Technical Insulation Engineering
Synthetic core performance
Engineered synthetic insulation maintains warmth when wet, offering quick-drying comfort during variable mountain weather and transitional seasons.
Breathability and airflow control
Strategic mesh panels and underarm zippers actively vent heat during aggressive runs, reducing that clammy feeling after long descents.
Urban Function and Commute Design
Everyday mobility
Articulated sleeves and a slightly shortened body allow layering under a shell without binding, ideal for bike commuting and transit stops.
Stash and security features
Two secure handwarmer pockets and a zip chest pocket keep lift passes, keys, and phones accessible while keeping your silhouette streamlined.
Weather Protection and Durability
Surface fabrics and construction
A DWR finish combined with taped seams sheds snow and light rain, while reinforced panels at the shoulders resist abrasion from ski straps.
Zipper and hem management
Waterproof zippers and a removable hem cinch seal out drafts and wet air, so gusts and slush stay outside during changing conditions.
Performance on the Slopes
Movement and layering compatibility
The balanced cut layers easily over base layers without riding up, and the hem pocket securely holds cables so your layers stay put during steep traverses.
Visibility and practical details
Reflective piping and subtle branding increase visibility in low light, while ski pass compatibility and secure pockets streamline lift lines and slopeside stops.
