What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"This jacket is dialed for high-output skiing. The stretch softshell gives me full mobility, and the Polartec panels under the arms and back let heat escape when I’m pushing hard. I like that the front is wind- and water-resistant, while the lighter fabric on the arms prevents overheating. It’s become my go-to for training days."When we’re logging training miles on crisp winter mornings, the Pace Jacket gives us the balance of protection and breathability we need. Built for high-intensity cross-country skiing, it combines a classic design with modern technical features to keep us moving fast and light. The wind- and water-resistant softshell shields us from winter conditions, while the 3-way stretch construction ensures unrestricted glide and pole movement. Targeted fabric mapping adds performance where it matters most. Brushed panels at the front and lower back provide warmth and protection, while Polartec stretch panels at the center back and underarms maximize breathability and ventilation. A higher neckline with soft Polartec inside adds comfort and defense against the chill, and lighter fabric on the arms helps keep temperature under control. Finished with an adjustable hem, elastic cuffs, and zippered hand pockets, the Pace Jacket is a versatile layer that keeps us focused on the trail ahead.
