The North Face's big-mountain Summit Verbier GTX Jacket blends backcountry and resort features to create the perfect shell for the powder-hungry. With eco-conscious updates, including recycled fabric and a PFC-free DWR finish, this articulated shell offers more than simple snowproof protection. GORE-TEX technology provides the reliable coverage we need while hiking through storms and surfing through powder, and a helmet-compatible hood and grippy powder skirt prevent any loose pow from sneaking in the top or bottom. Massive alpine-style pockets keep backcountry equipment close, or while we're in bounds, a zippered pass sleeve on the pocket lets us scan for access to the lift in a flash.
