Features that you should take into account before buying a ski or snow jacket
Waterproof, one of the most important things
When we ski or snow, we are in constant contact with snow, which, after all, is water. That is why a ski or snow jacket it is important that it is waterproof enough so that we do not get wet.
It is important that you know the use that you are going to give it, because the more you use it, the more waterproof it should be, since over time it loses that characteristic. The jackets range from 5,000 mm of waterproofing up to 28,000, this being the highest.
Fabrics must be of quality
It all depends on our budget and the use that we are going to give the jacket, since the higher the quality, the more expensive it will be. Tell you that if you are going to use it a lot, you choose to invest a little more money and buy a jacket that you know will accompany you in many seasons.
The quality of the jacket will depend on the degree of insulation, the seams, the fabric used to make it and the closure systems, something very important to take into account if we do not want snow to enter us.
Breathability, a quality that we cannot pass for something
This characteristic is highly sought after in sportswear, since perspiring well means that we will stay dry at all times. And in a place with low temperatures, it is really important.
The breathability of clothing is measured in grams, where 5,000 grams is a low breathability and 20,000 is the highest.
In addition, the more breathability and ventilation the jacket has, the fewer layers you will have to wear, with which, less discomfort you will feel when you get warm.
