Salomon Highland Jacket — Men’s Ski

FAQ

Q1: How does Salomon sizing run — true to size, or should I size up/down (and does it accommodate a base/mid-layer)?
The Highland has a regular fit, and most skiers will find it true to size. The stretch fabric adds comfort and freedom of movement. Since the jacket is already insulated, most people only need a base layer underneath, with a light mid-layer on the coldest days. We recommend trying it on in-store over the layers you usually ski in so you can find the right size.

Q2: Is this jacket warm and waterproof enough for skiing at Big White and SilverStar?
For typical Okanagan conditions, yes. Its 10,000mm AdvancedSkin Dry fabric repels snow, wind, and passing showers, which suits the cold, dry snow our local resorts are known for. The PrimaLoft Eco Black insulation keeps you warm on cold chairlift rides, and the powder skirt helps seal out snow on deeper days. If you regularly ski long days in heavy, wet storms, ask our staff about jackets with a higher waterproof rating.

Q3: How do I care for AdvancedSkin Dry fabric and PrimaLoft insulation to maintain waterproofing and breathability?
Close all zippers, then machine wash cold (30°C) with like colours. Don’t use fabric softener, which can clog the fabric and reduce breathability. Don’t bleach or dry clean the jacket. Tumble dry on low and remove it from the dryer right away, which also helps the synthetic insulation regain its loft.
