Drift Shell Jacket

Yes. It's oversized — much bigger than our Free Shell, which is already loose. That's the design. Take your normal size for the full look. If you want it closer to the body, go one size down. Most women will want to size down.

Yes, it's a 2-layer shell with taped seams that will keep you dry through a day of snow, wet lifts and slams. It's waterproof to +10 000 mm and that's more than enough for most days. Our 3-layer shells are built to +20 000 mm for storms and rain — if that's your skiing, look at the Free Shell.

A lot of oversized kits are built look-first: a big shape on a cheap fabric, with the technical parts left out to hit a price. This one is built for skiing first — waterproof laminate, taped seams, mesh lining, side vents, snow skirt, a hood that goes over a helmet, hardware that lasts — and then cut big. The shape is clean, with a tailored look to it even at this size.

Our riders and our design team. Dylan Siggers, Emil Granbom and Gordon Crawford-Currie drove it, with a lot of others chipping in. They wrote the list and drew the cut; our designers built it to that list, the way we build everything. Then the riders tested it, sent it back, and tested it again.

A base layer on park days, a fleece when it's cold, and a light insulation jacket on the really cold ones. There's room for all of it.

→ This one if you want the big, baggy look and ski park, street and resort.
→ The Free Shell 2.5 if you want a loose cut with full storm protection for backcountry storm skiing.

No. The outer fabric is wetting out — the water-repellent treatment has worn down, so water sits on the surface instead of beading off. The waterproof layer underneath is still doing its job. Wash it, tumble dry on low to reactivate the treatment, and re-proof it with a wash-in proofer once or twice a season.

There isn't one. We don't run seasonal sales or clearances; the price you see is the price. What we do is keep products in the line for years, so you can buy when you need it.
