- No insulation: needs a mid layer in the cold
- Only available in S, M and L
- Freeride bulk: more jacket than touring needs
The Norrøna lofoten Gore-Tex Jacket is a women's 3-layer waterproof shell jacket for freeriding and off-piste skiing and snowboarding, built from lightweight 40D ePE GORE-TEX with a 28,000 mm water column and taped seams. It has no insulation: the shell blocks wind, snow and rain, and the warmth comes from the layers you wear underneath. A helmet-compatible storm hood, a zip-off powder skirt and two-way underarm vents place it firmly in the freeride category rather than the touring one.
Who is this jacket for?
The lofoten Gore-Tex Jacket fits a woman who rides mostly off-piste and in bad weather and wants to control her own warmth with layers instead of built-in padding. It also covers resort days, sidecountry laps and general outdoor use in wet, windy conditions. It is not meant to be worn on its own in cold weather, and not for high-output uphill touring or racing, where a lighter and more air-permeable shell makes more sense. Technical rock climbing and harness-heavy alpine use sit outside its purpose.
How much weather protection does it give?
The shell of the Norrøna lofoten Gore-Tex Jacket is a 3-layer 40D ePE GORE-TEX laminate at 165 g/m2, with a recycled polyester face and a recycled brushed polyester flannel backer, and all seams over waterproof fabric are taped. The water column is 28,000 mm and breathability is given as an RET below 20, so on warm or hard-charging days the two-way X-open underarm zippers do the real venting work.
Which size should you choose?
The lofoten Gore-Tex Jacket has a regular fit with articulated elbows, an asymmetric longer cut at the back and asymmetric Velcro cuffs that close over gloves, leaving room for a base layer and a mid layer underneath. Check the size chart on this page against your own chest and sleeve measurements. The jacket is stocked in S, M and L only.
How is the 3-layer construction of this jacket built up?
The Norrøna lofoten Gore-Tex Jacket uses one fabric across the whole garment: a lightweight 3-layer 40D ePE GORE-TEX laminate weighing 165 g/m2. The outer face is recycled polyester, the ePE GORE-TEX membrane sits in the middle and carries the 28,000 mm waterproof rating, and a recycled brushed polyester flannel backer is laminated to the inside. That backer replaces a separate lining, which is why the jacket feels soft against a base layer without adding a loose inner shell. Seams over waterproof fabric are taped, and the front and pocket zippers are water-resistant YKK. A secondary stretch fabric of 82% recycled polyamide and 18% elastane is used in the construction.
Is the lofoten Gore-Tex Jacket suitable for ski touring?
The jacket was developed for freeriding, and the feature set shows it: a storm hood fitted for a freeride helmet with one-hand adjustment, a zip-off powder skirt with gripper elastic and a snap-seal closure, a one-hand adjustable bottom hem and a full set of pockets including a radio and key-card pocket. On resort days and short sidecountry tours this works well, and the two-way underarm zippers let you dump heat on the way up. For sustained uphill touring or racing the Norrøna lofoten Gore-Tex Jacket is the wrong tool: the powder skirt, the large hood and the hem adjustment add bulk that a light, air-permeable touring shell does without. It also has no insulation, so for lift-line standing in deep cold you need a substantial mid layer or an insulated jacket instead.
Which materials are used and how do you wash it?
The main fabric face of the Norrøna lofoten Gore-Tex Jacket is 100% recycled polyester and the backer is 100% recycled, solution-dyed polyester; the secondary fabric is 82% recycled polyamide with 18% elastane. Wash it gently at 40 °C with a liquid detergent, with all zippers closed and together with similar colours. Do not bleach. Tumble dry lightly and, if you iron, stay at or below 110 °C. If the jacket is dry cleaned, only a hydrocarbon solvent may be used. Regular washing matters on a membrane garment: body oils and dirt in the face fabric are what make a 3-layer laminate feel clammy.
What makes this a more sustainable choice?
Both layers of the face construction are recycled polyester, the backer is solution-dyed to cut water and dye use, and the membrane is ePE GORE-TEX. This style is recorded as a bluesign® APPROVED article and carries Recycled Polyester (PET) and Global Recycled Standard (GRS, Textile Exchange) certification as well as OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100. The jacket is made in China.
