Dryplay 10K/10K Weather Protection

The Basement Jacket uses Picture’s Dryplay 10K/10K membrane, offering 10,000 mm of waterproof protection and 5,000 g/m²/24h breathability. The polyurethane-blend laminate membrane is designed to be waterproof, windproof and breathable, providing reliable protection for everyday resort skiing.

A 10K waterproof rating makes the Basement particularly well suited to regular piste and resort use, providing protection against snowfall and general winter moisture while maintaining a level of breathability for active skiing.

80 g/m² Insulation

For warmth, the jacket features 80 g/m² polyester insulation. This gives the Basement a warm construction designed for colder days on the mountain, without making the jacket excessively bulky.

The insulated design makes it a particularly straightforward choice for skiers who prefer the convenience of a warm jacket rather than building their temperature control entirely around removable midlayers.

PFC-Free Water Repellency

The outer fabric receives a Teflon EcoElite™ PFC-free DWR treatment, helping water bead from the surface of the fabric rather than immediately soaking into the outer material.

Picture states that its Teflon EcoElite™ treatment uses renewably sourced technology and is designed to retain 90% efficiency after 10 washes.

Critically Taped Seams

The Basement uses critically taped seams to add protection around key stitched areas. This complements the Dryplay membrane and DWR treatment, helping the jacket resist moisture penetration during snowy resort conditions.

While critically taped rather than fully taped, the construction is well suited to the Basement’s intended role as a practical everyday ski jacket.

Regular Fit for Freedom of Movement

The Basement features a regular fit, providing a comfortable balance between mobility and coverage. Picture describes the fit as allowing unrestricted movement whether carving turns or riding more technical sections.

The cut also gives you useful flexibility when choosing what to wear underneath, making it suitable for adapting your layering to changing temperatures.

Ventilation for Active Skiing

When you’re working harder on the mountain, pit zipped openings provide a simple way to release excess heat. Opening the underarm vents can improve airflow without requiring you to remove or significantly open the jacket.

This is particularly useful during higher-output skiing, warmer conditions or periods when you’re moving between active runs and slower lift journeys.

Ergonomic Hood & Snow Protection

The ergonomic hood features a single-point adjustment system, allowing you to customise its fit and coverage according to the conditions.

Protection around the wrists comes from Lycra wrist gaiters, while adjustable hook-and-loop cuffs allow the sleeve opening to be tightened around gloves. A fixed snow skirt provides another barrier against snow entering around the waist, particularly useful during falls or deeper snow conditions.

Practical Pocket Storage

The Basement has a straightforward pocket layout designed around everyday mountain essentials. Zipped hand pocketsprovide secure storage for smaller items, while a dedicated ski-pass pocket keeps your pass readily accessible at lift gates.

An internal mesh pocket adds additional storage inside the jacket, giving you somewhere convenient to keep goggles, gloves or other lightweight items when necessary.

YKK® Front Zip Construction

The main front opening uses a YKK® zip with snap fasteners under a protective flap. This construction helps shield the central zip area from snow and wind while providing a secure closure system for skiing.

Adjustable Cuffs & Hem

The Basement offers several ways to fine-tune the fit. Hook-and-loop adjustable cuffs allow the sleeve openings to be tightened around gloves, while the adjustable hem with drawcord allows you to control the lower fit of the jacket.

Together with the snow skirt and wrist gaiters, these features help create a more secure barrier against cold air and snow.

100% Recycled Polyester Construction

The Basement Jacket is made from 100% recycled polyester, supporting Picture’s wider focus on recycled materials. The jacket also carries Global Recycled Standard certification, which provides verification and supply-chain tracking for recycled materials while incorporating additional social, environmental and chemical-processing requirements.

Picture also includes its Lifetime Repair Warranty on the jacket, reflecting its approach to extending product lifespan through repair rather than replacement.

Resort Performance

The Basement is designed around the needs of the everyday resort skier. Its combination of 10K waterproofing, 5K breathability, 80 g/m² insulation and practical snow protection makes it a dependable option for regular days on groomed pistes and within the wider resort environment.

Rather than being built as an ultralight technical shell, it prioritises warmth, comfort and straightforward functionality. The integrated snow skirt, wrist gaiters, hood adjustment, pit vents and multiple pockets give it the equipment needed for long days outside without unnecessary complexity.
