The Picture Exa Women’s Jacket 2027 is a warm, protective and versatile insulated ski jacket designed for comfortable performance throughout full days on the mountain. Combining Picture’s Dryplay 20K/20K waterproof and breathable membrane with a warm 60 g/m² polyester construction, the Exa is built to provide dependable protection when conditions turn wet, snowy or windy.
Designed with skiing in mind, the jacket combines a straight fit with an ergonomic hood and practical articulation to allow natural movement on the slopes. Fully taped seams, a waterproof two-way YKK® zip and waterproof pocket zips help prevent moisture from getting inside, while underarm ventilation allows excess heat to escape during more active runs.
The Exa also provides the practical details expected from a dedicated ski jacket, including a fixed snow skirt, wrist gaiters with thumbholes, adjustable cuffs, a ski-pass pocket and multiple secure storage options. Made from 100% Circular Polyester, it also incorporates Picture’s approach to recycled materials and comes with a Lifetime Repair Warranty.

Dryplay 20K/20K Protection
At the heart of the Exa is Picture’s Dryplay 20K/20K membrane. The polyurethane-blend laminate is designed to provide waterproof, windproof and breathable protection, making it suitable for demanding winter conditions.
The 20,000 mm waterproof rating provides substantial protection against snow and precipitation, while the 20,000 g/m²/24h breathability rating helps moisture vapour escape from inside the jacket. This combination makes the Exa suitable for both steady piste skiing and more active days when you’re generating more heat.
The construction is further supported by fully taped seams, reducing potential entry points for moisture throughout the jacket.
Warm 60 g/m² Construction
The Exa is designed as a warm ski jacket, using a 60 g/m² polyester construction to provide insulation for colder days on the mountain.
This makes it particularly suited to resort skiing where dependable warmth is important, while the underarm ventilation allows you to release excess heat when activity levels increase.
The combination of insulation and breathable waterproof protection gives the Exa a versatile balance for changing conditions throughout the day.
Ergonomic Hood & Adjustable Protection
The hood uses a three-point adjustment system, allowing you to customise the fit around your head and improve coverage when conditions become windy or snowy.
At the wrists, adjustable cuffs combine with integrated gaiters featuring thumbholes. These help close off the openings around your hands and sleeves while providing additional coverage and comfort when wearing gloves.
A fixed snow skirt provides another barrier against powder and snow entering underneath the jacket, particularly useful during deeper snow conditions or when falling on the slopes.
Waterproof YKK® Two-Way Zip
A waterproof two-way YKK® front zip provides secure closure while giving you the option of opening the jacket from either direction when additional ventilation or movement is required.
The jacket also uses waterproof zips on the hand and chest pockets, helping protect stored essentials from snow and moisture.
Underarm Ventilation
For active skiing, ventilation is just as important as insulation. The Exa features zipped openings beneath the arms, allowing you to release excess heat when working hard on the slopes.
This is particularly useful when transitioning between high-output skiing and slower periods, such as lift journeys or waiting around the resort.
Practical Pocket Layout
The Exa has been designed with ski-specific storage in mind.
The waterproof zipped hand pockets provide accessible storage for everyday essentials, while chest storage offers another secure location. A dedicated ski-pass pocket makes it easier to access your lift pass without repeatedly opening the main jacket.
Inside, an accessory mesh pocket and separate zipped interior pocket provide additional storage for smaller items that need to remain secure.
A particularly useful detail is the cleaner located inside the chest pocket, designed for cleaning masks and ski goggles while you’re out on the mountain.
Straight Fit & Natural Movement
The Exa uses a straight fit that provides a versatile balance between comfort and layering space.
Picture describes the jacket as offering an ergonomic, natural-feeling fit designed to allow movement without unnecessary restriction. This makes it suitable for carving on piste, skiing varied terrain and spending full days moving around the resort.
The adjustable hem with drawcord also allows you to customise the lower fit and helps provide additional protection against cold air and snow.
Recycled Construction
The Exa is made from 100% Circular Polyester, forming part of Picture’s approach to using recycled materials throughout its technical clothing range. The product is also associated with Global Recycled Standard certification, which provides verification and traceability for recycled materials through the supply chain.
The jacket also uses Teflon EcoElite™ PFC-free DWR treatment. Picture states that the treatment is designed to provide durable water repellency while avoiding intentionally added PFCs.
Built to Last
Picture provides the Exa with its Lifetime Repair Warranty. The company’s technical range is designed to be repairable for extended use, with repairs covering issues such as seams, drawcords, zippers and buttons subject to the warranty terms.
This adds another layer of long-term value to the jacket, particularly for skiers who expect to use their outerwear regularly across multiple seasons.
