Incredibly rad. This jacket is soft, amazingly functional, durable, and warm. I shredded Big Sky, Eldora, and Winter Park. Temperatures ranged from 10 degrees to 40 degrees and the jacket did exactly what I needed. The fit is great, the color is rad, and the helmet fit was perfect.

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.
the little things

Best Snow Gear
"WORTH THE PRICE! Loved that the hood is helmet compatible and that the seams are fully tapped. It is the best snow gear that I have had in years and it for sure is worth the price."
