Shadow GTX Jacket - Men's

You're looking for two things in a backcountry jacket: lightweight and waterproof protection. Look no further: the Salomon Men's Shadow GTX Jacket isn't just Salomon's lightest backcountry jacket, it's also the most technical. A 3-layer Gore-Tex Pro membrane gives this jacket guaranteed waterproof protection, and fully taped seams only increases your chances of staying dry while you ski down those powder-capped peaks. Despite its fantastic waterproof qualities, this jacket remains highly breathable so you stay comfortable while you hike over the snowy slopes. And an Air Vent system allows the maximum amount of heat to escape when you pick up a sweat out there.

A relaxed fit leaves plenty of room in the Shadow GTX for many layers, and it lets you move whether you're twisting around to take your skins off or signaling to your touring buddies. It features a stretchy powder skirt that you can remove when snow isn't an issue. The hood either cinches across your helmet or your head if you lead a more dangerous life. Inner Lycra cuffs are soft against your wrists, and they keep the sleeves in place while the hook-and-loop outer cuffs seal out those blustery blizzards. And a Recco avalanche rescue reflector may help Recco-equipped ski patrols find you.
