Is the Serene jacket warm enough for very cold ski days?

Yes. PrimaLoft Black insulation at 120 grams plus a relaxed fit for layering is aimed at cold winter days. It is not a shell, so it suits cold snow more than mild spring skiing.

Is it fully waterproof?

It uses Helly Tech Performance fabric with critically taped seams, which is highly water-resistant. Seams are not fully sealed, so sustained rain or very wet slush can still soak through.

What is RECCO and do I need it?

RECCO is a passive reflector that rescue teams can detect with their equipment. It needs no batteries and adds a safety layer for backcountry or off-piste skiing.

Does it have a hood and powder skirt?

Yes. The hood is removable, and the jacket includes a powder skirt, wrist gaiters and adjustable cuffs to keep snow out.

How does it fit compared with a shell jacket?

It has a relaxed, puffy fit with room for a midlayer. It is bulkier and less packable than a shell but warmer on its own.

Is it only for girls?

It is cut and sized for girls. Boys of similar size could wear it, but the fit and color are designed for girls.
