XTM Jacket Review: Warm, Weatherproof and Built to Perform

Perisher is no place for gear that can’t handle the cold. We put the XTM Titanium Ski Jacket to the test on a sub-zero bluebird day in June, and it delivered. From fit to function, this all-rounder jacket combines comfort, performance, and sustainability making it a top pick for Aussie skiers this season.

“A great all-round jacket that I would recommend to anyone”

Jake Wilson took this XTM jacket for a spin on Mount Perisher on a freezing cold but bluebird minus 2 degree morning during the last days of June 2025. Mount Perisher mornings are known for being especially chilly and prone to a lot of wind. “The jacket is great and fits well and looks really good. It’s a proper full ski jacket and not a shell so even though it was freezing cold I was really warm inside the jacket. I had the XTM Marengo 1/4 Zip Neck Men’s Seawool Fleece underneath with a t-shirt and I felt really snug”.

“The positioning of the zippers was good for storing personal stuff. The inside pocket was good for storing my car keys as I didn’t have my backpack with me. The arm pocket was perfect for my Epic pass. The length of the jacket went down over my pants so if I’m skiing in powder I know won’t get any snow in and keeps my kidney area warm on a chairlift”.

Jake tested the Size M Lava Waterproof rating 15,000mm.

This jacket is made from REFLEX DURO, 100% recyclable materials and has a stretch for increased range of movement. The 15,000 breathability rating helps remove moisture from the body. No PFCs are used for waterproofing as these are found to be a huge health hazard. XTM is a certified carbon neutral company.

This XTM jacket also features taped seams, a YKK main sipper , which is stronger and tougher , a powder skirt, sleeve pocket, pit vents, internal pocket and comes with a 10 year warranty. For more info and purchase info click here.

“Good fit, non-itchy, kept me warm, great colour”.
