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.

- 60 g/m² Solarcore® insulation in the body
- Leg gussets switch slim to bootleg over boots
- Cordura® at the lower leg plus snow gaiters
- No vent zips: heat cannot be dumped on warm days
- 10,000 mm is mid-level, not storm-grade
- Slim cut: little room for thick layers beneath
The Peak Performance Whitelight HIPE® 2L Insulated Shell Pants are insulated women's ski pants for resort days, built on a two-layer HIPE® hydrophobic PU membrane with a 10,000 mm water column and 60 g/m² of synthetic insulation in the body. What sets them apart are the zippered leg gussets: they open the lower leg from a slim silhouette to a bootleg cut, so the hem clears a ski boot without the rest of the pant going baggy. The construction is fully seam sealed and includes snow gaiters and a RECCO® reflector.
Who are these ski pants for?
These are for a woman who skis lift-served days and wants a warm, close-cut ski pant rather than a light touring shell: piste skiing, everyday winter wear and the occasional run off-piste at the resort. They are not built for high-output ski touring, because the 60 g/m² body insulation is fixed and there are no thigh or side vents to dump heat on the way up. Long static hours in severe frost also ask for more than 60 g/m² in the body.
How warm and how waterproof are the Whitelight HIPE® 2L Insulated Shell Pants?
The HIPE® membrane is rated at 10,000 mm water column and 10,000 g/m²/24h breathability, which is mid-range protection: fine for snow, wind and passing showers, less convincing in sustained heavy rain or a long wet spring day. Warmth comes from Solarcore® and Pinneco Mantle™ insulation at 60 g/m² in the body, with a filling of 100% recycled polyester. All seams on these Peak Performance ski pants are sealed.
Which size should you choose?
The fit is slim, so check the size chart on this page against your own measurements before ordering. Velcro straps and elastic at the back waistband fine-tune the waist, loops inside take suspenders, and inner stretch panels plus a body mapped stretch lining allow movement. Available in XS to XL. With the slim cut there is limited room for a thick insulated pant underneath; a single thin base layer is what this pant is cut for.
How is the HIPE® 2L construction of these ski pants built up?
The Peak Performance Whitelight HIPE® 2L Insulated Shell Pants combine a two-layer shell with a fixed insulation layer. The face fabric is 88% recycled polyamide with 12% elastane, bonded to a 100% polyurethane HIPE® hydrophobic membrane rated 10,000 mm water column and 10,000 g/m²/24h, and every seam is sealed. Behind the membrane sits 60 g/m² of synthetic insulation in the body — Solarcore® and Pinneco Mantle™, with a filling of 100% recycled polyester. A body mapped stretch lining (100% polyamide, and a 89% polyamide / 11% elastane panel) sits against the leg, and the water-repellent finish on the face fabric is made without intentionally added PFAS. Because the insulation is built in, it cannot be taken out when the day warms up.
What do these ski pants do on a resort day?
On the piste, the Whitelight HIPE® 2L Insulated Shell Pants from Peak Performance are set up for lift-served skiing. Snow gaiters with anti-slip elastic seal the hem over a ski boot, Cordura® reinforcement at the lower leg takes the abuse of boot buckles and edges, and the zippered leg gussets let you switch between a slim and a bootleg silhouette depending on the boot. A RECCO® Rescue System reflector supports organised searches in off-piste terrain at the resort. Two zippered hand pockets, a zip fly with a hook-and-eye closure, velcro waist straps and suspender loops cover the practical side. Where they stop: there are no ventilation zips, so a warm spring afternoon or a long walk back to the lift builds heat you cannot release, and the 10,000 mm rating is sized for snow rather than hours of driving rain.
What are these ski pants made of and how do you wash them?
Elastane in the face fabric and in part of the lining gives the Peak Performance Whitelight HIPE® 2L Insulated Shell Pants their stretch, polyamide carries the abrasion resistance, and Cordura® at the lower leg takes the wear that ends most ski pants. Machine wash at 40°C on a delicate cycle, inside out, with all zippers closed and with similar colours. Use a technical detergent rather than a standard one, skip the fabric softener and the bleach, and take the pants out of the machine promptly. A tumble dry on low after washing helps keep the water-repellent treatment working; line drying in the shade is the alternative. Iron cool if needed, and do not dry clean or professional wet clean.
How sustainable are these ski pants?
Three points are concrete here: the insulation filling is 100% recycled polyester, the shell face fabric is 88% recycled polyamide, and the pants are made without intentionally added PFAS. Along with the Cordura® reinforcement at the lower leg, that is the longevity argument for these Peak Performance ski pants — the part that wears first is the part that is reinforced.
