What is a ski anorak?
Unlike a traditional ski jacket, the anorak is often more loose-fitting and less insulated, making it ideal to wear over several layers of clothing. A characteristic detail is the half zipper, but there are also anoraks without zippers.
A ski anorak is especially good for protecting against the wind, and it is also water-repellent. You can use the specified water column pressure to assess how waterproof a given anorak is. The water column pressure will usually be between 5,000 and 10,000 mm.
When is a ski anorak a good alternative to a normal ski jacket?
A ski anorak is a good alternative to a normal ski jacket when you, as a skier, want more flexibility regarding your ski clothing. It is ideal on days with changing weather, where layering is necessary. The anorak is particularly suitable for active skiers who generate a lot of heat and need better breathability.
Ski anoraks are also popular among off-piste skiers and snowboarders who appreciate the increased freedom of movement and the ability to adjust their clothing to different weather conditions.
We recommend that you have both a normal ski jacket and a ski anorak in your wardrobe. This way, you are well prepared for any ski trip, regardless of which destination you choose and when during the year you plan to ski.

What should I wear under my ski anorak?
For the absolute best comfort on the slopes, you should wear several layers under your ski anorak.
Start with a ski base layer made of moisture-wicking materials closest to your body. This layer keeps you dry by directing moisture away from the skin. On top of this, you can add a mid-layer / midlayer, such as a fleece sweater, which provides extra warmth without being too bulky. The fleece sweater acts as insulation and retains body heat while allowing breathability.
The layering principle, as it is called, allows you to adjust your clothing according to weather conditions and activity level. Smart, right?
