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.
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!

- 60 g/m² Solarcore® body fill, no separate midlayer
- Fully seam sealed HIPE® 2L, 10,000 mm water column
- Snap-in powder skirt, RECCO® and ski pass pocket
- 10,000 mm: not for long days in heavy wet snow
- Fixed insulation and powder skirt: too warm uphill
- No waist hem drawcord; adjustment at hood and cuffs
The Peak Performance Whitelight APX HIPE® 2L Insulated Shell Jacket Women is a two-layer insulated ski jacket for resort skiing, built around the brand's own HIPE® hydrophobic PU membrane with a 10,000 mm water column and a fully seam sealed construction. Synthetic Solarcore® and Pinneco Mantle™ insulation at 60 g/m² in the body means you get shell and warmth in one garment instead of a separate hardshell jacket plus midlayer. The full ski feature set is here: helmet-compatible fixed hood, snap-in powder skirt, ski pass pocket and a RECCO® reflector.
Who is this jacket for?
This Whitelight APX jacket suits the resort skier who wants one jacket for lift-served days and general winter use, and who would rather not build a layering system. It is not the jacket for high-output uphill work such as ski touring, where the fixed insulation and fixed powder skirt add heat and weight, and it carries no harness-friendly pocket layout for technical climbing.
How waterproof and breathable is it?
The HIPE® membrane is rated at 10,000 mm water column and 10,000 g/m²/24h moisture vapour transmission, with all seams sealed and YKK AquaGuard® zippers on every exposed closure. That is a mid-level specification: enough for snow, wind and normal winter weather on the piste, less suited to sustained heavy rain or long days in wet, melting snow. Zippered ventilation under the sleeves lets you dump heat on warmer days.
Which size should you choose?
Peak Performance states a regular fit for this jacket: room for a base layer and a thin midlayer underneath, without extra volume around the body. Sizes run XS to XL, with XS offered in SAND FOG only. Check the size chart on this page against your chest and sleeve measurements, and take the larger size if you sit between two.
How is the Whitelight APX built?
The Peak Performance Whitelight APX HIPE® 2L Insulated Shell Jacket Women uses a two-layer construction: a face fabric of 88% recycled polyamide and 12% elastane laminated directly to a 100% polyurethane HIPE® membrane, with the insulation carried behind it. HIPE® is Peak Performance's own hydrophobic PU membrane and is rated at 10,000 mm water column and 10,000 g/m²/24h. The filling is synthetic — Solarcore® and Pinneco Mantle™, 100% recycled polyester — at 60 g/m² across the body. Every seam is sealed, and the lining is body mapped, combining a plain polyamide lining with a stretch panel lining of 89% polyamide and 11% elastane where you move most.
Is this jacket right for a week on the piste?
Yes — resort skiing is what the Whitelight APX insulated ski jacket is set up for. The fixed hood fits over a ski helmet and has a laminated brim and Cohæsive™ cord hardware, the fixed powder skirt snaps into compatible Peak Performance ski pants, and there is a dedicated ski pass pocket plus zippered chest, hand and inner pockets. Elastic wrist gaiters with thumbholes seal under gloves, and the sleeve hems adjust with velcro straps. A RECCO® Rescue System reflector is built in for the occasional run off-piste inside the resort. Where it stops: there is no waist hem drawcord, so adjustment happens at the hood and cuffs only, and the 60 g/m² figure covers the body — for long static spells in deep cold you will want a warmer midlayer underneath.
What is it made of and how do you wash it?
The 4-way stretch face fabric and elastane content in the lining and pocket bags give the jacket give when you reach, and the recycled polyamide face is the hard-wearing part that takes chairlift and backpack contact. Machine wash at 30°C on a delicate cycle with similar colours, zippers closed, and take the goggle wiper cloth out first. Skip fabric softener and bleach, remove the jacket from the drum promptly and do not wring it. A low tumble dry after washing helps reactivate the water repellent treatment on the face fabric. Do not iron, do not dry clean and keep it out of direct sunlight when drying.
What about the sustainability side?
The Whitelight APX jacket is made without intentionally added PFAS. The insulation filling is 100% recycled polyester and the shell face fabric is 88% recycled polyamide.
