The adjustable, helmet-compatible hood offers complete coverage without compromising peripheral vision, while the Pant Jacket Connect™ system locks out snow and drafts for a fully sealed-in feel. Smart features like the Phone Heater Pocket, which uses your body heat to extend your device´s battery life, and reflective accents for enhanced visibility in low-light conditions, elevate this jacket from essential to exceptional. It’s the dependable workhorse you´ll reach for season after season.
