Mackage Ski

Frequently Asked Questions

• How should Mackage ski jackets and one‑piece suits fit, and should I size up for layering?

  Mackage favors a fitted silhouette designed for light layering, so if you plan to wear bulky midlayers you should consider sizing up. Many styles include adjustable belts, articulated sleeves and underarm panels to fine‑tune fit and mobility. The brand’s model example wears a size S at 5'11" with a 31" inseam, illustrating the closer cut.
• Which Mackage features help on‑piste performance and mobility?

  Key performance features include pit zips for ventilation, articulated sleeves and underarm panels for unrestricted movement, powder skirts and storm cuffs for snow protection, plus ski‑pass and chest pockets for easy access. Removable hoods and optional fur trim, along with tailored shaping, balance weather protection with alpine mobility.
• How does a Mackage one‑piece ski suit compare to a Mackage down ski jacket for cold‑weather skiing?

  A one‑piece suit offers sealed, full‑body coverage that’s excellent for deep powder and days when minimizing snow entry is a priority, while a down ski jacket is more versatile for layering, travel, and off‑slope wear. Both use high‑quality down and water‑resistant shells (some models rated for very cold temps), but jackets make it easier to adapt insulation levels with midlayers.
• How should I care for Mackage down ski jackets and suits to maintain loft and water repellency?

  Follow the garment care label and use a down‑specific detergent; machine wash gently and tumble dry low with dryer balls to help restore loft. Reapply a spray‑on or wash‑in DWR treatment as needed to refresh water repellency, and avoid harsh solvents or excessive dry‑cleaning that can degrade fill and finishes.
