Roxy Ski

Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I choose between Roxy's insulated jackets like the Peakside Insulated Jacket and lighter shells like the GORE-TEX® LUNALITE 3L JK?

  Insulated models such as the Peakside Insulated Jacket and the Jetty Insulated Snowboard Jacket include built-in WarmFlight® or down warmth, making them better for cold resort days and low-intensity outings. The GORE-TEX® LUNALITE 3L JK is a true 3‑layer shell with a GORE‑TEX membrane that prioritizes waterproofing and breathability for high-output skiing or wet conditions and layers well underneath. Pick an insulated jacket when you want integrated warmth and a shell when you need maximum weather protection and layering flexibility.
• What do Roxy's WarmFlight® x1/x2/x3 insulation levels mean, and when should I choose down instead?

  WarmFlight® x1/x2/x3 denotes increasing levels of synthetic insulation warmth and compressibility, with higher numbers delivering more loft and thermal performance. Synthetic WarmFlight® retains insulating properties when wet and is easier to care for, while down typically offers the best warmth-to-weight in dry, very cold conditions. Choose WarmFlight® for wet climates or variable conditions and down when maximum warmth with minimal bulk is the priority and moisture exposure is low.
• Do Roxy ski jackets have helmet‑compatible hoods and work with ski pants to keep snow out?

  Many Roxy jackets feature adjustable, helmet‑compatible hoods with soft chin guards and breathing holes for comfort and reduced chafing, and several models include a powder skirt/gaiter with fixed snaps or a removable design. Roxy also integrates jacket‑to‑pant connection loops to create a secure snow seal when paired with compatible pants. These features combined with glove‑friendly zippers and storm flaps help maintain warmth and keep snow out on powder days.
• How should I pick the right fit and size for Roxy ski jackets?

  Roxy offers slim, regular, and loose fits to suit different body shapes and layering needs: slim for a streamlined look with less room for heavy layers, regular for balanced layering, and loose for maximum mobility and insulation space. Sizes typically run from XS to L; choose your usual size for similar layering, or size up if you plan thick midlayers or prefer more room. Always consult the specific model’s sizing guide and reviews for fit nuances between collections like BOUNDLESS SNOW and PEAK CHIC.
• How do features like ventilation, fully taped seams, and PFC‑FREE DWR affect on‑snow performance?

  Mesh‑backed pit vents and zipper vents let excess heat and moisture escape during high exertion, improving comfort and breathability on long tours or warm spring days. Fully taped seams and a GORE‑TEX® 3‑layer membrane provide reliable water entry protection, while PFC‑FREE DWR on the outer fabric sheds surface moisture without legacy PFAS treatments. Prioritize vents for aerobic skiing, taped seams for consistently wet conditions, and durable water repellency for easier maintenance and long‑term weather resistance.
