What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"Three hours into a skin track with the wind picking up, the Verglas BC Shell Jacket was the only thing standing between me and turning around. The pit zips let me dump heat on the climb, then I zipped up tight for a cold, fast descent."The Verglas BC Shell Jacket from Helly Hansen is built for the days that start before sunrise and end somewhere far from the lift line. HELLY TECH(R) Performance 3-layer construction holds up against wind, snow, and the kind of exposure you find well past the boundary rope, while an adjustable hood with a shapeable brim seals out the weather without blocking your view of the line ahead. Under arm ventilation zippers dump heat fast on the skin track, and articulated elbows keep the reach natural on every kick turn. A tail drop hem covers you on the descent, RECCO adds a layer of security out where help is farther away, and a full inner front placket locks out drafts when the wind turns sharp near the summit.
