Almost like a magic trick, the Alpine Start Hoody can be stored in its own chest pocket and stowed away until you need it. This comes in handy for backcountry skiers looking to shed layers on the up and thaw out for the down. Resort shredders can count on it as well—because we all know that the last thing you can depend on is reliable weather. It’s also water- and abrasion-resistant for when the going gets tough. Lastly, it has built-in stretch to prevent restriction of movement while on the skin track, bootpack or traverse.
