That extremely old, slow, and cold two-person lift that hauls us to the park is a whole lot more comfortable, and not to mention better looking, when we're riding in the Aftershock Jacket. Toasty recycled insulation throughout traps precious body heat and adds warmth on the wind-blasted lift, while its tough Micro Ripstop shell delivers breathable protection against rain, sleet, and, snow. Integrated wrist gaiters with thumbholes and a snap-away powder skirt work together to prevent snow from sneaking into the kit when we tomahawk through an untouched pow field, and the zippered underarm vents dump excess heat quickly when we have to slog back up said pow field in search of our goggles, gloves, and beanie.
