HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT WINTER JACKET

Some wear only one jacket all winter. Others alternate between 2 or 3 jackets. It’s important to consider the temperature (obviously) and what you intend to do with your ski jacket. For example, for an intense day of cross-country skiing, even if it’s -20°C, you’ll opt for a thin windproof coat. On the other hand, we’ll usually prefer a long, thick and well-insulated jacket for an evening stroll in the city.

Make sure you get a waterproof outer shell.

During winter, you will need a water proof coat. You do not want a coat that will get damaged by snow and rain. Make sure the outer shell of any coat you choose is marked as water resistant.

• Check the label to see if the coat’s material is waterproof. You should also see how many layers of waterproof material cover the coat. The more layers, the better protection you will have against water.
• Materials that feel similar to a rain coat are more likely to block out water.
• Make sure your coat is insulated. Not all coats, like wool and leather coats, have insulation. This may be important if you live in a very cold area.

Select the right type of insulation – St Louis Blues NHL Logo Black 2D Leather Jacket

There are three types of insulation for a winter coat: down, synthetic, and pile fabric.

• Down is a classic insulator, and is great for providing warmth in the winter. The main downside, however, is that it does not hold up as well against moisture.
• Synthetic fibers tend to hold up better against moisture. However, synthetic fibers do not last as long as other options.
• Pile fabric is similar to sheep’s wool. It is water resistant and lasts longer than synthetic fabric. However, it’s difficult to make a very thick coat with synthetic fabric.

Look at zippers and cuffs.

• Sometimes, fabrics in coats are waterproof but the zippers are not.
• Avoid coats with excessive hardware (zippers and buttons). Get something simple instead.
