We built our Backcountry CrestCarver Gore-tex Shell Jacket with premium waterproofing and full-send features at a more palatable price point to make sure our whole shred crew is covered by the best. Gore-tex's -friendly Pfas-free membrane brings reliable and breathable waterproofing that keeps us comfortably dry without the use of forever chemicals, while the ergonomic hood, stretch wrist gaiters, adjustable cuffs, low-profile powder skirt, and cinchable hem all work together to ensure the snow doesn't find another way inside. And for when we're charging hard, we equipped this shell with angled underarm vents for easy access to an airflow boost.
