What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I picked up the Leader Jacket for a young hiker in my family who was already outgrowing last season's gear, and the Small to Tall cuffs let us stretch the sleeves an extra inch and a half without buying new. The Sorona insulation kept them warm through a full day of lift lines and long runs."Growth spurts should not mean a mid season jacket swap, and the Spyder Leader Jacket accounts for that from the start. We zip up young skiers before the first chair and watch them tear down run after run, confident the 10K/10K EXO SHIELD fabric is holding up against wind and wet snow the whole day. When sleeves start to feel short, the Small to Tall cuffs release an extra inch and a half of room, buying another season out of the same jacket. Sorona insulation keeps the warmth locked in without weighing down small shoulders, while a fixed powder skirt with gripper elastic seals out snow on every fall and re ride. Zippered hand and chest pockets, a dedicated data card pocket, and an internal goggle pocket give young riders the same organized setup the adults get, so nothing gets lost between runs.
