DWR, or Durable Water Repellent, is a special coating applied to fabrics that helps them resist water. It causes water to bead up and roll off the surface instead of soaking in, keeping you dry in wet conditions. This treatment is essential for outdoor gear, especially if you plan to be in rainy or snowy environments.

A waterproof rating of 20,000mm indicates that the fabric can withstand a water column of 20,000 millimeters before it starts to leak. This high rating means the jacket is suitable for heavy rain or snow, ensuring you stay dry even in challenging weather conditions.

The breathability rating, such as 20,000g/m², measures how well the fabric allows moisture vapor (like sweat) to escape. A higher rating means better ventilation, which is crucial for activities like skiing or snowboarding. It helps keep you comfortable by preventing sweat buildup while still protecting you from the elements.

A powder skirt is a feature in many ski jackets that helps prevent snow from entering the jacket. It is a removable fabric band that wraps around your waist and can be attached to your ski pants. This feature is especially useful in deep snow, as it keeps you warm and dry by blocking snow from getting inside your jacket.

To determine if a jacket is suitable for your activities, check its waterproof and breathability ratings, as well as features like DWR treatment and powder skirts. For high-intensity activities like skiing, look for a jacket with high breathability to manage sweat, and ensure it has a good waterproof rating to keep you dry in wet conditions.
