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.

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.
If you have chosen to send via another carrier, please write the return address on the parcel:

- 28,000 mm GORE-TEX ePE, fully sealed seams
- Fixed powder skirt with snap-in pant system
- Helmet hood, adjustable in height and width
- No insulation: warmth comes from your layers
- 710 g, with fixed hood and powder skirt
- RET under 13: mid-range for high-output use
The Peak Performance Vertical Gore-Tex 3L Jacket Men is an uninsulated three-layer GORE-TEX ski shell with a 28,000 mm water column and fully sealed seams, built for resort and freeride skiing. The membrane is GORE-TEX ePE, an expanded polyethylene film, laminated to a 100% recycled polyester face fabric and finished with a PFC-free water repellent treatment. At 710 g with a fixed powder skirt and a snap-in ski pant system, it is a lift-served and off-piste shell rather than a lightweight touring layer.
Who is the Vertical Gore-Tex 3L Jacket for?
This jacket suits the skier who wants one fully waterproof ski shell for resort days, off-piste laps and bad weather, and who builds warmth with a base layer and a midlayer underneath. It is not a standalone winter jacket: there is no insulation at all, so standing around in deep cold with only a thin layer below will feel cold. It is also not the choice for weight-critical fast-and-light touring or for anyone who wants a close, slim silhouette.
How waterproof and breathable is the Vertical Gore-Tex 3L Jacket?
The three-layer construction is rated at a 28,000 mm water column and every seam is sealed, so sustained wet snow and rain stay out. Breathability is stated as RET under 13, which is mid-range for a three-layer shell rather than an active-shell figure, so the zippered vents under the sleeves do the real temperature control on warm or high-output days. The PFC-free durable water repellent finish keeps the face fabric from wetting out.
Which size should you choose in the Vertical Gore-Tex 3L Jacket?
The cut is relaxed, which means room for a fleece or a light insulated midlayer in your usual size without the shoulders pulling. Sleeves are articulated and the hems adjust with velcro straps so the cuffs close over gloves. Available in S, M, L, XL and 2XL. Check the size chart on this page against your chest and sleeve measurements before you order, especially if you prefer a trimmer fit than a relaxed ski cut.
How is the Peak Performance Vertical Gore-Tex 3L Jacket built?
Three layers are bonded into one fabric: a 100% recycled polyester face, a GORE-TEX ePE membrane of 100% expanded polyethylene, and a 100% polyamide 6.6 backer. That laminate carries the 28,000 mm water column and the windproofing, while the backer means no separate drop lining is needed over the body. All seams are sealed, and the exposed zippers — including the two-way YKK AquaGuard front zipper — are water resistant. A fleece lined chinguard sits behind the top of the zipper, and a RECCO reflector is built in for use by organised rescue services.
Is the Vertical Gore-Tex 3L Jacket suitable for resort skiing and freeride?
Yes — the ski-specific details of the Peak Performance Vertical Gore-Tex 3L Jacket are aimed exactly there. The hood is fixed, fits over a ski helmet and adjusts in two directions for height and width, with a laminated brim that holds its shape in driving snow. A fixed powder skirt with a snap-in ski pant system closes the jacket to your pants for deep snow and crashes, and the hem drawcord seals the bottom. Zippered hand, chest and inner pockets handle a phone, skins of a thin profile or a pass, and a goggle wiper cloth is attached inside. For touring it works on descents in poor weather, but the 710 g weight plus the non-removable hood and powder skirt put it behind a dedicated lightweight touring shell on long climbs. There is no thigh pocket or dedicated pass pocket.
What is the Vertical Gore-Tex 3L Jacket made of and how do you wash it?
Shell face 100% recycled polyester, membrane 100% expanded polyethylene, backer 100% polyamide 6.6, with a 100% polyamide lining and a stretch hood lining of 78% polyamide and 22% elastane. Polyamide 6.6 on the inside is a hard-wearing choice for a jacket that spends its life against pack straps and chairlift seats. Machine wash at 40 °C, inside out, with the zippers closed and the goggle wiper cloth removed first. Skip fabric softener and bleach, then tumble dry low or iron at two dots to reactivate the water repellent finish — that heat step is what keeps water beading on the face fabric instead of soaking in.
What makes the Vertical Gore-Tex 3L Jacket a more responsible choice?
The water repellent treatment is PFC-free and the shell face fabric is 100% recycled polyester, so the most exposed layer of the Peak Performance Vertical Gore-Tex 3L Jacket is made from recycled fibre. A repairable, fully taped three-layer shell that you re-proof instead of replace is the practical side of that.
