The Rothco Ski and Rescue Suit is a men's one-piece insulated snowsuit built for extended cold-weather use, including skiing, snowmobiling, hunting, and outdoor work. The 100% nylon shell is water resistant, and Hollofil 808 hollow-core insulation provides warmth and loft throughout the suit. Available in sizes Small through 6XL.
Built for Cold-Weather Endurance
The Rothco Ski and Rescue Suit uses Hollofil 808 insulation, which features a hollow core that traps air to maximize warmth and loft. The heavy oxford nylon shell works alongside that insulation layer to block wind, rain, and snow, so the suit stays effective across a range of cold-weather conditions rather than only in dry cold.
Heat Retention You Can Adjust
The detachable zip-off hood attaches and removes via a back zipper, letting the wearer adapt to changing conditions without changing gear. An insulated collar retains heat at the neck when the hood is off. Two lined side slash pockets keep hands warm and dry during breaks or transitions.
Designed for Easy On and Off
A two-way front zipper opens from the top or the bottom, making the suit easier to manage in layered cold-weather clothing. A single snap closure at the top of the front zipper adds an extra seal against drafts. Leg zippers at the ankles let the wearer pull the suit on and off over boots without removing footwear, which matters when temperatures make that a slow and uncomfortable process.
Features
- Hollofil 808 Insulation: Hollow-core fill traps air for warmth and loft throughout the one-piece suit.

Who This Is For and Isn't
The Rothco Ski and Rescue Suit suits men who spend extended time outdoors in cold, wet, or windy conditions: skiers, snowmobilers, hunters, and outdoor workers who need a single insulated layer that handles wind and moisture together. The wide size range, from Small to 6XL, accommodates a broad range of builds.
This suit is not rated for ballistic or stab protection and provides no body armor function. It is a cold-weather garment only. Buyers needing a suit that doubles as a flotation or immersion device should look elsewhere, as no such rating is stated for this product. California residents should note the Prop 65 warning for DEHP.
Common Questions
What insulation does the Rothco Ski and Rescue Suit use, and how does it work?
The Rothco Ski and Rescue Suit is lined with Hollofil 808 insulation, which uses a hollow-core fiber design to trap air inside each strand. That trapped air acts as an insulating layer, increasing warmth and loft compared to a solid-fiber fill of the same weight.
Is the Rothco Ski and Rescue Suit waterproof or water resistant?
The Rothco Ski and Rescue Suit is water resistant, not waterproof. The heavy oxford nylon shell repels wind, rain, and snow during typical cold-weather activity, but carries no stated waterproofing standard or rating beyond water resistant.
Can the hood be removed, and what happens to neck coverage without it?
Yes. The Rothco Ski and Rescue Suit has a detachable zip-off hood that attaches and removes via a back zipper. When the hood is removed, an insulated collar at the neck continues to provide coverage and retain heat, so the suit remains functional in milder conditions without the hood attached.
How do the leg zippers work, and why does that matter?
The Rothco Ski and Rescue Suit has zippers at the ankles of each leg. These allow the wearer to pull the suit on or take it off without removing boots first, which is a practical advantage when temperatures make unlacing and relacing footwear slow or uncomfortable.
What sizes does the Rothco Ski and Rescue Suit come in?
The Rothco Ski and Rescue Suit is available in nine sizes: Small, Medium, Large, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL, and 6XL. Suit weight increases with size, ranging from 2.85 lb at Small through XL up to 3.75 lb at 5XL. A weight is not listed for the 6XL variant in the available data.

The Bulletproof Zone Promise
When you buy body armor, you're buying your safety. We don't take that lightly. Here's what every order from Bulletproof Zone includes.
1. Authorized dealer of every brand we carry
Every plate, vest, and carrier we ship comes from the manufacturer directly to our warehouse. We don't sell gray-market product, surplus, or returns. That means factory-fresh stock, the full manufacturer warranty, and real after-sale support — the kind only an authorized dealer can offer.
We maintain authorized-dealer relationships with America's leading body armor brands, including Spartan Armor Systems, AR500 Armor, RMA Defense, Shellback Tactical, Caliber Armor, DFNDR Armor, Protection Group Denmark, BulletSafe, BulletBlocker, and over 40 more.
2. Best price, guaranteed
If you find a lower price at another authorized dealer of the same product within six months of your purchase, we'll refund the difference.
Why the "authorized dealer" requirement? Because gray-market and surplus armor may not be genuine, may have a compromised supply chain, and almost never comes with a manufacturer warranty. We won't price-match against products that may not actually protect you.
3. Free fitment consultation
Body armor only protects you if it fits. Email us a photo and your measurements before you order, and one of our specialists will help you size your carrier and plates correctly — at no charge, no obligation.
4. Trusted by thousands of customers
Bulletproof Zone has been a trusted authorized dealer of America's leading body armor manufacturers for over five years. We have over 4,000 verified Trustpilot reviews from real customers across all 50 states.

- Discounted items and "free with purchase" items are not eligible.
- The item must be in stock on the competitor's website at the time of your request.
- The price match is valid for six months from the date of your purchase.
- The competitor must be an authorized dealer of the product. Auction sites (eBay, Overstock), discounters, and gray-market resellers do not qualify.
- The competitor must operate an online store. Brick-and-mortar-only retailers do not qualify.

To request a price match, email us a link to the product on our site and the same product on the competitor's site within six months of purchase. We'll process the refund.
