Techs
Waterproof Out Fabric
8K waterproof - dry protection for every run
Breathable Membrane
Makes the garment breathable, keeping you dry on the slopes
Fully Taped Seams
Seam-sealed with watherproof tape to lock out water
Details
Snap-off hood design lets you remove the entire hood for thorough cleaning, maintaining
Innovative rear zip allows quick bathroom visits without removing the entire suit.
Inner snow skirt at the cuffs to prevent snow from entering and keep you warm and dry.
2L or 3L? What's the Difference?
Discover the difference between 2-layer and 3-layer designs with ChillCarve. Choose the perfect balance of durability and comfort for your needs.
2L and 3L refer to the number of structural layers in the outermost part of a snow jacket. The main difference lies in whether there is a third inner layer tightly bonded to the second breathable membrane. This affects breathability, durability, weight, and comfort.
Compare the Fabric
| Comparison Criteria | 2L Fabric | 3L Fabric |
|---|---|---|
| Definition of Layers | 2L and 3L refer to the layers of the outermost fabric, not the entire garment. They define fabric construction, affecting waterproofness, breathability, durability, and comfort. | |

How to Choose Your Perfect Ones?
We highly recommend that you choose the right snow clothing for your needs and don't just stick to the parameters!
Waterproof Ratings: Know Your Weather
Water resistance is measured in millimetres (e.g., 8,000mm, 20,000mm) – higher numbers don’t always mean better performance.
- Beginner/resort skiing (gentle slopes, dry snow): 8,000-1,000mm is sufficient for light snowfalls.
- Multi-day trips/wet snow regions: Aim for 10,000-15,000mm with fully sealed seams.
- Backcountry/storm conditions: 20,000mm+ for heavy snow or rain.
Pro tip: Most resort skiers don’t need max waterproof ratings – proper seam sealing matters more than chasing numbers.

Breathability: Match Your Effort Level
Balancing waterproofing and airflow prevents sweat buildup:
- Casual skiing: Moderate breathability (5,000-8,000g/m²) works for relaxed runs.
- Intensive skiing (off-piste, moguls): Prioritize high breathability (10,000g/m²+) to avoid overheating.
Key fact: Breathable fabric alone won’t keep you dry—pair it with moisture-wicking base layers.

Warmth Strategy: Layer Smartly
Ski jackets themselves don’t provide warmth—insulation comes from mid-layers!
- Thin shell jackets (non-insulated): Ideal for most skiing—add/remove mid-layers as needed.
- Insulated jackets: Suitable for cold (-15°C or below) or low-activity skiing, temperature tolerance depends on the type and thickness of the insulation.

Hidden Essentials
- Mobility-friendly design: Sleeves should cover wrists when stretched forward.
- Weight matters: Under 800g jackets reduce fatigue for active skiers.
- Ventilation zips: Underarm/chest vents help regulate temperature during variable weather.
- Reinforced zones: Look for abrasion-resistant panels on knees, elbows, and seat areas.
- Snow seal: Detachable inner snow skirts keep powder out without restricting movement.

Three-Layer System
The concept of the three-layer system originated from outdoor activities, designed to help people stay warm and dry in extreme weather conditions. Through a scientific layering approach, the base layer wicks moisture, the mid layer provides insulation, and the outer layer offers wind and water resistance while maintaining breathability. Although initially developed for mountaineering and exploration, this method is now widely used in sports like skiing, ensuring comfort and performance in various environments.
