A Bogner ski jacket is the piece most people buy first from the house, and there are two main families to choose from: the down ski jackets of Bogner Sport, and the lighter, brighter ski jackets of Fire+Ice. This guide explains the difference, how warm each one is and how they fit. Shop all women’s ski jackets at Coveti and browse the full Bogner edit.
Bogner Sport vs Fire+Ice
Bogner Sport is the technical line. Its ski jackets are usually filled with real down, cut in four-way stretch shells and finished with fur-look trims, cord panels and the B-zip pull. Fire+Ice is the younger line, launched in 1989. Its jackets use synthetic fill and water-repellent shells, with stronger colour and lower prices. Both are made for skiing. The choice comes down to how cold you run and how you want to look. More on the younger line is in Bogner Fire+Ice explained.
How warm is a Bogner ski jacket?
Bogner rates many styles on its own warmth scale of light, medium and warm, and Coveti repeats that rating in the product description. A down ski jacket rated warm suits cold resorts and long chairlift rides. A medium jacket over a good base layer works for most of the season. A light shell suits spring skiing and high-output days. Read how to layer for skiing before you decide.
What to look for
- Shell: four-way stretch moves with you. A membrane and seam sealing keep out wet snow.
- Fill: real down is warmer for its weight. Synthetic fill copes better with damp and is easier to care for.
- Hood: check that it fits over a helmet and whether the trim detaches.
- Details: a powder skirt, a ski-pass pocket on the sleeve and inner cuffs with thumb holes make a real difference on the hill.
The Bogner ski jackets we would buy
1. Naia Down Ski Jacket in Black
Naia is the classic Bogner Sport down ski jacket: a clean quilted line, a fitted waist and real warmth. Black goes with every trouser in the edit.
2. Dea Down Ski Jacket in Cyan-Blue
Dea is the one for colour. The cyan-blue shell has a two-layer membrane and a down fill, and it stands out on a white slope.
3. Minu Cord Down Ski Jacket in Camel
Minu mixes cord panels with down, which gives a ski jacket the texture of a city coat. Camel works with cream ski trousers.
4. Vaia Down Ski Jacket in Camel and Off White
Vaia uses colour blocking in camel and off white, a Bogner signature that reads as retro without looking like a costume.
5. Tec-Seal Ski Jacket in Black
Tec-Seal is the practical Fire+Ice choice, with a water-repellent shell and a cleaner shape at a lower price.
6. Tavie Ski Jacket in Pink
Tavie in pink is the Fire+Ice jacket to wear with white trousers. It is bright, light and easy to layer.
How do Bogner ski jackets fit?
Most Bogner ski jackets are cut in a regular fit with room for a base layer and a thin mid layer. Bogner publishes no sizing correction, so take your usual size. Bogner sizes its clothing in EU confection sizes, which Coveti lists in UK sizes: on the Bogner chart an EU 34 is a UK 8 and a US 4, and an EU 36 is a UK 10. The full conversion is in our Bogner size guide.
What to wear with it
Match a down jacket with slim Bogner ski pants for the classic silhouette, and keep the colours to two. For more ideas see our white ski jacket guide and the full skiwear edit.
Frequently asked questions
Are Bogner ski jackets good?
Yes. Bogner has made skiwear since 1932 and dresses German Olympic skiers. Its jackets combine stretch shells, real down and practical ski details with a polished look.
Are Bogner ski jackets waterproof?
Most are water-repellent and breathable, and many Bogner Sport styles add a membrane and seam sealing. Check the technical points listed on each product.
What is the difference between Bogner and Fire+Ice ski jackets?
Bogner Sport jackets are usually down-filled and more technical. Fire+Ice jackets use synthetic fill, bolder colour and lower prices.
How should a Bogner ski jacket fit?
It should close comfortably over a base layer and a thin mid layer, with sleeves that reach the wrist when your arms are bent. Take your usual size.
Can you wear a Bogner ski jacket in town?
Yes. Many Bogner down ski jackets are cut close enough to wear as a winter coat, especially in black, camel and off white.
