Boundary Ridge GORE-TEX 3L Jacket - Men's

GORE-TEX fabric is designed to be both waterproof and breathable. This means it keeps water out while allowing sweat and moisture to escape, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable during outdoor activities, even in wet conditions. It's perfect for jackets, pants, and footwear used in rain or snow.

A 3-layer fabric consists of an outer durable layer, a middle GORE-TEX membrane for waterproofing, and an inner lightweight lining. This construction enhances the durability of the gear, provides comfort, and makes it easier to pack. It ensures that your jacket can withstand various weather conditions while remaining lightweight and functional.

RECCO technology includes a reflector embedded in outdoor gear that helps rescue teams locate individuals in emergencies, such as avalanches. When a rescuer uses a detector that emits a signal, it bounces off the RECCO reflector, allowing them to pinpoint your location quickly. This added safety feature is especially valuable for skiers and snowboarders.

A powder skirt is an adjustable band of fabric inside ski and snowboard jackets that fits snugly around your waist. It prevents snow from entering the jacket when you're skiing or snowboarding in deep powder, helping to keep you dry and warm. This feature is essential for maintaining comfort during winter sports.

'Active Fit' refers to a style of clothing designed to be close to the body without being restrictive. This fit allows for a full range of motion, making it ideal for activities like skiing and snowboarding where mobility is crucial. Choosing gear with an Active Fit ensures you can move freely while staying comfortable.

If you plan to engage in outdoor activities in wet or snowy conditions, a jacket with GORE-TEX will keep you dry, while a powder skirt will help prevent snow from entering. Look for an Active Fit to ensure comfort and mobility. Consider your specific activities and weather conditions to determine if these features meet your needs.
