Serious skiers and snowboarders, listen up - this Dakine Reach jacket is built for those brutal mountain days when the weather turns nasty. The 20K/20K laminate rating means you're getting complete waterproof and breathable protection - we're talking staying dry in heavy snow and driving wind. The insulation uses Thermore ECODOWN-FE 60 HL, which provides amazing warmth without the bulk, so you can move freely on the slopes. There are so many smart features here - pit zips for when you need to dump heat on those strenuous climbs, an anti-fog breath vent to keep your goggles clear, and a RECCO reflector for added safety in case of avalanche. The powder skirt keeps snow from sneaking up your back during those epic wipeouts, and the 3-inch drop tail gives you extra coverage when you're bent over adjusting bindings. Storage is well thought out too - extra large chest pockets for your pass and goggles, secure hand pockets, plus internal mesh stash pockets for your phone or snacks. The fixed hood is tri-pull adjustable so it fits perfectly over your helmet without blocking vision. Everything is fully taped seam construction, so no water is sneaking through stitches. The PFC-free DWR coating is environmentally friendly but still beads water like crazy. Whether you're hitting the resort backcountry or just dealing with a particularly stormy day on the mountain, this jacket has the technical features to keep you comfortable and focused on your riding rather than the weather.
