"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I’ve worn this jacket on everything from wet chairlift days to long skin tracks, and it’s the kind of shell I trust when conditions are unpredictable. The 3-layer DryVent fabric blocks wind and snow without feeling clammy, and the vents make a noticeable difference when I’m working uphill. It’s dialed for resort and backcountry crossover days."" When storms stack up and the forecast calls for another deep day, we reach for the Dragline Jacket. Built by The North Face and tested by top skiers and riders, this shell thrives in everything from coastal snowstorms to cold, dry powder days in the mountains. It’s the layer we trust when conditions are demanding and every lap counts. The DryVent 3-layer construction delivers reliable waterproof protection while remaining breathable enough for boot packs and skin tracks. Fully sealed seams lock out moisture, underarm vents help regulate temperature, and an adjustable hood lets us batten down when winds pick up. A fixed powder skirt keeps blower snow where it belongs, while thoughtfully placed pockets keep essentials close so we can focus on riding, not re-layering."
