TravisMathew Ski

Frequently Asked Questions

• How does TravisMathew jacket sizing run and what fit should I choose for layering?

  TravisMathew outerwear typically has a modern, tailored-yet-relaxed cut and generally runs true to size—e.g., a Large fits a 6'2", 210 lb athletic build. If you plan heavy layering under a jacket like the Mountain Pass Hooded Softshell, consider sizing up one for added mobility; for base layers or light midlayers, stick with your normal size.
• What features make the Mountain Pass Hooded Softshell Jacket warm enough for skiing?

  The Mountain Pass uses polyfill insulation and a quilted interior plus an interior ribbed collar and hidden ribbed storm cuffs to lock in heat and block drafts. Combined with its weather-resistant outer face and tailored construction, these elements make it better suited as an outer insulating layer in cold conditions while still allowing mobility.
• How does The Heater Polo compare to the Mountain Pass Hooded Softshell Jacket for winter activities?

  The Heater Polo is a lightweight performance layer—soft Pima-blend construction with moisture-wicking and breathability—designed for high-movement activities and on-course warmth, whereas the Mountain Pass is an insulated outer shell built for colder, windier conditions. Use the Heater Polo as a base or mid layer for agility and moisture management, and the Mountain Pass as your outer insulating piece when you need more warmth and weather protection.
• Are TravisMathew ski jackets breathable and good for high-output days on the mountain?

  Yes, many TravisMathew ski and cold-weather pieces are built with breathable, quick-dry fabrics and 4-way stretch to manage sweat and allow unrestricted movement during higher-output activities. For sustained aerobic efforts in very cold weather, pair breathable layers with an insulated outer like the Mountain Pass to balance ventilation and warmth.
• What should I check when choosing a TravisMathew jacket for versatility from active use to casual wear?

  Look for construction details such as 4-way stretch, moisture-wicking or quick-dry fabrics, polyfill insulation level (e.g., Mountain Pass for heavier warmth), and features like quilted interiors and storm cuffs for cold-weather seal. Also confirm the intended activity—lightweight Heater Polo pieces are ideal for layering and mobility, while softshells with insulation perform better as standalone outer layers in harsher conditions.
