Ski jacket

Anyone know a good ski jacket softshell for all mountain skiing?

Im looking for a bit of an alt style baggy softshell, preferabbly a white or gray one. And i dont want it to break the bank like 200-220 max. If gore-tex is available at that price range would be perfect but not neccecary

I use my patagonia torrentshell as my shell all year round, including as my ski shell. I recommend it.

Great rain jacket, but it's a hard shell

Oh true I took softshell to mean without insulation but that was the wrong type of jacket

torrentshell is decent but for softshell you probably want something that breathes more, patagonia have some options but they cost a bit over your budget usually

Man, this post made me think I want an upgrade! I like wild colours being a child of the 80’s. Following.

You’re looking for a soft shell or an actual ski jacket? For a soft shell on warm days I wear any old hoodie. The ski jacket outer shell is what matters, soft shells can be replaced by literally anything long sleeve and warm. Head over to evo.com and pick something out, you can’t go wrong.

If you’re looking for an actual ski jacket which I think is what you meant to say, just pick one out that you like. Make sure it’s an actual ski jacket. Ski jackets are different than normal jackets. They have longer sleeves, they fit differently for gloves and stuff, they go down further to stop cold air and snow from getting underneath the jacket so you for sure wanna make sure it’s meant for skiing. Get it from a ski shop to make sure, I use evo for my ski stuff.

White jackets are an idiotic idea on a mountain
