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.
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!

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.

- SOLAR BURST is not offered in 2XL
The Peak Performance Vertec HIPE® 3L Shell Jacket is an uninsulated three-layer shell jacket for men, built for resort skiing and equally at home off-piste and on tours. It pairs a 20,000 mm water column with 20,000 g/m²/24h breathability in a fully seam sealed HIPE®ACE construction that weighs 670 g. The ski-specific kit is what sets it apart from a plain mountain shell: a fixed helmet-compatible hood, a fixed snow skirt that snaps into ski pants, a ski-pass pocket and a RECCO® reflector.
Who is the Vertec HIPE® 3L Shell Jacket for?
This jacket suits the resort skier who also drops into the backcountry and wants one shell that handles both, with warmth built underneath by layering. It is not the right jacket if you want to ski in a single garment in cold weather, because the Peak Performance Vertec HIPE® 3L Shell Jacket carries no insulation at all. Gram-counting ski mountaineers will also find 670 g plus a fixed snow skirt more jacket than they need.
How waterproof and breathable is this shell jacket?
The three-layer HIPE®ACE laminate is rated at 20,000 mm water column and 20,000 g/m²/24h, and every seam is sealed, so sustained snowfall, sleet and wind stay outside. Those are solid all-round figures rather than the ceiling of the shell market, so in hours of heavy rain or at a high-output touring pace you will reach the limit of the Peak Performance Vertec HIPE® 3L Shell Jacket sooner than with a top-tier laminate. Zippered vents under the sleeves release heat, but they move less air than full-length pit zips.
Which size should you choose?
The cut is relaxed, with room designed in for a base layer, a midlayer and an insulation layer underneath, so you do not need to buy a size up to create layering space. Sizes run S to 2XL, and 2XL is not offered in SOLAR BURST. Check your chest and sleeve measurements against the size chart on this page before ordering; if you prefer a close, trim silhouette, this shape will feel roomy.
How is the Vertec HIPE® 3L Shell Jacket built?
Peak Performance builds this jacket around HIPE®ACE, its own waterproof and breathable membrane, laminated into a three-layer construction: a 70D midweight polyamide face fabric on the outside, the polyurethane membrane in the middle, and a woven polyester backer with a P-logo print bonded to the inside. Because the backer is part of the laminate rather than a loose lining, the jacket keeps a single, quiet layer against your midlayer. Every seam is sealed and the exposed zippers are YKK AquaGuard®, including the two-way front zipper, so the weak points of a shell are covered. A water-repellent treatment on the face fabric makes snow and rain bead off, and the jacket is made without intentionally added PFAS.
Is the Vertec HIPE® 3L Shell Jacket suitable for ski touring as well as the resort?
On the piste the ski detailing does the work: the fixed hood adjusts in height and width over a ski helmet and has a laminated brim, the snow skirt snaps into compatible ski pants, and the ski-pass pocket, chest pockets and hand pockets all close with zippers. Off-piste the RECCO® reflector adds a search signal for organised rescue. On the way up, zippered vents under the sleeves and articulated sleeves keep the jacket workable, and at 670 g it is light enough for a tour. Where it stops is fast-and-light ski mountaineering: the fixed snow skirt and the full resort feature set add weight and bulk a stripped-back touring shell does not carry, and the sleeve vents cap how much heat you can dump at a hard pace.
What is the Vertec HIPE® 3L Shell Jacket made of and how do you wash it?
The shell face is 100% polyamide in a 70D midweight weave, the backer 100% polyester and the membrane 100% polyurethane. That combination is built for abrasion from backpack straps, chairlifts and tree branches. Machine wash at 40°C with similar colours and close all zippers first. Skip fabric softener and bleach, and do not iron, dry clean or professional wet clean the jacket. Remove the goggle wiper cloth before every wash. Tumble dry on low after washing to reactivate the water-repellent treatment; line drying in shade also works, but the tumble dry step is what keeps water beading on the face fabric.
What does Peak Performance do here for sustainability?
The Vertec HIPE® 3L Shell Jacket is made without intentionally added PFAS, so the water-repellent finish does not rely on that chemistry.
