In recent years, Backcountry has stepped out from behind the counter to do some in-depth research and development to bring seriously good gear to the ski market. The technically-proficient Cardiac jacket and bib are prime examples of this commitment, riding the fine line between technical performance and stylish color-blocking. The technicality begins with a fully seam-sealed construction that uses GORE-TEX ePE 3L membrane, body-mapping and articulated design for maneuverability and protection on-the-go.
Angled pit zips ensure that a backpack won’t interfere with venting and side zips on the bib combine to create a drop seat when needed. A bevy of high and low pockets allow you to carry everything you need and also pass through the chest, granting access to the interior mesh pockets to snag some snacks on the fly. Around the cuff of the bib, you’ll find Kevlar kick panels for durability, zippered gussets for versatility and stretch boot gaiters for comfortability.
