Is the Charger warm enough for cold resort days?

Yes. It has 100 grams of PrimaLoft insulation and a fully taped shell, which owners say handles cold lift rides well. On mild spring days it can feel too warm.

How does the slim fit compare with other Obermeyer jackets?

It runs trimmer than Obermeyer's relaxed and regular fits. Skiers who layer heavily should size up or choose a roomier model.

Is 10K waterproofing enough for skiing?

It handles typical resort snow and light rain. In wet, heavy snow or long exposure, a higher-rated shell performs better.

Can I wear it without a midlayer?

Yes. The insulation is enough for moderate cold on its own. Add a base layer and a light fleece for colder days.

What length is the jacket?

It measures 27.5 inches, covering the hips and seat. That is a mid-length cut, shorter than a parka.

Is it good for backcountry use?

It is built for resort skiing. The insulated build and slim cut suit lift-served days better than uphill touring.

Our take on the Obermeyer Charger Insulated Ski Jacket

The Charger is Obermeyer's slim-cut, fully taped ski jacket with 10K waterproofing and 100 grams of PrimaLoft insulation. It targets resort skiers who want a trim silhouette without giving up warmth or weather protection. The 27.5-inch length and slim fit make it less roomy than freeride shells, so layering space is tighter. Owners rate it highly for build quality and warmth on cold lift days.
