Ultimate Quiver of One Shell

By Backcountry.com Employee February 8, 2010

I wanted a four-season shell that I could use for ski touring, mountaineering, and backpacking and I'm pretty sure I've found it. Been skiing a bunch of days in it already and looking forward to using it in the mountains this summer. Fabric is burly but the jacket is super lightweight. No unnecessary frills, just light, bomber protection.
Yea, it's spendy, but like any other piece of gear, you get what you pay for.
