A pullover for colder resort days
The insulated Blizzard has more fill around the body than in the sleeves and hood. You get warmth from the jacket itself, but a warm midlayer is still useful on cold chairlift days.
Dope also sells a lined-shell version without the padding. Choose the insulated option for the setup described here; the two versions will not feel equally warm.
Weather protection and cooling off
The DRY Tech fabric and taped seams provide the waterproof barrier, while the surface treatment helps water bead off. For a trip dominated by heavy, wet snowfall or rain, look at the higher-waterproof-rated options in the comparison.
Large underarm vents are the main way to release heat without taking the jacket off. Unlike a full-zip jacket, you cannot open the entire front on a warm afternoon. That is the main compromise of the pullover design.
Stretch, pockets and snow protection
Two-way stretch gives the outer fabric some give as you bend and reach. Drawstrings adjust the hood at the front and back, and another tightens the hem. Stretch wrist gaiters help close the gap above your gloves.
A dedicated phone pocket and a pass pocket on the left sleeve keep those items separate. The pass pocket uses a hook-and-loop closure, and a fleece chin lining softens the area against your face.
Where we suggest it
- St. Moritz in January: Insulation suits the cold afternoons, with a warm midlayer underneath for higher runs and lift rides.
- Val Gardena in January: Built-in warmth suits the wintry temperatures; close the hood and hem when the wind picks up.
