Ski Jackets

Cold chairlifts, hot bowls of chili at the lodge, surprise spring sunshine: the right ski jackets handle it all. Bob's carries waterproof shells, insulated parkas, and 3-in-1 systems from Spyder, Obermeyer, and Helly Hansen. Once you've picked your layer, pair it with ski pants, boots, and goggles from our shop to put together a kit you'll wear from first chair to last run.

Types of Ski Jackets:

When selecting a ski jacket, you’ll choose among hardshell, softshell and insulated jackets, depending on your needs and the weather. A hardshell or “shell” jacket is weather resistant, providing the ultimate protection from the wind, snow or rain. This type of ski jacket will be the most waterproof, breathable and versatile option.  Wear a shell by itself on warmer days and layer with baselayers and midlayers on colder days. A softshell jacket is made up of stretchier and lighter material to provide more breathability, but will not be as resistant to the elements. An insulated jacket is essentially an all-in-one jacket for the coldest of days, as it comes with an outer layer lined with differing levels of insulation. The insulation used can be synthetic such as Primaloft, or natural such as down.
