Backcountry Gearhead(R) Recommendation: "This jacket is dialed for ski touring and backcountry missions. The GORE-TEX ePE membrane breathes really well when skinning but still blocks out snow and wind on descents. I love the big chest pockets-they fit skins perfectly-and the vent zips make it easy to dump heat fast. It's lightweight, durable, and designed to move with you on every turn." We trust the Fjallraven Bergtagen GTX Lite Jacket when the skintrack steepens and the weather shifts without warning. Designed for ski touring and splitboarding, this technical shell combines durable recycled polyamide with GORE-TEX's advanced ePE-based membrane for breathable, waterproof, and windproof performance on demanding alpine missions. Every feature serves a purpose: a helmet-compatible hood adjusts for full coverage, underarm zippers regulate heat on the climb, and an integrated snow skirt seals out deep powder on the descent. Two large vertical chest pockets hold skins or gloves, while mesh-lined interior pockets double as vents and stash space. With its articulated fit and focus on repairable, long-term design, the Bergtagen GTX Lite Jacket stands as a reliable, sustainable layer built to weather years of high-elevation adventure.
