The starting zone of a gut-churning drop is not the place to let weather influence outcome. This waterproof jacket combines compressible insulation with a durable shell to match the energy level of big air, parks and freeride descents. It has a 2-layer, 100% polyester herringbone-weave shell with a waterproof/breathable H2No barrier and a Deluge DWR (durable water repellent) finish so you can stay out when the weather closes in. Insulated with lightweight yet ultrawarm Thermogreen polyester (90% recycled), the Insulated Snowbelle stays warm when wet and feels wickedly soft; we quilt the insulation in place to eliminate shifting. A soft internal lining wicks moisture and glides smoothly over layers. The rest of the story includes a removable, 2-way-adjustable hood that accommodates a helmet, articulated sleeves with pit zips for venting heat, a fleece neck gasket and microfleece-lined collar for spindrift and an adjustable powder skirt (with webbing loops that connect to any Patagonia Ski/Snowboard pants). Handwarmer pockets hold your lunch money; a chest pocket stores your music player; with an inside zippered stash and drop-in pocket. |
