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
- Vectran 163 g/m2 reinforcement in the lower leg
- X-open vents run from upper thigh to knee
- Uninsulated: needs a mid layer in deep cold
- 624 g in size M is heavy for a shell pant
- Only S, M and L, in one leg length
The Norrøna lofoten Gore-Tex Pants are women's 3-layer waterproof shell pants built for freeride skiing and snowboarding in cold, wet snow. The laminate pairs a 28,000 mm ePE GORE-TEX membrane with a brushed recycled polyester flannel backer, so the shell feels warmer against the leg than a bare touring pant while staying uninsulated. A 70D x 160D face fabric and a Vectran 163 g/m2 reinforcement in the lower leg take the cut and tear exposure around the ankles.
Who are the Norrøna lofoten Gore-Tex Pants for?
These pants suit a woman who rides mainly off-piste and in resort in cold, wet winter conditions and wants a hard-wearing, fully waterproof shell rather than the lightest possible one. They are not the right choice for high-output or spring ski touring, where 624 grams in size M and a flannel-backed laminate work against you, and not for standing still in deep cold without a thermal layer underneath.
How waterproof and breathable are the lofoten Gore-Tex Pants?
The 3-layer ePE GORE-TEX construction is rated at 28,000 mm water column with taped seams throughout, and the laminate blocks wind. Breathability is quoted as RET below 20, which is adequate for lift-served riding and short climbs but behind lighter touring shells on sustained output. X-open, mesh-lined side vents with water-resistant zippers run from the upper thigh to the knee to dump heat on the way up.
Which size should you choose in the Norrøna lofoten Gore-Tex Pants?
The Norrøna lofoten Gore-Tex Pants come in S, M and L, in one leg length, with a technical cut shaped by articulated knees and seat. A custom-fit waist system, belt loops and a raised back waistband set the waist position. Compare your measurements with the size chart on this page, and allow room for a base layer plus a thermal mid layer in cold conditions.
How are the Norrøna lofoten Gore-Tex Pants built?
The Norrøna lofoten Gore-Tex Pants use a 3-layer 70D x 160D ePE GORE-TEX laminate: a 100% recycled polyester face, the ePE membrane in the middle, and a brushed recycled polyester flannel backer bonded on as the third layer. That backer is why the pants read as a warmer shell, even though there is no insulation anywhere in the garment. All seams are taped, the front fly uses a water-resistant zipper with a snap waist closure, and the lower leg hem carries a snap adjustment plus a Vectran 163 g/m2 reinforcement rated for cut and tear exposure. Extra reinforcement fabric sits inside the ankles, where boots and edges do the most damage.
Are the lofoten Gore-Tex Pants suitable for freeride and ski touring?
Freeride skiing and snowboarding off-piste is the primary use these shell pants were designed around, and the detailing follows it: stretchy snow gaiters with friction elastic, a snap-in solution for a powder skirt on a compatible jacket, and a bellowed thigh pocket plus a tool pocket for the things you carry on a deep day. On-piste resort riding and sidecountry in cold, wet snow are a natural fit too. Ski touring is possible with the thigh-to-knee vents open, but 624 grams in women's medium and a breathability figure given only as RET below 20 mean these are not the pants for fast, sweaty ascents. Note also that the powder skirt, the snap-seal connection and the zip-off bib with suspenders are compatibility options rather than parts included with the pants.
What are the lofoten Gore-Tex Pants made of and how do you wash them?
The main fabric face is 100% recycled polyester and the backer is 100% recycled, solution-dyed polyester. A secondary stretch fabric of 82% recycled polyamide and 18% elastane is used in the garment, and the lower leg reinforcement is Vectran at 163 g/m2. Wash gently at 40 °C with all zippers closed, skip bleach, tumble dry lightly and iron at a maximum of 110 °C. If the pants go to a cleaner, hydrocarbon solvent only. Regular washing keeps the face fabric clean, which is what lets the membrane keep moving moisture outwards. The pants are made in China.
How sustainable are the Norrøna lofoten Gore-Tex Pants?
Both layers of the face and backer are recycled polyester, with the backer solution dyed, and the secondary fabric is 82% recycled polyamide. The article is bluesign APPROVED and certified to the Global Recycled Standard (GRS, Textile Exchange) and OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100, with the recycled polyester (PET) content recorded in Norrøna's sustainability data exchange.
