Spyder LEADER JACKET Ski Jacket

The Spyder LEADER JACKET: Technical Protection and Thermal Comfort in the Mountains

The Spyder LEADER JACKET has established itself as a benchmark in technical men’s ski apparel, designed to withstand the most demanding winter conditions. It features the EXO SHIELD 30K/20K membrane, a 4-way stretch fabric made from 100% recycled polyester that combines high waterproofing with active moisture-wicking. Paired with 100 g of PrimaLoft® Black ECO insulation, it ensures reliable thermal balance without adding bulk. Every detail of this jacket has been designed to support dedicated skiers, from the first lift ride to the last turns of the day.

Waterproofing and breathability: a sturdy barrier against the elements

The EXO SHIELD membrane boasts a water column rating of 30,000 mm, guaranteeing effective protection against rain, snow, and wet spray, even during falls or in changing weather conditions. Its breathability rating of 20,000 g/m²/24h allows for continuous wicking of water vapor produced by physical exertion, preventing moisture buildup inside the jacket. The durable water-repellent (DWR) treatment applied to the surface enhances this feature by causing water to bead up before it saturates the fabric. Fully taped seams complete this waterproof system, eliminating any potential points of moisture penetration.

Insulation and warmth: PrimaLoft® Black ECO for controlled comfort

The 100 g PrimaLoft® Black ECO insulation provides consistent warmth without adding weight to the jacket or making it stiff. This synthetic fiber retains its insulating properties even when exposed to residual moisture—a practical advantage during intense days or in variable conditions. The spaced-mesh padding on the shoulders enhances thermal management by minimizing compression zones that would otherwise reduce the insulation’s effectiveness.

Freedom of Movement: A Design Tailored for Active Use

The 4-way stretch outer fabric follows every movement without resistance or restriction, whether you’re in tight boots or performing dynamic off-piste maneuvers. Targeted stretch panels on the inside enhance this freedom in areas of maximum tension. Stretch cuffs with thumb loops maintain a snug fit between the jacket and gloves, preventing cold air from entering at the wrists. The underarm ventilation system, equipped with YKK® zippers, allows you to quickly regulate your body temperature during periods of intense exertion.

Finishes and Practicality: Details That Make a Difference on the Slopes

The Spyder LEADER JACKET features a range of details designed to make everyday use easier. Here are the key functional features:

• Removable, adjustable, helmet-compatible hood: adapts to your protective gear without adding excessive bulk.
• Removable snow skirt with snap-back feature: prevents snow from getting in during falls and stows away easily when not needed.
• YKK® AquaGuard® zippers: designed to resist moisture on the main openings, hand pockets, and chest pocket.
• Goggle pocket with built-in chamois goggle wipe: protects your goggles and lets you clean them without taking off your gloves.
• Dedicated ski pass pocket: compatible with contactless reading systems for hands-free access to the lifts.

The drawcord-adjustable hem and adjustable cuffs allow you to fine-tune the jacket’s fit to your body type and the conditions in which you’re skiing.

Environmental Responsibility: Carefully Selected Materials

The outer fabric of the Spyder LEADER JACKET is made from 100% recycled polyester, reducing the use of virgin raw materials. All components have been designed without PFAS chemicals, in line with regulatory and environmental developments in the outdoor apparel sector.

With the Spyder LEADER JACKET, tackle every run with the confidence that you’ll stay protected, warm, and free to move, no matter how challenging the day on the slopes may be.
