Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- PrimaLoft Black ECO insulation at 133g provides reliable warmth that performs even when wet from snow or sweat.
- Room-to-grow hemming extends the jacket's usable life as your child grows, adding value over multiple seasons.
- Helmet-compatible fixed hood with inner gaiter provides full coverage without requiring a separate neck warmer.
- Recycled EXO SHIELD shell with 10k laminate and DWR delivers solid weather protection with a lower environmental footprint.
👎 Cons
- Fixed hood cannot be removed on warmer spring ski days when a helmet alone would suffice.
- The 10k waterproof rating is adequate for most conditions but may not hold up during prolonged heavy rain or extremely wet snow.

- Premium Spyder pricing puts this jacket above many comparable youth ski jackets on the market.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of insulation does the Ambush Jacket use?
The jacket uses PrimaLoft Black ECO insulation at 133 grams, a synthetic fill made partly from recycled materials that retains warmth even when damp — an important feature for active young skiers.
Is the hood compatible with a ski helmet?
Yes, the fixed hood is specifically designed to fit over a helmet and includes an inner hood gaiter to seal out cold air and snow around the neck and face.
What does the "Room to Grow" hemming feature mean?
Spyder builds extra fabric into the sleeve and body hems that can be let out as your child grows, extending the usable life of the jacket by accommodating growth spurts.
How waterproof is the outer shell?
The stretch recycled EXO SHIELD polyester shell features a 10k waterproof laminate and DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating, with critically taped seams at key exposure points to keep moisture out during active skiing.
