The Men's GORE-TEX Dawnstrike Insulated Jacket is a do-it-all winter jacket that combines GORE-TEX® waterproofing with HEATSEEKER™ Advanced synthetic insulation in a single piece — for anyone who wants one technical jacket that handles cold-rain commuting, wet-weather ski touring, and the variable winter conditions where a separate shell and insulation isn't practical. It's built from a durably waterproof GORE-TEX® 2L (two-layer) fabric with a recycled polyester body and recycled nylon lining.
HEATSEEKER™ Advanced dual-fiber insulation delivers a high warmth-to-weight ratio with packability, and the details cross over from mountain to city. An attached, fully adjustable, ski-helmet-compatible hood gives real coverage, underarm zips with a power-mesh lining vent without letting snow in, and a powder skirt with gripper elastic plus a jacket-to-pant integration clip seals out off-piste snow. A chest pocket, a covered secure-zip pass pocket with a goggle wipe, sueded-lined hand pockets, and internal drop-in, secure-zip, and media-loop storage round out the layout, with bonded cuff tabs and internal wrist gaiters completing the weather seal.
