More informationWhat 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.
Our premium ski jackets combine functionality, style, and top quality, so you can fully enjoy your winter sports adventure. Explore our collection and find your perfect insulated ski jacket!

√ 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?

√ 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

- 700 fill power duck down, packs down small
- Full-length side zips open both legs fully
- Shell and lining 100% recycled polyamide
- Water repellent only: not for rain or wet snow
- Windproof down: too warm for high-output climbs
- No reinforcement panels on the seat or legs
The Peak Performance Helium Down Shorts Women are down-insulated shorts that add warmth around the hips and upper legs, worn either over a base layer or as an extra insulation layer underneath shell pants. They are filled with 700 fill power duck down in a 90/10 down-to-feather blend and quilted in the Helium pattern. Full-length zippers run along both legs, so each leg opens completely for putting them on and taking them off.
Who are the Helium Down Shorts Women for?
They suit a skier or mountain user who gets cold around the hips and thighs on lift days, at belays, at camp or during long rest stops, and who wants a down layer that compresses small enough to carry in a pack. The Peak Performance Helium Down Shorts Women are not rain or wet-snow protection and do not replace ski or shell pants: the shell is water repellent only, and down loses loft and warmth once it is wet.
How warm are the Helium Down Shorts Women?
Warmth comes from 700 fill power duck down (90% duck down, 10% duck feather) held in a quilted construction between a 100% recycled polyamide shell and a 100% recycled polyamide lining. That is warmth for standing still and moving at low output. For a hard skinning ascent, a windproof down short over your legs will be too warm.
Which size should you choose?
The Peak Performance Helium Down Shorts Women have a regular fit and come in XS, S, M, L and XL. Worn as an outer layer over a base layer, take one size up. Worn under shell pants for extra warmth, take your regular size. Check the size chart on this page, and make sure your shell pants have room for an insulated layer underneath.
How are the Peak Performance Helium Down Shorts Women constructed?
The Peak Performance Helium Down Shorts Women use 700 fill power duck down, a 90/10 blend of duck down and duck feather, quilted in the Helium pattern so the fill stays distributed across the hips and thighs. The face fabric and the lining are both 100% recycled polyamide, woven tightly enough to hold down. Full-length side opening zippers run down both legs with YKK reversed coil zippers, and an elastic waistband takes care of the fit without a belt or buckle. Two open hand pockets and a back patch pocket cover small items, and a hanger loop sits on the outside of the waistband.
Are the Helium Down Shorts Women suitable for resort days and ski touring?
On a cold resort day the Helium Down Shorts Women go under your shell pants and add insulation where chairlifts and standing around take warmth out of you. At a belay, a bivouac or a rest stop, they go on over a base layer as an outer layer, and the full-length leg zippers mean you do not have to undress to put them on. They also work at camp and after skiing. Where they stop: sustained rain and wet snow, since the shell is water repellent with no seam sealing; sitting and sliding on hard snow and rock, since the fabric carries no reinforcement or scuff panels; and high-output ascents, where a windproof down layer around the legs builds up too much heat. They are a supplement to ski and shell pants, not a replacement, and they cover only the hips and upper legs.
What are the Helium Down Shorts Women made of and how do you wash them?
Shell and lining are both 100% recycled polyamide, with a filling of 90% duck down and 10% duck feather. Machine wash at 40 °C on a delicate cycle with similar colours, with the zippers closed and without fabric softener, which coats down and flattens the loft. Take the shorts out of the machine promptly, then tumble dry inside out on low with a few tennis balls for at least five hours, removing them every half hour to shake the down back into place. Do not bleach, iron, dry clean or professional wet clean. Done this way, the down recovers its full loft after washing.
What makes the Helium Down Shorts Women a responsible choice?
The Peak Performance Helium Down Shorts Women are made without intentionally added PFAS. The down is certified to the Responsible Down Standard and traceable through the Track My Down programme, and both the shell and the lining are 100% recycled polyamide.
