DAKINE

Airstream Jacket - Men's

When you're living in a trailer at the base of Steven's Pass, you can't (always) depend on the roof to keep you dry, so it's seriously important to have a bomber waterproof shell like the Dakine Airstream Men's Jacket. The burliest jacket in Dakine's lineup, the Airstream is built to keep you drier than a desert, with a three-layer Gore-Tex waterproof and breathable membrane, a DWR coating, and fully taped seams, along with sweet tech features like low-profile side vents and a Lycra powder skirt to keep you cool and prevent the snow from sneaking into your pants when the wind blows down your trailer door. 

When you actually hit the mountain, the Airstream's 75D polyester shell won't get torn to shreds when you're ripping tight trees, and the multiple pass pockets keep you slipping through the lift lines like butter. When you're on the lift, cinch the one-pull helmet-compatible hood tight around your dome to block out the howling wind, duck your chin down into the soft internal chin flap, and crank your tunes to 11 to get stoked for the next lap. If you're hiking for turns, you'll dig the shoulder print that holds pack straps solidly in place and the collar venting that blocks beardsicle build-up, along with the slightly slim Contour fit that moves with you without the need for extra fabric.
