Hood

Snow melt is for the mountain, not your helmet.

Storm ready hood

Other hoods allow snow to melt and drip into your goggles. Our weighted design sheds moisture, keeping your vision clear. The Nivis hood fully encapsulates your helmet, blocking wind and snow. The stiff weighted brim creates a secure seal, and extends forward to prevent snow from melting into your goggles and causing fog.

Aerogel pocket

Protect your phone from the cold with the lightest solid known to Man.

Originally developed for aerospace applications by NASA, aerogel has the lowest recorded thermal conductivity of any physical material, and we’ve used it to line a single pocket designed to hold your phone and preserve its battery outdoors. Use it to keep an extra camera battery or sensitive electronics. Some might consider this overkill, but we consider it lifesaving. And just plain smart.
4-way stretch

Make contact with a branch and your jacket may not make another season.

Stretch fabric for comfort and durability.

Our supple 4-way stretch fabric doesn’t just make movement easier, it helps your jacket last longer by avoiding rips or tears. Strike a branch it’s going to sting, but the extra give in our fabric reduces the chance you’ll need to replace it entirely.

Discover the features that set our jackets apart.

Watertight at every turn
The YKK Aquaguard zipper is the gold standard when it comes to outerwear zippers that help keep your jacket waterproof. With a waterproof film applied to the reverse side of the zipper chain and a durable water repellent treatment on the front, no snow or water should leak in through the teeth of your zipper, even when it’s pelted by the elements.

Watertight at every turn

100% seam sealed to stay dry
The seams in our jacket are fully sealed with waterproof taping so there’s no chance of moisture sneaking inside.

100% seam sealed to stay dry

Control your own microclimate
Regulate your body temperature with dual Aquaguard zipper vents on both sides of the jacket for extra control of your comfort. Whether it’s a warm day or you just need a chilling reminder of the world outside your jacket, precise control is always by your side.

Control your own microclimate

A lifesaving standard
You may never really know when an avalanche could trigger, which is why we include RECCO reflectors on every jacket. They’re lightweight passive transponders that require no power or activation, used by emergency rescuers to locate you in an avalanche or other life threatening scenario.

Why our jackets are different from others on the mountain.

It starts with science.

And carefully applying that science to benefit skiers. From the position of a sleeve and depth of a pocket, to the precise warmth and waterproofing required for a successful run - we know because we are skiers ourselves.
