WOMEN'S ski jacket NORTHFINDER LOUISA BLACK

Women’s insulated ski jacket NORTHFINDER LOUISA BLACK – elegant, warm and functional women’s ski jacket with a 10,000 mm waterproof membrane, 10,000 g/m²/24 h breathability, two-layer stretch material, synthetic thermal insulation, removable 3D hood, snow skirt and YKK® zippers for comfortable all-day skiing

Women’s ski jacket NORTHFINDER LOUISA BLACK is a quality, warm and functional jacket from the renowned sports brand NORTHFINDER, combining an elegant female sporty look, effective protection against winter weather, and pleasant thermal comfort during skiing and other winter activities.

The NORTHFINDER LOUISA model is designed for women who are looking for a fashionably designed, insulated and technically refined ski jacket suitable for regular recreational skiing, all-day wear on the slopes, and active cold-weather days.

Its main advantage is the thoughtful combination of two-layer stretch fabric, waterproof and windproof membrane, synthetic thermal insulation, and functional ski additions that ensure comfort and protection in various winter conditions.

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

This construction helps prevent snow, wind, and moisture from penetrating the fabric while allowing water vapor to escape generated during physical activity.

Water column 10,000 mm provides good resistance of the membrane material to water and offers important protection when skiing in snowy and humid weather conditions.

Breathability 10,000 g/m²/24 h enables the passage of water vapor from the interior of the garment to the outside environment and contributes to a more comfortable feel during active movement.

During skiing, the intensity of physical activity often changes. The body warms up while skiing, and during chairlift rides or rests it is more exposed to cold air.

Therefore it is important that the ski jacket provides an effective combination of weather protection, thermal insulation, and breathability.

For comfortable warmth, synthetic thermal insulation helps reduce heat loss and contributes to comfort in colder winter conditions.

This insulation is especially useful during all-day skiing when active movement and rest and chairlift rides alternate.

One of the model’s important advantages is also the stretch outer material – Stretch Fabric, which allows for more comfortable movement and complements the jacket’s functional construction.

Stretch is particularly important in skiing as the body performs various movements during carving, getting into the ski position, and using ski poles.

The jacket has Regular Fit – classic/standard cut, which provides a comfortable fit and enough room for appropriate base and mid-layer clothing.

An important technical advantage is water-repellent surface treatment without PFC, which helps reduce water absorption into the outer surface of the material.

This treatment complements the membrane protection and contributes to the jacket’s functionality during snowfall and other winter weather influences.

The NORTHFINDER LOUISA BLACK model also features a removable 3D hood that allows adapting head and neck protection to current weather conditions.

The hood provides additional coverage against wind and snow, and can be removed if desired.

For extra protection against snow intrusion there is a snow skirt, which is particularly important when skiing, taking falls, or encountering deeper snow.

The jacket also has anatomically shaped sleeves that contribute to a more natural arm position and easier movement during sports activities.

Adjustable sleeve cuffs allow adjusting the circumference at the wrist area, which is especially practical when using ski gloves.

An important advantage of the model is high-quality YKK® zippers, ensuring reliable closing and practical use.

Additional adjustment is provided by an adjustable belt, which can improve the jacket’s fit to your figure and the used base layers.

The color edition BLACK impresses with a classic black color, creating an elegant, timeless and modern female sport look.

The black color is particularly versatile, as it allows easy coordination with various ski pants, gloves, helmets, and other winter accessories.

The model NORTHFINDER LOUISA belongs to the PATH Flow series, which combines functional construction, weather protection, and comfort for winter sports activities.

Women's ski jacket NORTHFINDER LOUISA BLACK is an excellent choice for those seeking a warm, waterproof and windproof women’s ski jacket with a 10,000 mm membrane, 10,000 g/m²/24 h breathability, stretch two-layer material, synthetic insulation, removable hood, snow skirt, anatomically shaped sleeves and YKK® zippers, suitable for comfortable and stylish skiing in winter conditions.

Water column 10,000 mm – effective protection from snow and moisture

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

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

For ski garments this data is especially important as jackets are often exposed to snow, moisture, and changing weather conditions.

The membrane material of the LOUISA model provides protection suitable for ordinary winter conditions on the slopes.

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 circumference at the natural waistline.

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 base layers.

When choosing size, consider that the ski jacket is usually worn over functional underwear and a mid layer.

Important: The jacket should not overly restrict arm and shoulder movement, but it should not be excessively loose either.

Proper use and multi-layer clothing

For optimal functionality we recommend:

• Wear the jacket as the outer protective layer.

• Under it, use quality functional underwear.

• In colder conditions, add a suitable mid-layer insulation.

• Place the snow skirt correctly around the torso.

• Adjust sleeve cuffs according to the gloves used.

• Adapt the hood to weather conditions.

• Adjust the adjustable belt according to the base layers used.

• Consider temperature, wind, and activity intensity.

• Choose the correct size.

• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

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

Care and maintenance

To preserve the functionality and appearance of the NORTHFINDER LOUISA BLACK model we recommend:

• Check the care label before washing.

• Close all zippers before washing.

• Turn the item inside out if possible.

• Avoid fabric softeners as they can affect membrane performance.

• Avoid aggressive bleaches.

• Avoid strong rubbing or abrasion.

• Dry according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Avoid direct sources of high heat.

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

• Before storing, ensure the jacket is completely dry.

• Store in a dry and ventilated place.

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