What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I wore the Bergtagen GTX Touring Jacket on a long splitboard tour with a big vertical gain and barely noticed the weight on the skin track. The side vents let me dump heat on the climb, then the snow skirt kept everything sealed up on the ride down."A day of ski touring asks a jacket to work just as hard on the climb as it does on the descent, and the Bergtagen GTX Touring Jacket from Fjallraven is cut for both halves of that day. Picture a dawn skin track up a quiet bowl, sweat building on the climb, then a fast, wind-loaded descent back down, the same jacket handling every mile of it. A lightweight GORE-TEX Performance membrane keeps the pack small enough to stash on a warmer climb, while stretch through the cut and body keeps every stride and turn unrestricted. Zippered side vents with mesh lining dump heat fast on the way up, a dedicated ski pass pocket on the sleeve keeps the lift check simple, and an interior snow skirt locks out spindrift once the turns start. Built with repair in mind rather than replacement, it's ready for season after season on the skin track.
