The Eiger Shell Jacket, designed in collaboration with legendary big-mountain skier Chris Davenport (you know, the guy who skied all 54 of Colorado’s “fourteeners” in one calendar year, among dozens of other remarkable feats), can be relied upon—with proper layering (p. 86), of course—for any winter environment. It comes complete with a highly waterproof and breathable HydroWEB+ hydrophobic membrane and Spylon DWR finish that repels rain, sleet, snow and dirt while simultaneously decreasing dry time. Its lightweight construction, fully taped seams, underarm ventilation, ample pocket space and helmet-compatible hood prove its ready for anything from the most grueling backcountry adventures to full throttle resort outings.
