Stage 14 Jacket - Men's

Talking about protection in other contexts can get a little awkward, like the time your dad sat you down for an uncomfortable talk when you were in seventh grade. But when it comes to the DC Men's Stage 14 jacket, it's highly relevant to talk about protection. This waterproof jacket with 350 grams of super-insulating down and a longer length preferred by DC's pro riders, is made for mid-winter's nastiest weather. The hood and high collar, along with a hidden face mask that can be pulled out from a pouch at the back of the neck, fully cover the head, chin, and the front of your face; while channels from the inside to the outside of the collar (DC's Respirator Breathing System) allow you to continue to breathe easily with your mouth fully shielded from the frigid air. A powder skirt, and Lycra cuff gaiters round out the protection in keeping snow sealed out at the waist and cuffs. If the jacket's protection starts getting a little too stifling as you or the air temperature warm up, you can unzip the mesh-lined underarm vents for some relief without letting snow in. With this jacket, you can rest assured that you will stay comfortable and protected, unless of course, for some reason you decide to ditch your pants, leading to another one of life's awkward moments.
