Water resistance of ski jackets

Depending on the conditions you expect, you can choose different levels of waterproofness. Low waterproof jackets are usually lightweight and inexpensive, perfect if you are looking at park sessions or a few late-season runs. Intermediate waterproofs, between 10k and 20k, are the ideal range for truly complete jackets. Above 20k these are truly top products for heavy use. Often these top jackets are also combined with great fabric breathability, and snowboarders, freeriders and athletes will really appreciate these jackets.
