Product Overview
Long stretches outdoors in winter call for more than a warm jacket. The Rothco Ski and Rescue Suit combines an insulated upper body and legs in one piece, with a waterproof shell, removable hood, and zippered openings that make managing boots and clothing easier. It is intended for cold-weather activities such as skiing, snowmobiling, hunting, and outdoor work.
Hollow-core insulation beneath an oxford nylon shell
The suit uses Hollofil 808 insulation, whose hollow-core construction traps air to provide warmth and loft. Around that insulation, a heavy oxford nylon shell blocks wind, rain, and snow. This combination addresses two important parts of winter comfort: holding warmth around your body and keeping the weather outside.
The one-piece design provides coverage through the waist without the separate jacket-and-trouser arrangement. Black elastic knit cuffs help keep the openings close to your wrists, while the elastic belt draws the suit in around the waist for a snug, secure fit. Both features help limit the entry of cold air.
Adjust coverage as conditions change
A drawstring lets you adjust the hood opening, and a zipper at the back allows you to detach the hood when you do not need it. Reattach it when you want additional coverage against the weather. An insulated collar provides warmth around the neck, giving the suit another useful point of coverage beyond the main body insulation.
The two-way front zipper opens from either the top or bottom, so access is not limited to unzipping the suit from the neck downward. A single snap closure at the front adds to the closure arrangement and helps retain warmth. Leg zippers give you easier access around your footwear when putting boots on or taking them off—a useful detail when getting ready for a day in the snow.
Pockets and identifying details
Two lined side slash pockets provide a place to warm your hands between tasks. A separate front zippered pocket keeps small items and accessories secured rather than loose in an open pocket. Red, white, and blue stripes run along each arm and the left chest pocket, adding a distinctive visual detail to this winter coverall.

For customers spending extended periods in cold weather, the key consideration is the suit's all-in-one coverage. Its removable hood and two-way zipper offer ways to adjust that coverage, while the leg openings make boot access easier without changing to a separate jacket-and-pants setup.
