Neither long lift lines nor intense skin track climbs can keep us out of the snow, and we love that The North Face Ceptor Jacket makes a great shell on both resort and backcountry riding. DryVent's waterproof power keeps snow from melting into our kit, and its breathable design ensures we don't overheat when we're shredding hard on sunshiney days or hauling our gear to a remote peak. This simplified jacket is complex enough for suitable cold-weather protection and doesn't bog us down with features we don't need.
