What you expect from a high-performance cross-country ski jacket

A women's cross-country ski jacket must meet specific needs to accompany you on your outings. Unlike alpine skiing, Nordic skiing generates a lot of heat, making excellent breathability essential. It's simply the key to staying dry and comfortable during your activity. Available in several colors and sizes, our models easily adapt to all body shapes for constant comfort. All you have to do is choose from our wide range of specially selected products.

Technical innovations at the service of your comfort

Breathability remains the number one criterion for wicking away moisture during exercise. The highest-performing membranes exceed 10,000 g/m²/24h, guaranteeing comfort even during the most intense efforts. With this in mind, insulation must be strategically placed for maximum efficiency.

• Windproof protection at the front to withstand harsh conditions and icy winds
• Ventilated zones in the back and under the arms for optimal perspiration wicking
• Lightweight thermal materials that retain heat without adding weight to your equipment
• Four-way stretch panels ensure unrestricted movement, even the most expansive.
• Softshell fabrics to combine flexibility and protection against the elements

These technologies are particularly well designed to meet all uses, from leisurely strolls to intensive training.

Details that make all the difference

The fitted cut without compression allows you to move naturally, which is essential for Nordic skiing. The stretch materials are simply perfect for freedom of movement. You'll certainly appreciate the meticulous finishing touches that enhance your experience.

• Elasticated cuffs with thumb loops on some models
• High chin guard to prevent irritation with the zipper
• Removable or adjustable hood to adapt to weather conditions
• Conveniently placed zippered pockets to keep your belongings safe
• Reflective elements for visibility during early morning or late-night outings

Enough to spend hours on the slopes in complete comfort, whatever the conditions.

Choose carefully according to your practice and skill level.

It's easier to make the right choice when you know your specific needs. Your riding style, skill level, and weather conditions will determine the appropriate model. Most regular riders need several jackets to adapt to all situations. With prices to suit every budget, you're sure to find what you're looking for in our comprehensive collection.

For classic cross-country skiing: comfort and protection

Classic skiing requires slightly more thermal protection because movements are more regular and less explosive. Softshell models with a thin fleece lining are particularly well-suited to this type of skiing. For those with more demanding needs, here's what we recommend depending on the conditions:

• A technical vest to wear under a windbreaker in very cold weather, ideal for adjusting your level of protection.
• Hybrid models to easily adapt to changing weather conditions during an outing
• Matching trousers for complete and harmonious protection of your outfit
• Jackets with zippered ventilation to easily manage your body temperature

This is what you would expect from a complete outfit to fully enjoy your classic outings.

For dynamic skating: maximum lightness and breathability

Skating generates more heat and requires a greater range of motion. With this in mind, opt for ultra-lightweight jackets with strategically placed mesh panels. Hybrid models, windproof at the front and breathable at the back, are simply ideal for this demanding sport. Here are our recommendations for optimizing your gear:

• Minimalist jackets for very intense efforts and competitions
• Models with full zip for quick ventilation adjustment
• Technical fabrics that dry quickly between sessions

FAQ: Everything you need to know to choose the right cross-country ski jacket

How to adapt your jacket to changing weather conditions?

It's easier than it seems with the right guidance! For mild temperatures (0°C to -5°C) with sustained exertion, a lightweight softshell jacket is more than enough to protect you. Between -5°C and -15°C, hybrid windproof models work wonders, combining protection and breathability. Below -15°C or for more leisurely outings, opt for a more insulating jacket with a fleece lining; you'll then be able to enjoy your outings with complete peace of mind. The layering system remains the best solution for easy adaptation.

What size should I order for a perfect fit?

Most of the time, your usual size will fit our models perfectly. The jacket should allow you to wear a thermal layer underneath without feeling tight or creating unsightly creases. Simply check these essential points:

• The sleeves cover the wrists well, even with arms extended forward.
• The back remains protected in the skiing position, without rising
• The zipper closes easily without excessive tension.
• The shoulders fall naturally without hindering movement

If you are unsure between two sizes, our customer service is here to advise you and help you make the best choice.

Should you choose a waterproof or highly breathable jacket for cross-country skiing?

For cross-country skiing, breathability is more important than waterproofing in most cases. A membrane that's too waterproof can create an unpleasant "sauna" effect during exertion. Instead, opt for jackets with a water-repellent treatment and excellent breathability. For days with snow or light rain, a softshell jacket with a breathable membrane offers the best compromise between protection and comfort.

Care instructions to keep your jacket looking like new season after season

To preserve the technical performance of your jacket and extend its lifespan, follow these simple but essential recommendations:

• Wash at 30°C with a special technical detergent, without fabric softener which could clog the pores of the fabric
• Zippers closed and Velcro fastened before washing to prevent snags
• Air dry or machine wash on low heat, depending on the model and manufacturer's recommendations.
• Reactivate the water repellency with a suitable spray after approximately 5-10 washes.
• Store in a dry, well-ventilated place, preferably on a hanger.

With these few simple steps, your jacket will accompany you for many seasons and retain all its technical qualities.
