Is the Obermeyer Super G warm enough for very cold days?

With 220 grams of synthetic insulation and an 8/10 warmth rating, it suits most resort days. On extreme cold or high-altitude days, add a fleece or down midlayer.

Is it fully waterproof?

No. It has an 8/10 waterproof rating with critically taped seams, which handles snow and light rain. Prolonged wet snow or rain can get through untaped seams.

How does the relaxed fit run?

It is cut roomy to layer over a sweater or midlayer. If you prefer a trim fit, consider sizing down or looking at Obermeyer's slimmer lines.

What length is the jacket?

The 18-inch length puts the hem around the hip. That keeps it out of the way when skiing but leaves the seat less covered than a longer parka.

Is synthetic insulation better than down here?

Synthetic keeps warmth when damp and costs less, which suits wet snow. Down is lighter and warmer for its weight but loses loft when wet.

When is the best time to buy it?

Ski jackets usually drop in price late in the season and in spring clearance. Check the price history before buying early in winter.

Our take on the Obermeyer Super G Insulated Ski Jacket

The Obermeyer Super G is a relaxed-fit, synthetic-insulated ski jacket built for cold resort days. It pairs 220 grams of insulation with an 8-of-10 waterproof rating and critically taped seams, so it handles snow and wet chairlift rides without bulk. The 18-inch length sits at the hip for freedom of movement. It is a solid mid-tier option for skiers who want warmth over technical shell performance.
