Outdoor Research men’s ski and snowboard jackets cover both ways to build a kit: insulated resort jackets that bring the warmth with them, and waterproof shells built to run over down and fleece layers. From GORE-TEX 3L storm protection to packable down, every jacket is backed by the Infinite Guarantee.

Team-tested, rider-approved with pro-level durability and winter-ready performance.
The first ski jacket decision is not brand or color, it is insulated versus shell. Insulated jackets carry their own warmth for lift-served days; shells stay light and uncrowded so you set the warmth with layers underneath. This collection of men’s jackets covers both, for skiing and snowboarding alike.
For resort days, warmth you do not have to think about. Lightly insulated options are ideal for everyday resort use, while heavier insulation provides added warmth for storm-day chairlifts and colder conditions. If your season is lift-served, start here and add a midlayer only for the coldest weeks.
Shells trade built-in warmth for range. Storm shells provide reliable protection for resort and sidecountry use, while stretch and breathable options are designed for the skin track, where shedding heat on the climb matters as much as blocking snow on the descent.
Cold, dry days can skip the shell entirely. Lightweight insulated layers work as midlayers under a shell or as standalone jackets when the forecast holds. Warmth ratings and fabric details for every style are listed on its product page. For the full jacket collection, browse Men’s Outdoor Jackets, or see the whole kit in Men’s Ski & Snow.
Both need waterproofing, wind protection, and a hood that works with a helmet; snowboard styles have historically run longer and roomier while ski styles run trimmer. Every jacket in this collection works for both sports, so choose by fit and warmth rather than the label.
Match it to how you ride. Insulated jackets suit lift-served days where you sit still on chairs and want warmth built in. A shell suits changing effort, backcountry climbs, and spring conditions, because you adjust warmth with the layers underneath. If you split time between both, a shell plus a down midlayer covers the widest range.
Roomy enough for a midlayer without turning into a sail. Sleeves should reach your wrists with poles planted, the hem should stay put when you reach or tuck, and the hood should fit over a helmet and still turn with your head. Each product page lists the cut so you can match it to your layering.
Yes, and the insulated styles make particularly good ones: they are built for hours outside in wind and snow, which covers a commute or a snowy errand run easily. Shells work too when you pair them with a warm layer underneath. If everyday wear is the main job, pick an insulated style with a longer cut.
