Coffee tastes better in a frost-covered car on your way to snagging first chair, and the fire feels just a little cozier after a long day of blazing your way to fresh tracks and knee-deep snow. A long day on the snow isn't complete without a trusty shell, and the Patagonia Powder Bowl steps right in as a high-performing go-to for those who get out early and often. Designed with a two-layer Gore-Tex membrane and a durable recycled polyester shell, this jacket keeps you bone-dry when you're lucky enough to be graced with a heavy powder dump. You've got a helmet compatible hood that quickly goes up when it starts to really come down, and underarm vents to quickly expel heat after you work up a sweat on some powdery tree runs. For the deepest of days you've got an adjustable powder skirt to keep the snow where it belongs, and an array of pockets to hold all of your on-mountain essentials.
