FAQs

How do I pick the right size kids ski jacket?
Look for a jacket with enough room for layering underneath without feeling too loose. Adjustable cuffs and hems can help extend the life of the jacket as your kid grows.
What's the difference between an insulated jacket and a shell?
An insulated jacket provides built-in warmth, making it a strong choice for cold conditions and long days on the mountain. A shell jacket relies on layering underneath, giving you more flexibility as the weather changes.
Do you carry ski jackets for toddlers?
Yes. Peter Glenn carries technical ski jackets for toddlers and kids of all ages, with options designed to provide warmth, protection, and a comfortable fit. Look for features like a soft neck lining, easy zippers, and waterproof construction to help handle snow days.
What should my kid wear with their ski jacket?
Pair the jacket with ski pants, base layers, gloves or mittens, and a helmet. This setup helps keep your child comfortable during a day of skiing while keeping snow out around the wrists, ankles, and waist.
What makes a good kids ski jacket?
A good jacket balances warmth, waterproofing, and durability. Look for a waterproof jacket with taped seams to help keep snow out, along with reinforced areas that hold up through regular use. Kids snow gear is built for active days outside, so durable construction matters.
Do you carry ski jackets for girls?
Yes. Peter Glenn carries girls ski jackets that feature fun colorways, extended coverage, and detailed styling. These options provide the same technical features parents look for, including waterproof construction and built-in insulation.
