Technologies

The shell and lining use 100% recycled polyester to balance durability with winter-ready resistance. The fleece-lined goggle pocket protects lenses from scratches and helps reduce fogging with temperature swings. The quick-drying mesh-padded back panel boosts breathability and comfort when the pace ramps up. Insulated hydration compatibility shields the hose from the cold, while a two-way radio integrates easily to coordinate your group. The external quick-stash pocket stays accessible, even with gloves, for a layer or damp gloves. Internal sleeves stabilize shovel and probe inside the snow tool pocket for precise, efficient handling.

• Diagonal or A-frame ski carry: Stable attachment for skis or a splitboard, reducing swing and fatigue on long, steep approaches.
• Shell and lining in 100% recycled polyester: Moisture- and abrasion-resistant, durable and responsible, built for cold, wet conditions with no fussy upkeep.
• Quick-drying mesh-padded back panel: Extra comfort and efficient ventilation that limit moisture build-up after carries and intense transitions to keep your back dry.

Rider Tips

Choose A-frame ski carry for long, steep sections, and diagonal for short traverses. Tighten the sternum strap with whistle and adjust the 38 mm hip belt to maximize stability on the descent. Stow your shovel and probe in the snow tool pocket for instant access. Purge air from the reservoir and use insulated hydration in cold weather.
