Outdoor Research Axcess Jacket - Women's

You are not here to cruise the groomers and sip hot chocolate in the lodge. You take your lunch-break on the lift, and you never go home before the lifts stop running. Outdoor Research designed the Axcess Jacket for extreme conditions and extreme skiers. Gore-Tex tech and weather-beating features keep you warm whether you are slamming the resort or heading into the backcountry.

• Gore-Tex 2L membrane seals out moisture while remaining breathable so you stay dry even in heavy precipitation
• Nylon face fabric is durable and tough enough to handle scrapes with branches
• Fully taped seams stop melting snow from working in between the stitching
• Strategically placed PrimaLoft Eco insulation (60g in the front and the arms and 40g in the back and the underarms) holds in heat to keep you warm
• Tricot lining is soft, comfy, and easy to slide into
• Relaxed fit is roomy and gives you room for additional layering
• CrossFlo chest-to-hip vents quickly ditch overheated air to help you better regulate your body's temperature
• Removable, helmet-compatible hood protects your head from even the nastiest storms
• Zip-out balaclava gives you an extra layer of protection and keeps snow and wind off of your face
• Removable powder skirt with LockDown tech blocks snow from heading up your back when you're skiing in the deep stuff
• ThumbDrive hook-and-loop cuff closures securely wrap around your thumbs to prevent snow from getting up your sleeves
• Two handwarmer pockets, a chest pocket, and an internal pass pocket haul a few ski-day essentials

Bottom Line:

The lodge is irrelevant if the lifts are still going.
