Men's Ski Jacket

Ski garment is waterproof becasue there is a membrane layer inside, but the sewing damage the performance at seams. So to make it 100% waterproof, the seam must be taped to prevent rain and snow from penetrating. Taping is usually applied to the seams of ski clothing, such as cuffs, armpits, zippers, trouser legs, shoulder, etc. These parts are vulnerable to the intrusion of rain and snow, and lamination helps to enhance the waterproofing properties of these parts.

Shell ski jackets refer to hard shell jackets and soft shell jackets that have no insulation, which have very good breathability. These jackets are very suitable for skiing when it is not too cold. Insulated ski jacket refers to a ski jacket with padding and insulation, which has better thermal insulation effect, making them suitable for cold outdoor ski slopes.

Yes, ski garments must be waterproof. The fabrics used in manufacturing ski/snowboarding jackets are usually two layer fabric, that is, TPU membrane laminated fabrics that is waterproof and breathable, ensuring that they are not soaked by snow water. This helps keep your body dry and improves comfort.

Water-repellent is often written as splash-proof, which refers to the deposition of hydrophobic compounds on the surface of the fiber. There are pores on the fabric surface through which air and water vapor can pass. Generally, it will form water droplets the surface of the fabric (like lotus leaves). But it is not really waterproof. It reduces the water absorption of the fabric so that the water can be "pushed away" on the fabric surface. Water will still seep into the fabric if it stays for a very long time. The water-repellent effect of fabrics will also gradually weaken or even fail after washing and long-term use.

Waterproofing refers to making a waterproof base on the fabric backside, which is divided into two general types: coating and lamination. Coating is applying material on the backside, and lamination is applying a waterproof membrane on the backside. The waterproof membrane is laminated with the fabric itself through a pasting process to form a composite multi-layer fabric. The fabrics used to compound the film are not waterproof themselves, such as polyester fiber, nylon, etc., so when we wear waterproof jackets and encounter rainy days, you will see that the fabric surface is wet but the jacket inside is dry and no water penetrates over. This is the waterproof film in the middle of the composite fabric that is working.

Ski clothing is clothing worn during skiing. It is waterproof, breathable, windproof, warm, and wear-resistant.

Ski jackets are usually designed with reflective strips and reflective offset printing, which can improve safety in low-visibility conditions. The cuffs have thumb holes to prevent snow from entering the body through the cuffs; the bottom hem is designed with a snow skirt to prevent snow from soaking the clothes when slipping. In addition, the colors of ski suits are usually brighter, which makes sure one can be found if burried in the snow

The outer layer of ski clothing usually uses highly waterproof, breathable, windproof, wear-resistant and tear-resistant fabrics; the inner padding usually uses fake down or down with good warmth retention properties. These materials improve the warmth of the ski jackets and are breathable and moisture-permeable.

Ski jackets are suitable for all winter outdoor sports. Since ski jackets are windproof, rainproof, breathable, and warm, they can be worn for hiking and outdoor riding. It's also a good choice for daily commuting.

The performance level of ski jacket is usually measured by two indicators: waterproof index and breathability index.

Waterproof index (unit: mmH₂O, millimeter water column pressure): This is an indicator of the waterproof performance of the fabric. It indicates how much water pressure the fabric can withstand without penetrating within a certain time limit. For example, the fabric with a waterproof index of 10000mmH₂O can withstand a 10000mm water column for 24 hours, and no more than 3 drops of water will seep out of the fabric. Generally speaking:

The waterproof index of ordinary ski clothing is about 3000.

The waterproof index of professional ski clothing is about 5000.

The waterproof index of high-end ski clothing can even reach 10,000

Breathability index (unit: g/m²/24h, one gram of water vapor per square meter per day): This is measuring the breathability of fabrics. It indicates how many grams of water vapor can pass through an area of one square meter per day. The better the breathability, the better the water vapor discharges from the fabric surface. Generally speaking, qualified ski clothing should have:

Breathability is above 3000g/m²/24h.

This kind of performance can ensure that the wearer will not get wet when encountering heavy rain, while supporting the need for moderate exercise perspiration.

Ski suits are suitable for people of all ages. Loto Garment has ski suits and jumpsuits specially designed for children and teenagers. However, there are a lot more styles for adults than for children. Loto Garment has a professional designer team. Regardless of the needs of any age group, Loto designers can provide optimal solutions.

Waterproof: Ski clothing needs to have good waterproof properties to protect the body from rain and snow.

Breathable: Human body generates a lot of heat when skiing, so ski wear needs to have good breathability to discharge moisture from the body and remain comfort. The better the breathability, the better it can adapt to environments of different temperatures and exercise intensity.

Warmth: The thermal layer of ski wear needs to maintain stable body heat. Light down jackets, polar fleece, etc. are all good thermal layers.

Durability: The fabric of a ski jacket needs to be durable, and common options include nylon and polyester.
