Whether you're skiing the magnificent Haute Route or stemming the wild ice on Alberta's Riptide, you need warm, compressible insulation. This jacket can be layered under a shell in biting cold, or wom alone with a base layer in more humane conditions. Strategic placement of our stretchy R1 on the sides of torso, inner elbows, forearms and cuffs accommodates the body twists and long reaches of every backcountry contortionist. The women's version has a feminine cut.
