The North Face

NFZ Jacket - Men's

OK, The North Face's NFZ Men's Jacket doesn't boast any insulation--it's a shell, not a parka--but it's perfect for serious shredders who like to let their riding keep them warm. Or, you know, layer up. Made of rugged polyester, hooked up with fully taped seams, and laminated to a Gore-Tex waterproof and breathable membrane, the NFZ will keep you dry and comfortable through the nastiest January storms, with plenty of style to keep you standing out from the crowd. The stretch powder skirt and thumb-loop cuffs keep snow from sneaking in when you're zipping around the mountain, and the underarm zips make it easy to cool off on those surprisingly warm March afternoons. There's even an embedded Recco reflector, which gives you some added security in the event of an avalanche on those silly-deep resort days.
