Perfect Moment Ski Jackets: Every Style Compared

Perfect Moment makes around ten ski jacket styles, and the quickest way to choose is by shape: the cropped, flared Polar Flare is the icon, the Astralis and Bubble are voluminous puffers, the Duvet, Classic Waisted and JG are tailored retro cuts, and the Solaris is the lighter synthetic option. Every style Coveti stocks is on our Perfect Moment brand page and in the ski jackets edit. The comparison table below lines them up on insulation, waterproofing and RECCO, and the flagship gets its own deep dive in our Polar Flare jacket guide.

  • Integrated RECCO rescue technology appears on the Metallic Polar Flare, JG, Solaris and selected Moment Puffer colourways.

“Not listed” means the brand’s product description does not mention RECCO for that style. Check the product page of the exact colourway before you buy, because specs can differ between seasons.

The flared icons: Polar Flare and Metallic Polar Flare

The brand calls the Polar Flare “the flare that started it all”. It is slightly cropped and fitted, with a flared hem, 10K waterproof fabric, 700-fill-power Allied down, an adjustable snow skirt, a high-neck collar and a helmet-compatible hood. The Polar Flare Down Jacket in Oyster Pink is the pastel take. The Metallic version keeps the same cut and adds integrated RECCO; the Metallic Polar Flare Down Jacket in Shiny Black is the one to know. We cover fit, warmth and care in detail in the Polar Flare guide, so we will not repeat it here. For more shine, see our edit of metallic puffer jackets.

The tailored retro cuts: Duvet, Classic Waisted and JG

Duvet Down Ski Jacket

The Duvet brings ’70s styling to the mountain with a tailored, fitted silhouette in durable ripstop. It is water-resistant, filled with 700-fill-power down and finished with an internal snow skirt, an external ski pass pocket and an internal goggle pocket. The Duvet Down Ski Jacket in Houndstooth shows off the print the brand is known for; our Perfect Moment houndstooth guide rounds up the rest.

Classic Waisted Down Ski Jacket

This is the streamlined option, with a removable belt that defines the waist. It uses 8K waterproof two-layer nylon, 700-fill-power down and a waterproof centre-front zip. Black and Snow White are the colourways, and the clean line means it works in town as well as on the hill.

JG Down Ski Jacket

The JG shares the Classic Waisted’s 8K two-layer nylon and removable belt but adds bold retro colour blocking and integrated RECCO. The JG Down Ski Jacket in Red is the brightest jacket in the range, and it pairs with the matching JG bib pants for a full ’80s look. See our retro ski outfits guide for styling.

The puffers: Astralis, Bubble and Moment

If warmth and volume matter more than a fitted line, look here. The Astralis is a voluminous cropped puffer with a drawstring waist, 10K waterproof fabric and 700-fill-power down; the Shiny Black colourway doubles as an apres jacket. The Bubble has a sculptural bubble shape, waterproof two-layer jacquard fabric, a removable snow skirt and an oversized helmet-compatible hood, in Black Houndstooth and Snow Leopard. The Moment Puffer is the relaxed one, slightly oversized and sitting just above the hip, with a snapped storm placket, thumbhole cuffs and a detachable helmet-compatible hood. The Moment Puffer in Black includes RECCO.

Shoppers looking for a shorter shape should also read our guide to cropped puffer jackets.

The outliers: Solaris and Supernova

The Solaris is the only synthetic-insulated jacket in the line-up. It is fitted at the waist, with sculptural power shoulders and batwing sleeves, a water-resistant shell, lightweight polyester insulation and integrated RECCO. Without down, it is the better pick for spring and for skiers who run warm. The Solaris Ski Jacket in Toffee is the softest colour.

The Supernova Down Parka sits at the other extreme. It is an oversized cocoon parka with 700-fill-power down, a large zip hood and the signature star on the back. The brand calls it a modern apres statement, and the product description lists none of the ski features, so treat it as a town and chalet coat.

Which Perfect Moment ski jacket should you buy?

  • First Perfect Moment jacket: the Polar Flare. It is the most recognisable shape and the most complete spec.
  • Off-piste and touring days: choose a style with RECCO, such as the Metallic Polar Flare, the JG and the Solaris.
  • Very cold resorts: the Astralis and the Bubble, the most voluminous down shapes in the range.
  • Spring skiing: the Solaris, with synthetic fill.
  • One coat for slope and town: the Classic Waisted, with its removable belt.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the warmest Perfect Moment ski jacket?

Perfect Moment does not publish fill weights, but the Astralis and the Bubble are its most voluminous ski jackets, both filled with 700-fill-power down. The Astralis adds 10K waterproof fabric, and the Bubble has a waterproof two-layer jacquard shell with a removable snow skirt.

Which Perfect Moment jackets have RECCO?

Integrated RECCO rescue technology is listed on the Metallic Polar Flare Down Jacket, the JG Down Ski Jacket, the Solaris Ski Jacket and the Black and White colourways of the Moment Puffer. Check the product page of the exact colourway, because specs can vary.

Are Perfect Moment ski jackets waterproof?

The Polar Flare, Metallic Polar Flare and Astralis use 10K waterproof fabric, while the Classic Waisted and JG use 8K waterproof two-layer nylon. The Duvet, Solaris and Moment Puffer are described as water-resistant.

Is the Perfect Moment Supernova a ski jacket?

The Supernova Down Parka is an oversized 700-fill-power down parka that the brand presents as an apres statement. Its product description lists no snow skirt and no ski pass pocket, so it is best worn in town and at the chalet.

Do Perfect Moment ski jackets run small?

Perfect Moment describes most of its outerwear as fitted, and the brand does not say its jackets run small. If you plan to wear a thick mid layer underneath, consider taking the next size up.
