About Scott Women's Explorair 3L Jacket – Ski Jackets Women
The Scott Jacket W's Explorair 3L is a technical shell jacket for those who want a light and flexible jacket that works just as well for ski touring as it does for a full day on the slopes. Thanks to DRYOsphere 3L, you get reliable protection against rain, snow, and wind, while the material is breathable and releases excess heat.
With a water resistance of 15,000 mm and breathability of 10,000 g/m²/24 h, the jacket can handle everything from cold winter days to longer tours where you are highly active. This makes it just as suitable for those who take the lift as for those who prefer to skin up under their own power.
When you need to cool down, you can easily open the ventilation zippers under the arms. The adjustable hood is also helmet-compatible and provides great protection when the weather turns. The jacket also has adjustable cuffs and a powder skirt that helps keep the snow out.
Storage is simple yet well-thought-out. You get two hand pockets, a lift pass pocket, and an internal goggle pocket with a detachable cleaning cloth, so your essentials are always close at hand.
The Explorair 3L is part of Scott's Re-Source collection and is made from recycled material with a PFC-free water-repellent treatment. This makes it a more sustainable choice without compromising on function or durability.
In short, the Scott Jacket W's Explorair 3L is a versatile shell jacket that suits those who want a reliable jacket throughout the entire ski season. If you are also looking for a pair of matching ski pants, you can see our selection here.

Size & fit
Measure your chest at its widest point and compare with the size chart in the size guide. If you are between two sizes, go for the smaller one if you want a snugger fit, or the larger one if you want room for more layers underneath. Not sure? Give us a call and we will help you.
Care
Wash at 30° with a liquid detergent for technical garments — never use fabric softener or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or iron at a low temperature to reactivate the water-repellent treatment. Reproof when water stops beading on the surface, usually after 15–20 washes.

Choosing a shell jacket
Waterproofing and breathability
Waterproofing is measured in millimetres (hydrostatic head) and describes how much water pressure the fabric can withstand before it leaks. 10,000 mm handles normal precipitation, while 20,000 mm handles wet snow and rain all day long — even where you sit and press against the fabric on the chairlift. Breathability is measured in grams of moisture per square metre per 24 hours and determines how much sweat is transported out. You want high numbers for both; a waterproof fabric without breathability will just make you wet from the inside instead.
The layering principle
The shell is the outer layer and is not meant to be warm in itself. The warmth comes from the mid-layer — merino wool or fleece — and closest to the skin is a thin layer that moves moisture away from your body. The advantage of a pure shell over a padded jacket is that you can regulate your warmth to suit the weather and your pace, instead of being locked into one level of insulation. That is why the shell is cut with room for a mid-layer, and why it can feel roomy when you try it on without one.
The details that make the difference
A powder skirt at the waist keeps snow out when you fall. Underarm vents are the quickest way to regulate your temperature without taking anything off. The hood should be adjustable with one hand and fit over a helmet without blocking your view. Taped seams are essential, because a waterproof fabric will leak through the seams if they are not sealed. The pockets should be placed so they work with a hip belt on and a lift pass in the sleeve.
Size and fit
The jacket is cut with room for insulation. If you are between two sizes and ski without a thick mid-layer, go for the smaller one. If you want room for a thicker sweater, or do a lot of ski touring where you need freedom of movement, go for the larger one. The sleeves should reach past your wrists when you stretch your arms forward.
How to keep your jacket waterproof
A shell rarely stops being waterproof — it stops repelling water on the surface. When the fabric turns dark and heavy with moisture, it is the outer water-repellent treatment that has worn off, not the membrane. Wash the jacket with a detergent made for shell garments, tumble dry it on low heat or iron it with a cloth in between to reactivate the treatment, and reproof when needed. A jacket that is looked after stays waterproof season after season.
