Size:4
Color:Night Blue

We go out no matter the weather and we believe in bringing our kids with us to share the experience. Winter storm days on the slopes have become some of our favorite days... when we have the right gear that protects us from the elements . If we expect our kids to come with us, and to enjoy the experience as well, it only makes sense that their gear has to be as good as ours. That is why we made the Elevated Hardshell with top of the line waterproofing, breathability, full seam taping, underarm vents and all of the premium features you would expect in a top of the line adult ski / snowboard jacket. Why did we make it an uninsulated shell? Because we use a versatile skin-to-shell layering system for ourselves. So why shouldn’t our kids be able to change out their layers to suit the conditions of a given adventure too? For spring skiing, rock the shell over a baselayer for wind and slush protection. In the cold of winter layer or zip-in the Element Insulator (sold separately) for that added warmth. Our mission is to build products that allow you and your family to blend seamlessly into any environment and enhance your outdoor experiences. As the old saying goes, “there is no bad weather, just bad gear.” We’ll see you out there.

Kids' Elevated Hardshell

product features

WATERPROOF & BREATHABLE

With a 20k waterproof rating, the Elevated Hardshell is a snow shell that is more waterproof than most kids’ rain jackets. Many other brands claim “fully waterproof” but are really not (or not for very long). Most kids’ gear has a waterproof rating of 10k (or usually less) so we encourage you to research the details.
Fully Seam Taped

Every single seam is taped. No short cuts here. Many brands only "critically seam tape" to save money.
Insulation Compatible

The Elevated Hardshell is un-insulated to provide maximum layering versatility. The Element Insulator (sold separately) can be layered underneath or zipped in to the hardshell for additional warmth.
2-WAY SLEEVE LENGTH ADJUSTMENT

Rather than sleeves that only extend by ripping a seam and sacrifice waterproofness, our Adjust-A-Fit System allows sleeves to be shortened for a custom fit today, lengthened as kids grow, and then re-shortened for a hand-me-down later.
ZIPPERED UNDERARM VENTS

Shredding is hard work. Zippered underarm vents allow kids to easily dump heat and stay comfortable on the mountain.
A real shell jacket for kids. Basically a scaled down adult jacket with all the features needed. No corners skipped.

how it compares

Scroll down for detailed look at performance levels, features, and your ultimate price. Although we only sell directly to you with no retail markups, we show the "retail value" of our products so you can compare value head-to-head as well.

why pay more for less?

Our direct-to-consumer business model means we sell our products directly to you with no retail markup like other brands. Cutting out that middleman markup reduces our prices by about 40% on average. That is what allows us to use these higher quality materials, include more features, and sell it directly to you for a fair price. When your kids outgrow our Adjust-A-Fit system, you can send your jacket in to our Renewed Program and get a discount off their new gear in bigger sizes.

Higher performance

We travel the world and find the best performance materials and combine that with a design ethos that is centered on product versatility. Better products, that you can use in a wider range of conditions, that last longer.

premium features

By having a more efficient business model that eliminates the retail markup we can spend more money than other brands to include all of the premium features that enhance your time on the mountain.
