Product Information
There are two key points to consider when choosing a ski jacket:
Fabric: Look for a 4-way stretch fabric rather than a standard matte material.
This will give you greater mobility flexibility and comfort on the slopes.
Silhouette: Opt for a tailored fit rather than a boxy or oversized design. Tailored fit is the most recommende silhouette as Descente The Athletic fit is not quite oversized, but it is a size larger than the tailored fit. All Descente jackets are designed in 3D based on an analysis of the body structure at our DISC: https://www.descente.co.jp/jp/value/manufacturing/disc-osaka/

Same as choosing a ski jacket. Fabric and Silhouette are the KEY. DESCENTE 4 Way fabric is more elastic than the others, very comfortable and well-recognized.
It depends on your preferred Mountain Activities.
If you primarily ski on maintained slopes, DESCENTE strongly recommends our Insulation Jacket. This is considered a core item in our product line.
If you prefer to go up to the mountain top and ski down the slopes, DESCENTE recommends a Shell Jacket combined with a middle layer like a puffy jacket or T-neck.
The temperature and breathability control inside the garment are critical factors in choosing the right ski jacket.
Down jackets provide an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio and can still have enough breathability at the same level as an insulated jacket.
Shell jackets prioritize wind and water resistance, and shell jackets provide a layering outfit opportunity that can respond to changes in temperature between outside and inside clothing in various snowy mountains. but may need additional insulation layers.
Insulated jackets combine insulation and shell properties to provide both warmth and breathability and are perfectly functional for skiing on the slopes.

When it comes to layering for skiing, here are the main factors to keep in mind:
Ease of Adjustment:
Layering allows you to easily add or remove clothing as conditions and your activity level change.
This makes it easier to maintain the optimal body temperature and avoid overheating or getting too cold.
Breathability:
The layering system should allow for proper air circulation and breathability to prevent overheating.
Fabrics with higher breathability ratings will help regulate body temperature more effectively. The most important role of Breathability is to keep moisture out of the clothes, which is the deepest part of the human body.
