SOS Gravity Stretch Shell Men’s Ski Jacket is a technical ski shell designed for demanding days in changeable mountain conditions. Built around a waterproof TPU membrane with 30,000 mm water resistance and 25,000 g/m²/24h breathability, it provides a high level of protection from snow, rain and wind while allowing moisture vapour to escape during active skiing.
As a shell jacket, the Gravity is designed to work as part of a layering system. Its regular fit provides space for a warm midlayer underneath, while underarm ventilation allows you to regulate temperature as conditions and activity levels change. Fully taped seams, a DWR treatment and waterproof zips further reinforce its weather protection.

Weather Protection
The Gravity is built as a genuine mountain shell, prioritising protection without adding unnecessary insulation. Its 30K waterproof rating, waterproof TPU membrane and fully taped seams create a strong barrier against snow and wet weather, while the DWR finish helps precipitation bead away from the outer fabric.
The windproof construction is particularly useful on exposed pistes and during lift rides, while waterproof zips provide additional protection around the jacket’s storage areas. This makes the Gravity a versatile outer layer that can be adapted to different temperatures simply by changing the layers worn underneath.
Breathability & Ventilation
With a 25K breathability rating, the Gravity is designed to remain comfortable during active skiing rather than simply acting as a barrier against the weather. Underarm ventilation zips provide additional airflow when temperatures rise or during higher-output skiing.
The shell construction also makes it easy to adjust insulation throughout the day. Wear it over a lightweight midlayer in milder conditions or add a warmer insulating layer when temperatures drop.
Ski-Specific Functionality
The Gravity incorporates a range of details specifically intended for use on the mountain. An integrated snow skirt helps seal the lower jacket against powder and spindrift, while the internal snow cuffs and thumb holes help prevent snow from entering at the wrists.
The adjustable hood, cuffs and hem allow the fit to be refined depending on whether you’re wearing a helmet and gloves. Multiple zipped storage options include a dedicated ski pass pocket, while YKK zips provide dependable operation in winter conditions.
