Freerando Neo Jacket - Men's

You've been exploring the backcountry for years, which means you've gone through more than you fair share of shells. And frankly, ski jacket styles can get, well, stale. When you're ready for something different, pull on the Millet Men's Touring Neo Jacket and look at the snow-bathed wilderness, and the jackets that go with it, with a fresh perspective. This waterproof, breathable jacket takes haute-couture to high altitudes, whether you're touring with the usual crew or riding a lift with tourists, you'll stay dry and moving freely in the Touring Neo jacket.

Polartec Neoshell makes chocolate-layer cake look boring. No messy icing is involved in this three-layer piece of towering technicality. The juxtaposition of burly and soft gives the face fabric durability and sweet feelings, and the inner layer won't rub you the wrong way. The real treat is the middle layer: an exclusive membrane incorporated into submicronic fibres. Huh? Snow and powder won't get in and sweaty vapor gets out, so you stay comfortable from the first slide of your skins, to lunch break at the summit, to stashing your gear in the trunk at the end of the day.

Heat-taped seams eliminate any ares where moisture might enter, and The DWR finish makes light moisture bead along the face of the shell. Touring takes work and when that effort starts to leave you hot, open the underarm vents for an instant hit of cool, fresh air. The Alpine fit slips over your baselayers but leaves little fabric to flap in the breeze. A visor on the hood redirects rain and snow away from your face without clouding the panoramic view. The chest pockets open on the outside to reveal a security pocket and storage pocket that you can also access from the inside.
