Mountain Waterproof Ski Jacket Windproof Rain Windbreaker Winter Warm Hooded Snow Coat, Black

The Shell: Triple-Layer Defense Technology

The exterior of this jacket is more than just a fabric; it is a sophisticated barrier system. Constructed from high-density Ripstop Polyester, the shell features a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating that causes moisture to bead and roll off instantly.

• 10,000mm Waterproof Rating: This jacket is designed to withstand heavy snow and moderate rain, keeping you bone-dry even during a full day on the slopes.

• Windproof Membrane: The fabric is laminated with a microscopic membrane that blocks 100% of wind chill while allowing internal moisture (sweat) to escape.

• Abrasion Resistance: The “Black-Out” exterior is engineered to resist tears from ski edges, ice shards, or rugged mountain terrain.

The Core: Advanced Thermal Insulation

To combat the biting cold of the peaks, the Summit Shield utilizes a multi-stage warming system:

1. High-Loft Synthetic Fill: We use a specialized 240g/m² polyester fiberfill that mimics the heat-trapping properties of down but maintains its insulating power even if it gets damp.

2. Heat-Reflective Lining: The interior features a thermal-silver honeycomb lining that reflects your body’s own heat back toward you, creating a self-sustaining microclimate.

3. Soft Fleece Mid-Layer: The collar and upper back are lined with premium brushed micro-fleece to provide instant comfort and prevent “cold-shocks” when you first zip up.

Strategic Alpine Features

Every inch of this jacket has been optimized for the requirements of professional skiers and mountaineers.

• The Storm Hood: A fully adjustable, helmet-compatible hood with a stiffened “brim” to keep snow out of your goggles. It is also removable for clearer days.

• Snow Skirt (Powder Guard): An internal elasticized skirt with snap closures that creates a seal around your waist, preventing snow from flying up into your jacket during a wipeout.

• Adjustable Cuffs & Thumbholes: Stretchable wrist gaiters with thumbholes seal the gap between your jacket and gloves, ensuring no wind or snow can penetrate the sleeves.

• Underarm Ventilation: Integrated “Pit-Zips” with mesh backing allow you to dump excess heat quickly during intense runs without exposing yourself to the elements.

Optimized Storage: The Utility System

Whether you are on the lift or the trail, your essentials need to be accessible.

• Ski Pass Pocket: A dedicated zippered pocket on the left forearm for seamless RFID scanning at the gates.

• Internal Media Pocket: A secure, heated pocket for your smartphone to prevent battery drain in cold temperatures.

• Large Goggle Pocket: An internal mesh pocket designed to store your goggles or gloves when not in use.

• Dual Zippered Hand-Warmers: Lined with fleece to thaw frozen fingers instantly.

Fit & Ergonomics: Movement Without Limits

Despite its heavy-duty protection, the Mountain Pro is designed with 3D-Ergonomic Mapping.

• Articulated Elbows: The sleeves are pre-curved to follow the natural bend of your arms, allowing for total pole-planting freedom.

• The “Black-Out” Aesthetic: The deep, matte black finish provides a professional, tactical look that hides dirt and looks just as good in the city as it does at the lodge.

• Adjustable Hem: A cinch-cord system at the waist allows you to tighten the jacket for a “bomber” fit or loosen it for extra layering.

Care & Maintenance for the Long Haul

To preserve the waterproof membrane and DWR coating:

1. Machine Wash Cold: Use a specialized technical wash (like Nikwax) rather than standard detergent.

2. Low Heat Dry: Tumble drying on low for 20 minutes can actually “reactivate” the DWR coating.

3. Avoid Softeners: Never use fabric softeners, as they clog the breathable pores of the membrane.

The Verdict

The Mountain Waterproof Ski Jacket is the ultimate “Triple Threat”: It is a raincoat, a windbreaker, and a winter parka all in one. Whether you are carving through fresh powder in the Alps or commuting through a city blizzard, this jacket ensures that you remain warm, dry, and focused on the journey ahead.
