What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I rode in the GTX Hex Jacket on a deep day at Snowbird and it kept me bone dry-even during long chairlift rides in wet snow. I love the mountain-inspired design and thoughtful touches like helmet-compatible hood, powder skirt, and tons of pockets. It's a stylish shell that performs when it counts."The GTX Hex Jacket is our go-to shell when we want to turn heads while staying dry on stormy days. The North Face combined its iconic mountain aesthetic with modern performance, offering up a jacket that's built for skiers and snowboarders who ride no matter the weather-and want to do it in standout style. At the core of the GTX Hex is a GORE-TEX 2-layer membrane for reliable waterproofing and wind protection, bolstered by a non-PFC DWR finish and fully taped seams. It's loaded with functional details like helmet-compatible hood adjustment, underarm vents for dump-on-demand airflow, a removable powder skirt, and more than enough secure-zip and internal stash pockets to organize everything from your pass and goggles to your snack stash. From groomer laps to sidecountry bootpacks, this shell stands out in more ways than one.
