How it fits into your System

performance

Loose by design.

We made this one loose and expressive, and it became what a lot of us here ski in — staff, their friends, the people we ski with at home. Loose cut, long in the body, stormproof, and with a signature look. Oversized vents that give you air on the bootpack, pockets placed to work with a pack, and the black hood panel and contrast zippers that define the kit.

Powder skied the kit for a season and wrote that it "goes toe-to-toe with all the heavy hitters", and that it's "for hard charging freeriders who are looking for a kit to do it all for years to come". Men's Journal named it Best New Ski Jacket System.

It's the one we reach for on a powder day.

A big, loose fit. Roomy through the shoulders and cut to move. If that's what you're looking for, take your normal size. If you want a regular fit, size down.
Fully waterproof. +20 000 mm, three layers, taped seams and YKK AquaGuard zippers throughout. PFAS-free. Powder: "I'd have few qualms about skiing in the rain in this jacket."
Built for deep days. A hood that fits over a helmet, a two-way front zipper, and an internal snow gaiter that connects to all our shell pants.
Made to last years. Japanese nylon, every zipper sewn and laminated rather than glued. Powder: "Durability and longevity are one of the hallmarks of anything coming out of Stellar EQ's factories."

How to use it

Full weather protection for the days you ski hardest. Over a mid layer for resort laps, over a base layer alone on the way up, over an insulation jacket when it turns properly cold. Open the vents instead of stopping to take a layer off.
