Sweet Protection

Hammer Jacket - Men's

Bold style and technical chops aren't the dogs and cats of the ski world. In fact, the two can get along just fine by incorporating thoughtful design, as evidenced by the Men's Hammer Jacket from Sweet Protection. Sure, it has a relaxed freeride-y fit, but Sweet Protection also designed it with a 2-layer Gore-Tex membrane to keep you bone-dry, fully taped seams to prevent moisture from leaking inside, and a tuck-away powder skirt to stop blower pow when you're stomping cliff drops into chest-deep pow.

When you're earning your turns or boot-packing for repeats, the zippered underarm vents are much appreciated, as is the helmet-compatible hood when you're gladly suffering through gale-force gusts on powder days. Wrist gaiters help you stay warm and dry when you accidentally tomahawk into a fluffy pile of snow, and the soft chin guard offers a safe haven from frigids winds. Sweet Protection also hooked it up with an audio-specific pocket, so you can motivate yourself before hucking the huge cliff looming underneath the lift for everyone to spectate.
