Riley Womens Waterproof Down Fill Ski Jacket

If you want a full-featured ski jacket that you can wear long after you've left the slopes, this is a great choice. Designed to see you through the most demanding days on and off the mountains, it has reinforced panels on the elbows. Made from a hardwearing ripstop fabric, if you get a snag by skiing too close to a fence post or walking past a bramble bush, you won't find a tiny hole turning into a big tear.
Whatever the weather, you can rely on this jacket to keep you just the right temperature and completely dry. Real down filling helps you stay warm in a blizzard, and when the sun comes out you can unzip the ventilation holes under the arms to cool down. It won't let in a drop of rain?á- even the chunky full length zip is waterproof - so you'll stay dry in a deluge, and as the fabric is also breathable, you'll never feel clammy inside.
As a high performance ski jacket, you'll find all the features that make life on the slopes much easier, including a pocket on the sleeve for your ski pass, an inner mesh pocket for your goggles and a goggle wipe on elastic inside one of the inner zip up pockets. An inner snow skirt stops the cold stuff going up your back in a fall, and at the wrists it has soft, stretchy snow cuffs with thumbholes to fill the gap between jacket and gloves. The hood is big enough to go over a helmet, but if you're not wearing one you can tighten it up to fit snugly round your face to keep off the wind and rain.
But this robust, machine washable jacket really comes into its own when you get home and get months of wear from it, hiking, cycling or just making a trip to the supermarket more bearable when the heavens have opened.
