The Men's Chakal Jacket is back for another season, now made with recycled materials — serious ski-jacket construction with sustainability built in. It's built around a waterproof, windproof, breathable, seam-sealed DryVent™ 2L (two-layer) shell with a non-PFC (perfluorinated-chemical-free) durable water repellent (DWR) finish and Heatseeker™ Eco Advanced insulation, a dual-fiber synthetic fill for a high warmth-to-weight ratio, packability, and durability.
The on-mountain details are all here. A removable, fully adjustable, helmet-compatible hood gives coverage without commitment when conditions warm, underarm venting regulates temperature when your output climbs, and a snap-down powder skirt with gripper elastic plus a jacket-to-trouser integration clip and internal hem cinch-cord form a full-system off-piste snow seal. Two chest pockets, covered secure-zip hand pockets, a wrist pocket with a goggle wipe, and internal chest and mesh drop-in pockets handle storage, while adjustable cuffs and integrated stretch-knit wrist gaiters with thumbholes seal the wrists.
