Staying comfortable riding backcountry powder on a January day in the Wasatch can be tricky, you’ll confront steamy ascents and shivering cold when you stop to rip your skins off. Keep your inner climate balanced through it all with our Rubicon Rider Jacket. It combines a breathable soft-shell fabric to vent your high-output moisture with stay-warm-when-wet insulation to keep you comfortable and mobile. Tough 2-layer panels, made of 75- to 170-denier 100% recycled polyester with a waterproof barrier, beef up the shoulders, elbows and bottom hem to increase storm performance and protect from abrasion. Made of supple, 4.2-oz 100% polyester ripstop, the shell has a Deluge® DWR (durable water repellent) finish to snub wind and moisture. Inside, a soft layer of compressible 150-g Thermogreen® polyester (90%-recycled) insulation adds heat to ice-box temperatures. Finer points include: underarm venting, an easy-gliding liner, a zip-off powder skirt with webbing loops that attach to any Patagonia® Snow pants, a removable, helmet-compatible hood with a single-hand adjustment, handwarmers, a secure, interior media pocket with cable routing, one chest, and two interior pockets. The women's-specific fit has a contoured silhouette.
