The Defiant™ Shell
Waterproof, windproof ski jacket with breathable stretch for big mountain protection. Features dual-zipper venting, removable powder skirt, and roomy fit for layering.
The Bib and Shell are spectacular in fit! Jacket is highly functional with our without a pack, and with or without a helmet! The articulated arms and pocket are perfect! The chest pockets zippers are fluid and easy in the cold! The hood with its adjustments and brim offer clear visibility with or without a helmet! The Pit Zips are long enough to truly vent and dry my arms while hiking, yet allow ease of use when closing them up! Chest pockets are perfectly positioned and the lower pockets are place away from pack straps. Double front zipper works amazing for serious ventilation ASAP! 💕💕💕Love love the Jacket! The Bib fits amazing on the knees and has ample flex for all day knee pad use (I never ski without them) the thigh pocket w the lite padding offers protection from scrapes and insulation to keep phone functional. The double cuffs are tough and generous fit for keeping boots dry without struggle! The tab on inner cuff is key for keeping cuffs down while post holeing in deep snow. The fit is perfect and yet non restrictive! I enjoy putting this suit on and skiing all day! Warm and practical in single digits and quickly ventilatable for when the temps climb! Super stoked on the whole kit!!

Best jacket I’ve owned
This jacket is everything I wanted and more. It feels bombproof in terms of durability, super comfortable to move in, and has a really smart design with pockets and features exactly where you need them. It works great on and off the mountain and the build quality clearly sets it apart.

Best Jacket I’ve owned!
This is by far the best fitting jacket I have owned. The material is incredibly durable and waterproof, yet lightweight while still keeping you warm. The pockets are the perfect size and placement and the front vent is an incredible idea; hiking and skiing in this jacket during spring is a dream!

Super awesome jacket
This jacket has it all. It is super durable and could with stand any condition. It is also super breathable at the same time with so many vents so you don’t get too hot. The jacket also has so many great pockets and on the bibs too. The jacket also looks really well and fits great.
