3L Soft Shell GORE-TEX Ô Fabric with a brushed backer for light insulation this jacket is designed for dawn to dusk descents and those open lift carries where you need the waterproof, windproof, protection and the breathability to keep your core in balanced thermoregulation as you go from action to rest.

Why we like it:

The clean design and articulated patterning make this a sharp looking jacket, the features carry us through hours of carved runs, and if we want to wander there’s a RECCO® reflector built in for safety.

Features and Functions:

N80p-X GORE-TEX Fabric with 3L lo-loft soft shell construction nicely balance this between a thin shell and the bulk of an insulated jacket, giving you the opportunity to precisely layer for comfort without overheating. A removable helmet-compatible DropHood™ gives you full coverage with a hood design that’s adjustable and designed not to obscure you vision, and the hood has an integrated collar for better coverage. All the necessary features from pit zips and a powder skirt to a plethora of pockets (2 internal dump pockets plus a zip, and 4 external pockets) plus the sleeve pass pocket with a RECCO® reflector; this is a cleanly styled jacket with a full day of riding built into its design.

Fit and Sizing:

A regular fit with articulated patterning provides room for layering and comfortable movement.

Bottom Line:

Clean style, GORE-TEX Fabric with a lo-loft backer, and all the ski centric features the Arc'teryx Macai Men's Shell Jacket is a performance piece for men who like to dial in their day with the right layers so they can hit the lift on the first run, and skitter in just as they’re about to close down the last chair.
