Shell Full-Zip Jacket - Men's

DWR Coating stands for Durable Water Repellent. It’s a treatment applied to the fabric of the jacket that helps it resist light moisture, such as rain or snow. While it won’t make the jacket completely waterproof, it keeps you dry in light conditions, making it ideal for outdoor activities where you might encounter unexpected weather.

The breathability rating indicates how well the jacket allows moisture, like sweat, to escape. A higher rating (e.g., 20,000g/m²) means better ventilation, which is crucial during physical activities like skiing or snowboarding. This helps you stay comfortable and dry, preventing overheating and excessive sweating.

Fully sealed seams are essential for keeping your jacket waterproof. This means that the stitching is covered with waterproof tape, preventing water from seeping through. If you plan to be in wet conditions, this feature ensures that you stay dry and comfortable throughout your activities.

A helmet-compatible hood is designed to fit comfortably over a ski or snowboard helmet. This feature is important because it allows you to keep your head warm and protected while wearing your helmet, ensuring both safety and comfort during your outdoor adventures.

Mesh-lined underarm zippered venting allows you to regulate your body temperature during intense activities. By opening the zippers, you can let air flow in and out, helping to cool you down when you get too warm. This feature enhances comfort and performance, especially during high-energy sports.

While the jacket is designed with features like DWR Coating and fully sealed seams to resist water, it is important to note that it is not completely waterproof. For heavy rain or snow, it’s best to check the specific waterproof rating of the jacket. If you expect to be in very wet conditions, consider layering with additional waterproof gear for optimal protection.
