Watching everyone else ski to their heart's content when we're continually stopping in the lodge to warm up is heartbreaking. This season, we opt for the Rab Men's Valiance Jacket to avoid missing out on first tracks, fresh stashes, and last chairs. Combining a fully-sealed, waterproof outer layer and the hydrophobic 800-fill goose down packed into the box-wall baffles creates a tough defense against snow, rain, and wind. Every zipper contains its own leak-proof seal, so we can stay on the hill for as long as we want.
