Frequently asked questions

What water column should a women’s ski jacket have?

For recreational skiing in good weather, 10,000 mm is enough; for whole days on the slopes, falling snow and wet snow, choose 15,000–20,000 mm. NORDBLANC women’s ski jackets most often have a TERATEX® membrane (15,000–20,000 mm); the greatest margin, 30,000 mm, comes mainly from jackets with a DERMIZAX™ membrane. Taped seams and waterproof zips, which most models have, complete the waterproofing.

Women’s ski jacket or snowboard jacket?

It mainly depends on how loosely you want the jacket to fit – the protection is the same. NORDBLANC women’s snowboard jackets and anoraks protect you just like the ski jackets, with a TERATEX® membrane (15,000–20,000 mm), and they have a snow skirt and FURTHERM insulation rated down to −20 °C (NORDBLANC warmth scale). Most of them fit more loosely, though – more than half have an Oversized fit.

When should I choose a softshell jacket for skiing?

When you want a stretchy, close-fitting jacket on the slopes. NORDBLANC women’s ski softshell jackets have a TERATEX® or SOFTSHIELD® membrane with a water column of 10,000–20,000 mm; most of them are insulated (rated down to −20 °C on the NORDBLANC warmth scale) and have a Slim fit. A light, uninsulated softshell is better suited to spring skiing and active movement; for freezing weather and snowfall, choose an insulated jacket.

How should a women’s ski jacket fit?

The jacket should cover your lower back even when you lean forward, and the sleeves shouldn’t expose your wrists when you stretch your arms out in front of you as you do when skiing. There must be enough room underneath for a base layer and a mid-layer. NORDBLANC women’s ski jackets mostly have a Regular fit; the softshell ski jackets are mostly closer-fitting (Slim fit) and the anoraks looser (Oversized).

What temperatures are women’s ski jackets suitable for?

Almost all NORDBLANC women’s ski jackets are rated down to −20 °C on NORDBLANC’s indicative warmth scale. Their warmth comes from FURTHERM, THERMOLITE® or THERMOLITE® EcoMade T-DOWN synthetic insulation, which works even when damp. For severe cold or windy chairlift rides, add a base layer and a fleece underneath.
