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!

- 122 gsm Octa fleece, only 260 g on the body
- Low-profile ScubaHood fits under a helmet
- Flatlock seams and a laminated chest pocket
- Neither waterproof nor water-resistant
- Air-permeable fleece: no wind protection
- Fitted cut: no room for a thick midlayer
The Arc'teryx Delta Hoody is a men's fleece mid layer for high-output alpine days: a 122 gsm Octa polyester fleece with hollow-core fibres, a full-length front zip and a total weight of 260 grams. What sets the Delta Hoody apart is how much air it moves. This is a breathing layer that keeps regulating while you climb, hike or skin uphill, not a jacket that shuts out weather.
Who is the Arc'teryx Delta Hoody for?
It suits the alpine climber, hiker and ski tourer who wants warmth for very little weight and a fleece that disappears under a shell. It also works on its own as a warming layer at camp, on multi-day trips and in everyday use. It is the wrong choice if you need protection: the Delta Hoody is neither waterproof nor water-resistant, and the air-permeable fleece gives no wind protection as an outer layer. It is also not a resort or freeride garment, with no powder skirt, no pass pocket and no stated RECCO reflector.
How warm and how breathable is the Delta Hoody?
The Arc'teryx Delta Hoody carries its warmth in the fabric itself: Octa polyester fleece with a 40D Delta face at 122 gsm, with hollow-core fibres that trap air and a smooth outer face that slides under a hardshell. Phasic AR II polyester panels add stretch and move moisture away from the skin. At 122 gsm and 260 grams this is light warmth, built for moving in cool conditions rather than standing still in deep cold.
Which size should you choose?
Arc'teryx cuts the Delta Hoody Fitted: close through chest, waist and hip, with articulated patterning and a centre back length of 69 cm in size M. Sold here in S, M, L and XL. Measure your chest, waist and hip against the size chart on this page. Between sizes, go up for a looser fit or down for a closer one. The Fitted cut leaves room for a base layer underneath, not for a thick midlayer.
How is the Arc'teryx Delta Hoody constructed?
The body of the Arc'teryx Delta Hoody is a single fabric doing all the work: Octa polyester fleece, 100% polyester, 40D Delta face, 122 gsm. The hollow-core fibres hold air for warmth, while the open structure between them lets vapour and heat escape instead of building up. The face is smooth rather than brushed, which helps it slide under a shell sleeve. Panels of Phasic AR II engineered polyester add stretch and wick moisture where it collects. Seams are flatlock, so they lie flat against the skin and under a pack harness. There is no membrane and no lining in this construction, which is exactly why it breathes as well as it does.
Is the Delta Hoody suitable for ski touring and climbing?
On the way up, the Delta Hoody does its best work. Skinning or scrambling at a steady output, the 260 gram fleece vents the heat you produce and keeps the pace honest, and the low-profile ScubaHood fits under a climbing or ski helmet with a chin guard at the collar to stop zipper rub. A laminated chest pocket stays accessible with a harness or hipbelt on, and two hand pockets take gloves or skins at a stop. Where it stops is clear: as soon as the wind picks up or snow turns wet, the Arc'teryx Delta Hoody needs a shell over it. Elasticized cuffs and hem seal the layer, but they are not a weather defence. For long static periods in winter cold, put an insulated jacket over the top.
What is the Delta Hoody made of and how do you wash it?
The Arc'teryx Delta Hoody is a 100% polyester fleece hoody with Phasic AR II polyester panels, with the fabric made and dyed in Japan and the garment sewn in Vietnam. Polyester fleece keeps almost no water weight and dries quickly, which matters on multi-day trips. Wash it inside out on a gentle, low-temperature cycle, keep dark colours separate and skip fabric softener, which clogs the fibre structure and reduces wicking. Do not bleach, do not wring and do not iron or dry clean. If you tumble dry, use a gentle, low-temperature setting and take the hoody out of the machine immediately.
What about sustainability?
The Delta Hoody is made with recycled content and the materials are PFAS compliant, so no per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances are used in the fabric treatment. Arc'teryx notes one honest caveat: like any synthetic fleece, this garment can release plastic microfibres during washing. Washing it less often, on a full load and at low temperature reduces that, and it extends the life of the fleece at the same time.
