The SCOTT Ultimate Dryo 10 is a dependable resort jacket built for long days on-piste. It is designed to keep you warm on cold chairlifts, stay comfortable when the sun comes out, and cover the essentials with plenty of ski-specific storage and features.
Weather protection
This jacket uses a 2-layer DRYOsphere fabric with a 10K waterproof and 10K breathability rating. That is a sensible level for typical snowy resort conditions, light snowfall, and cold wind. If you ski in very wet climates or regularly ride in heavy, persistent storms, you may want to step up to a higher waterproof rating, but for most holiday weeks this spec is a strong fit.
Warmth and comfort
Insulation levels are geared for all-day piste skiing, with 100g through the body and 80g in the sleeves. It feels warm enough for lift lines without being overly bulky, and the cut is a regular fit, so layering over a midlayer is straightforward.
Venting and on-the-move feel
When you start working harder, full underarm vents help dump heat quickly. This makes the jacket more versatile across changing temperatures, especially on sunnier days when you still want an insulated layer.
Ski features that matter
The Ultimate Dryo 10 is well equipped for resort use, including:
-
Detachable and adjustable hood
-
Powder skirt
-
Pass pocket and chest pocket
-
Inner security pocket
-
Goggle pocket with detachable goggle wipe
-
Adjustable cuffs and hem
-
Inner cuffs with thumbholes
-
Anti-chafe chin guard
One thing to check before buying is hood fit with your helmet. Some skiers find helmet compatibility depends on the helmet shape and size.
Sustainability notes
SCOTT lists a PFC-free water repellent finish, bluesign approved materials, and recycled content in parts of the lining, which is a welcome bonus at this price point.
