Cottonwoods Xpore 3L Jacket is built to outlast the season

We built the Cottonwoods Xpore 3L Jacket to survive an entire season of real abuse, not just look tough on a hanger. Its 3-layer Xpore membrane is fully seam sealed, solvent-free, and carries no intentionally added PFAS, keeping it waterproof and breathable through the resort and the backcountry without leaning on chemistry we'd have to explain away later. The durable 70D face fabric and recycled nylon backer take the scrapes and load-bearing wear a real season delivers and keep performing the next one.


What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I dig into my chest pocket for my phone mid-lift line without touching a single buckle on my pack. The waist strap tunnels straight through behind the hand pockets, so the belt never blocks the pocket I actually need."


Details

  • 3L Xpore shell handles full resort and backcountry seasons
  • Angled, easy-to-reach vents dump heat while a powder skirt blocks snow
  • Gusseted cuffs and wrist gaiters seal over or under gloves
  • YKK AquaGuard zippers keep water out at every seam
  • Grid tricot at the collar and chin guard adds soft comfort
  • Articulated elbows and pivot sleeves free up movement
  • Chest, hand warmer, and lens-dump pockets stay organized
  • Recycled nylon face fabric skips intentionally added PFAS
