Cold chairlift laps and slackcountry hikes call for a shell that moves as fast as you do. The Powder Town Jacket pairs a waterproof, breathable H2No shell with an articulated cut and a slick mesh liner, so you stay dry and unrestricted whether you're carving groomers or picking a line through the trees.
The face fabric is a tough 2-layer, 5.6-oz 75-denier 100% recycled polyester plain weave built to the H2No Performance Standard for waterproof/breathable protection and finished with a durable water repellent (DWR) treatment. A 3.8-oz recycled polyester tricot mesh liner wicks warmth and glides over layers, while coated, waterproof zippers help seal out spindrift. The whole system weighs just 680 g (23.98 oz).
Standout features:
- Two-way-adjustable hood — helmet-compatible fixed hood with a laminated visor to preserve visibility, plus a tall collar that protects the neck and face even with the hood down
- Easy-access pit zips — quickly release heat on the skin track, and articulated arms keep you reaching overhead unrestricted
- Powder skirt — low-profile skirt with a center-back webbing loop that connects to any Powder Town Pants to lock out snow
- Six-pocket storage — two brushed-tricot-lined handwarmer pockets, a zippered chest pocket and a zippered forearm pocket outside, plus an interior zip pocket and drop-in pocket
- Hem adjustment & RECCO reflector — hem cinches through the front handwarmer pockets, and a concealed RECCO reflector helps rescuers pinpoint your location
- Waterproof zippers — coated, waterproof zippers throughout keep melting snow from seeping in
Made in a Fair Trade Certified factory, which means the people who sewed it earned a premium for their labor. The shell and linings are 100% recycled polyester, the lining fabrics are certified bluesign approved, and the fabric, membrane and DWR finishes are made without intentionally added PFAS.
It's the right pick for resort days that swing between bluebird sun and blowing snow, for sidecountry hikes where breathability matters, and for anyone who wants full range of motion from a do-it-all snow shell. Layer it over insulation on the coldest mornings, then wear it as a clean shell when the sun comes back out.
