A ski snow jacket is a taped waterproof shell for resort or tour days, not a fashion puffer. Ratings like 10K/10K versus 20K/20K tell you how the fabric handles wet snow and sweat. Shop sports outerwear by membrane number, whether insulation is built in, and ski-specific pieces: powder skirt, helmet hood, and pit zips.
Match the waterproof number and seam tape to the climate you ski, then check hood fit over a helmet before you treat two 'snow' jackets as equal.
