Cold temperatures at Big Sky, Stowe and Jackson Hole offer up the promise of white smoke, but if you’re not prepared, they’ll run away with your internal fire instead. Our Rubicon Down Jacket, insulated with deluxe 700-fill-power premium European goose down (the helmet-compatible hood is insulated, too), delivers serious warmth to preserve your core temperature for riding in all conditions. The 100% polyester ripstop shell has a light, water-resistant coating and our Deluge® DWR (durable water repellent) finish to stop moisture and wind, and to increase durability. A soft polyester lining glides smoothly over layers to preserve mobility. Fleece at the collar and chin flap protects your neck from overhead blowback, and the removable powder skirt (with webbing loops that connect to any Patagonia® snow pants) seals out snow at the waist. Pit zips keep you ventilated. Pocket rundown: two handwarmers, two chest (one holds a media device) and three interior pockets (one zippered).
