Whether light rain, snowfall or really icy winter cold – a good winter jacket is suitable for a wide temperature range from around 0°C to -40°C, depending on the activity. In addition, many models offer protection against moisture up to a certain point. However, a decent winter jacket for outdoor use should also be as light as possible and offer plenty of storage space. Making the wrong choice here can quickly become very expensive, because winter jackets for outdoor use are usually not a bargain.
Our cooperation partner, Outdoor Magazin, has therefore extensively tested 19 winter jackets from well-known brands and paid particular attention to properties such as insulation, moisture protection, workmanship and wearing comfort. In addition to criteria to be evaluated objectively, the jackets were also worn by the editors in practice under various conditions.
