When we're headed out to find the fluffiest powder we can and need stellar protection from blowing snow, we grab the Orage Chic-Chocs 3L Jacket from our closet. Whether we're touring to remote high-alpine peaks, dashing through the side country, or sending it down our favorite run at the resort, this jacket more than accomplishes the task. The 3-layer Dermizax membrane weathers harsh storms and fierce winds to keep us feeling warm and cozy. The full side zip allows us to dump excess heat on bootpacks and skintracks, and the incredible breathability of the fabric allows moisture to be whisked away. The large main pocket is perfect for holding all of our essentials, like a spare goggle lens or some energy gels, so we can be prepared for a full day above the treeline.
