Inspired by retro pull-over designs, the Root Anorak is a comfortable head-turner that can hold up to most conditions on most days at the ski area. A long fit keeps style at a premium, while a Polartec fleece collar and two handwarmer pockets ensure you won’t be chattering while sitting on the lift on those cold winter mornings. The FW Catalyst 2L Pant 2020 provides 40 grams of PrimaLoft Black Eco insulation—made in part from post-consumer recycled materials—for further warmth, a 15K/10K rating to block moisture and promote breathability and oversized cargo pockets that ensure you’ll have plenty of room for sandwiches, brewskis or anything else you need to stow away.

FREESKIER tester thoughts: “Modern fit, tall and slim. Just right for riders who prefer a longer length jacket without the width.”

“The pocket placement and sizing were great, allowing room for a radio. And the material felt quite durable, from getting whipped with trees to descending in a rain storm, the gear held up.”
