Men's Ski Jacket NORTHFINDER RYAN BLACK

Men's insulated ski jacket NORTHFINDER RYAN BLACK – waterproof and windproof ski jacket with a two-layer membrane 10,000 mm, breathability 10,000 g/m²/24 h, synthetic thermal insulation, removable 3D hood, snow skirt, underarm venting, and high-quality YKK® zippers for comfortable skiing in winter conditions

Men's ski jacket NORTHFINDER RYAN BLACK is a high-quality, warm and functional men's ski jacket from the renowned sports brand NORTHFINDER, designed for skiers who seek an optimal combination of snow, wind and moisture protection, comfortable thermal warmth, and practical technical solutions for all-day skiing.

The RYAN model is an insulated ski jacket primarily intended for regular recreational skiing in varying winter weather conditions.

Its main advantage is a thoughtful combination of two-layer membrane construction, synthetic thermal insulation, water-repellent surface treatment without PFCs and functional ski accessories.

The jacket is made of two-layer technical material with a membrane, providing water column 10,000 mm and breathability 10,000 g/m²/24 h.

This combination enables effective protection against snow, wind and moisture and helps wick away excess body moisture during active movement.

Water column 10,000 mm is an important protective property of the jacket, indicating the material’s resistance to water intrusion under pressure.

This is especially important in skiing, where clothing is often exposed to snow, moisture, wind and changing weather conditions.

Breathability 10,000 g/m²/24 h allows water vapor to pass through the membrane material and contributes to a more comfortable feel during physical activity.

During skiing the body often warms up, so it is important that the jacket, in addition to protecting from external factors, also enables effective internal moisture management.

For additional warmth comfort, there is synthetic thermal insulation that helps maintain pleasant warmth during skiing in colder winter conditions.

This insulation is particularly useful during chairlift rides, breaks on the slope and other moments when physical activity is less intense.

One of the key advantages of the model is PFC-free water-repellent finish that helps prevent rapid water absorption into the outer surface of the material.

The water-repellent finish contributes to protection against snow and moisture and complements the membrane’s function.

The RYAN BLACK model also has vent openings with zippers under the arms, allowing additional regulation of body temperature.

During more intense skiing you can open the vent zippers to allow more efficient removal of excess heat.

This is especially important on warmer winter days or during more dynamic skiing.

An important functional feature is the removable 3D hood, allowing adaptation of head and neck protection to current weather conditions.

The hood provides additional coverage in windy or snowy weather, and can be removed if desired.

The jacket also has a Snow Skirt which helps prevent snow from entering under the jacket.

This construction is particularly useful when skiing in deeper snow, during falls or during more vigorous movement on the slopes.

Additional comfort is provided by adjustable sleeve cuffs with stretch inner cuffs and thumb holes, which help keep the sleeves in place and reduce the entry of cold air.

Another highlight of the model is the high-quality YKK® zippers, providing reliable and practical use.

The jacket has a Regular Fit – classic or conventional cut, offering comfortable fit and enough room for appropriate base and insulating layers of clothing.

Because of this design, it is suitable for skiers who want a functional ski jacket without an overly tight fit.

The BLACK colorway impresses with a classic black color, creating an elegant, minimalist and timeless sporty look.

The black color allows easy mixing with various ski pants, gloves, helmets and other winter accessories.

The model is part of the NORTHFINDER PATH Flow series, which combines functional design and practical features for skiing.

Men's ski jacket NORTHFINDER RYAN BLACK is an excellent choice for those seeking a warm, waterproof and windproof men’s ski jacket with a membrane 10,000 mm, breathability 10,000 g/m²/24 h, synthetic insulation, underarm venting, removable hood, snow skirt and high-quality YKK® zippers, suitable for recreational skiing and all-day use on the slopes.

Water Column 10,000 mm – reliable protection against snow and moisture

One of the most important technical properties of the NORTHFINDER RYAN BLACK is water column 10,000 mm.

The water column indicates the material’s resistance to water penetration under a given pressure.

A higher value generally means greater resistance to water.

For the RYAN model, the manufacturer lists 10,000 mm, which is suitable for typical winter conditions on the slopes.

Advantages of a 10,000 mm water column

• Protection against snow.

• Moisture resistance.

• Functionality in winter conditions.

• Suitability for recreational skiing.

• Comfort while snowing.

• Protection when in contact with wet snow.

• Complementing water-repellent treatment.

• Suitability for all-day use on the slopes.

• Functional membrane construction.

• Versatile winter use.

Water column 10,000 mm is a major advantage of the RYAN model, as it provides effective protection against common snowy and damp conditions.

Important: The water column is a property of the membrane material. The jacket’s overall protection also depends on seam construction, closures and usage.

Breathability 10,000 g/m²/24 h – effective moisture management

The second key technical property of the NORTHFINDER RYAN BLACK is breathability 10,000 g/m²/24 h.

Breathability indicates the material’s ability to allow water vapor to pass from the interior of the garment to the outside environment.

This is especially important in skiing, as the body heats up during active movement and produces moisture.

Breathability advantages

• More effective moisture management.

• More comfortable feel while skiing.

• Supports regulating internal moisture.

• Functionality during more intense movement.

• Comfort during all-day use.

• Complementing underarm venting.

• Suitability for recreational skiing.

How to choose the right size?

For proper size selection, we recommend measuring the following body circumferences:

1. Chest: Measure the widest part of the chest.

2. Waist: Measure the waist circumference.

3. Hips: Measure the widest part of the hips.

4. The measuring tape should be horizontal and not too tight.

5. Compare measurements with NORTHFINDER’s official size chart.

Proper fit

The jacket has Regular Fit – classic cut, so it should allow comfortable movement and enough space for appropriate underlayers.

When choosing the size, consider that a ski jacket is typically worn over functional underwear and a middle insulating layer.

Important: The jacket should not overly restrict movement of the arms and shoulders, but should not be too loose either.

Correct use and multi-layer layering

For optimal functionality we recommend:

• Wear the jacket as the outer protective layer.

• Under it, use quality functional underwear.

• In colder conditions add an appropriate middle insulating layer.

• During more intensive skiing, open the underarm vent zippers as needed.

• Place the snow skirt correctly around the body.

• Adjust sleeve ends according to the gloves used.

• Adjust the hood to weather conditions.

• Use thumb openings if needed.

• Consider temperature, wind and activity intensity.

• Choose the correct size.

• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Proper multi-layering helps maintain thermal comfort and effective moisture management during skiing.

Care and maintenance

To maintain the functionality and appearance of the NORTHFINDER RYAN BLACK model we recommend:

• Check the care label before washing.

• Follow the recommended washing temperature.

• Use a detergent suitable for membrane garments.

• Close all zippers before washing.

• If possible, turn the product inside out before washing.

• Avoid fabric softeners, as they can affect membrane performance.

• Avoid aggressive bleaches.

• Avoid harsh rubbing.

• Dry according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Avoid direct sources of high heat.

• If needed, restore the water-repellent surface treatment with an appropriate product.

• Before storing, ensure the jacket is completely dry.

• Store in a dry and well-ventilated place.

Important: Proper maintenance helps preserve membrane functionality, water-repellent treatment and thermal insulation.
