Powder Maven Down Jacket - Women's

RDS-certified down insulation ensures that the down used in our jackets comes from ducks and geese that are treated humanely. This certification guarantees that the birds are not subjected to live-plucking or force-feeding, promoting ethical sourcing. Choosing RDS-certified products means you’re supporting animal welfare while enjoying high-quality insulation for warmth.

The RECCO technology features a small reflector sewn into the jacket that helps search and rescue teams locate individuals buried in avalanches. When a RECCO detector emits radar signals, the reflector bounces them back, making it easier for rescuers to find you in case of an emergency. This added safety feature is especially beneficial for those who enjoy backcountry skiing or snowboarding.

A powder skirt is a flexible band of fabric that fits around your waist and can be attached to your ski pants. It prevents snow from entering your jacket when you fall or when snow is kicked up during skiing or snowboarding. This feature helps keep you dry and warm, enhancing your overall comfort on the slopes.

A 2-layer shell fabric consists of an outer layer that protects against wind and water, paired with a comfortable lining. This construction not only keeps you dry from external elements but also allows moisture from sweat to escape, ensuring breathability. It’s designed for active use, making it ideal for skiing and other outdoor activities.

Mesh-lined underarm zippers provide ventilation by allowing you to open them when you get warm during physical activities like skiing or snowboarding. The mesh lining keeps snow out while still permitting airflow, helping you regulate your body temperature and stay comfortable throughout your adventure.

Yes! The combination of RDS-certified down insulation, RECCO technology, powder skirts, 2-layer shell fabric, and mesh-lined underarm zippers makes our jackets versatile and suitable for various winter sports. Whether you’re skiing, snowboarding, or hiking in cold conditions, these features work together to provide warmth, safety, and comfort.
