A highly waterproof and protective jacket for backcountry freeride.

This waterproof shell jacket (754g M/L 666g W/M) is made for powder runs in the backcountry but works excellent for all kinds of ski and snowboard activities as well.

The jacket is made in a premium GORE-TEX® fabric. We use it because it’s the world-leading quality for durable waterproofness (28,000mm), optimized breathability (RET Less than 9), and total windproofness.

The main fabric is a 3-layer 70D X 160D GORE-TEX® ePE-based PFC free technology (RET less than 9) with a 100% recycled nylon face (152 g/m2). It is reinforced with 3-layer 200D GORE-TEX® ePE-based PFC free technology (RET less than 9) with a 100% recycled nylon face fabric (221 g/m2) on the shoulders and elbows as these areas are more exposed. Both recycled, and solution dyed with C-KNIT nylon backer.
