If you plan to ski on particularly cold days, you’ll want a heavy-duty ski jacket. The best kinds include a shell that’s waterproof, windproof and breathable, plus an insulated lining to keep you warm. They should also include multiple pockets for storing small essentials, hoods for protection and built-in thumb holder cuffs to supply extra hand coverage. With this in mind, we selected three ski jackets for men that are perfect for hitting the mountain, or even for everyday wear in especially frigid climates.
