Men's Ski Jackets
Why choose Rehall men's ski jackets?
Rehall men's ski jackets combine technical performance with modern designs for winter sports enthusiasts who prioritize functionality. All jackets in this collection are waterproof, with water column values between 1,000 and 20,000 mm depending on the model. Breathable materials wick away moisture to prevent overheating during intense descents, while the windproof construction protects you from cold mountain winds.
Practical details make the difference. Think of Velcro straps at the wrists for a snug seal, inner pockets for your ski pass and phone, and adjustable hoods that fit over your helmet. The regular fit offers freedom of movement without excess fabric. From piste to powder and from beginner skier to experienced freerider: there is a model that suits your way of skiing.
How do you choose the right men's ski jacket?
You choose the right ski jacket based on four factors: water column, insulation, the type of skiing you do, and the weather conditions you expect.
Start with the water column. For dry slopes and stable weather, 1,000 to 3,000 mm is sufficient. In changeable weather, choose 5,000 to 10,000 mm. For intensive use in wet snow or rain, 15,000 to 20,000 mm is recommended, such as with the men's DXR ski jackets from the premium collection.
Next, pay attention to insulation. For active skiers who move a lot, a lightly lined jacket with 60 to 80 g/m² insulation is often enough, as your body produces its own heat. Models with 150 g/m² or more are heavily lined and keep you warm on cold days or if you take regular breaks. Prefer to be flexible? Combine a lighter ski jacket with a fleece or thermal shirt underneath.
Breathability is crucial during intense skiing. Materials that wick away perspiration keep you dry on the inside. Always check the size guide to determine the right size: a well-fitting jacket prevents snow from getting inside and gives you the freedom of movement you need for technical descents.
What types of men's ski jackets does Rehall offer?
Rehall offers three main categories of men's ski jackets, each with its own area of application.
Hardshell jackets are uninsulated, waterproof jackets that offer protection against wind and precipitation without extra warmth. These models are ideal for active skiers who warm up quickly or like to layer their clothing. Hardshells are lighter and more compact, allowing you to react flexibly to changing temperatures.
Lined ski jackets combine a water-repellent outer fabric with insulation material on the inside. This is a practical all-in-one solution if you don't want to deal with multiple layers. Most lined models in the collection have insulation between 60 and 220 g/m². Values above 150 g/m² fall into the heavily lined category and are suitable for very cold conditions. Models with 200 g/m² or more behave like a thick winter coat.
Anoraks and overshirts are a distinct style choice. You pull an anorak over your head and it often has a half-zip, which provides a sporty look with less zipper vulnerability. Models like overshirts are suitable for milder ski conditions or as an extra layer.
What makes the DXR collection special?
The DXR collection is Rehall's premium line, developed for advanced skiers who demand maximum protection. DXR jackets typically have a water column of 15,000 to 20,000 mm and use high-quality materials with full seam taping. This offers reliable protection, even in extreme weather conditions.
Extra features like ventilation zippers, stretch panels for unrestricted freedom of movement, and refined detail finishing distinguish this line from the standard collection. Looking for the best possible waterproof ski clothing from Rehall? Then DXR is the logical choice. Combine a DXR jacket with men's DXR ski pants for a fully coordinated system with the same technical specs.
Waterproof, breathable, and windproof: what does that mean?
A water column indicates how much water pressure a fabric can withstand before moisture penetrates through it. This is measured in millimeters. At 5,000 mm, the fabric stops light rain and dry snow. At 10,000 mm, you are protected against prolonged precipitation. Values from 15,000 to 20,000 mm offer protection in the harshest conditions, including wet snow and persistent rain.
Breathability determines how well the fabric transports perspiration away from your body to the outside. Without good breathability, you will feel clammy inside, especially during physical exertion such as intense skiing. The higher the breathability value, the more effective the moisture management.
Windproofing acts as a barrier against cold mountain winds that cause your body temperature to drop rapidly. All Rehall ski jackets are windproof, so wind chill cannot affect you. The combination of these three properties determines how comfortably your ski jacket performs under different conditions.
Which fit suits you?
Regular fit is the standard fit for most Rehall men's ski jackets. This offers enough room for a midlayer underneath without the jacket being too wide. You maintain full freedom of movement while skiing, whether you are carving turns on the slopes or navigating through powder.
The baggy fit is cut looser and has a relaxed look that is popular with freestyle skiers and snowboarders. This silhouette provides extra room around the upper body and works well with thicker layers underneath.
Doubting your size? Always check the size guide on the product page. Measure your chest, waist, and hips and compare these to the size chart. A well-fitting ski jacket seals at the wrists (with the Velcro straps), hips, and neck so that no snow can enter.
Maintaining your ski jacket: how to make it last longer
Wash your ski jacket at 30°C with a mild detergent without fabric softener. Fabric softener damages the water-repellent layer, causing your jacket to let moisture through faster. Do not use a tumble dryer unless the washing instructions on the label allow it.
After a season of intensive use, the water-repellent layer may diminish. Restore it easily with the Rehall Go Dry Water Repellent Spray. Spray the clean, dry jacket and let it dry completely before storing it. Store your ski jacket on a hanger in a dry room, not in a plastic bag. This prevents odors and preserves the material's properties.
Combine your ski jacket with the right ski pants
A complete outfit protects you better than individual pieces. Combine your ski jacket with ski pants that have the same or a similar water column. If your jacket has a 15,000 mm water column but your pants only 3,000 mm, your lower body will become the weak link in bad weather.
Many Rehall ski jackets have a snow gaiter on the inside that you can attach to your pants. This prevents snow from getting in during a fall. Looking for a set with the same technical specifications? Then choose a jacket and pants from the same collection line. Looking for boys' ski jackets or women's fashion ski jackets too? Check out the corresponding collections for the whole family.
Frequently asked questions about men's ski jackets
What water column do I need for a ski jacket?
For recreational skiing on the slopes, 5,000 to 10,000 mm is sufficient. If you often ski in changeable weather or go off-piste, then 15,000 to 20,000 mm is recommended. Rehall's DXR collection offers models with up to 20,000 mm water column.
How do I know which size ski jacket to choose?
Always consult the size guide on the product page. Measure your chest circumference, waist size, and hips and compare them to the size chart. Take into account any midlayer you might wear under your jacket.
What is the difference between a hardshell and a lined ski jacket?
A hardshell is an uninsulated, waterproof jacket that you combine with separate layers underneath. A lined ski jacket has built-in insulation and provides warmth without extra clothing. Hardshells are more flexible in changing temperatures; lined models are more practical as an all-in-one solution.
How often should I waterproof my ski jacket?
Waterproof your ski jacket at least once per season, or more often if you notice that water no longer beads off the outer fabric. Use a water-repellent spray suitable for technical ski clothing for this.
Can I also wear a Rehall ski jacket as a winter coat in the city?
Many Rehall models have a contemporary design that works well off the slopes too. Models from the streetwear line and lined jackets with 150 g/m² insulation or more are excellent as an everyday winter coat.
Do Rehall ski jackets have cuffs?
Rehall ski jackets do not have traditional cuffs but Velcro straps at the wrists. These offer an adjustable seal that you can tighten over your gloves or loosen for ventilation.
