A ski parka is a hooded, insulated jacket designed to protect skiers from cold, wind, and snow. Modern parkas pair breathable waterproof fabrics with down or synthetic insulation, helmet-compatible hoods, vents, and snow-management features.
Use a three-layer system - moisture-wicking base, insulating mid layer, and a breathable waterproof shell - and avoid cotton to stay warm and dry while skiing.
Modern women's snowboard pants combine waterproofing, breathability, and movement-friendly features. Choose insulated pants for cold days or shells for layering; look for articulated construction, reinforced zones, vents, and sustainable materials.
GORE-TEX uses a porous ePTFE membrane laminated to fabric to create waterproof, breathable linings in boots. Seamed tape, a DWR outer, and protective backers complete the system.
