Winning awards and being a champ's first pick, the Nomad has a permanent spot in our kit. The new material build is more supple than the typical 3-layer shell, giving us more flexible and breathable performance as we shred back bowls and chase backcountry pow. When the mountain whips us with its icy winds, we pull the microfleece-lined hood over our beanie for added protection from the onslaught, while the underarm vents let our core's building heat escape as we carve through soul-reviving fluff.
