Why We Built The Backcountry Cardiac GORE-TEX 3L Jacket
"This jacket has the best stretchy, streamlined fit. Plus, there are so many pockets for snacks and gear when touring and so many venting options that keep me feeling my best." —Gearhead® Expert Alex
Made with an eco-friendly, PFAS-free* waterproof membrane, partially recycled materials, and go-anywhere features, our Backcountry Cardiac GORE-TEX 3L Jacket is a full hardshell quiver in one eco-friendly package. The 3-layer, seam-sealed construction is weatherproof yet breathable, while the body-mapped stretch panels increase airflow and elasticity right where we need it. Whether it's a bluebird day at the resort or we're climbing steep skin tracks, the underarm zips, vented storm flap extension, and two-way front zip let us choose how we turn up the air. And wherever we harvest powder, the low-profile snow skirt, tall tricot-lined collar, cinchable hood, and adjustable cuffs armor us against powder spray.

Could Be Amazing
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
This jacket is way too expensive for its flaws. I wish I would have listened to the first review that the face part covers your face too much. Even when the jacket is unzipped it stays in your face and can block your view. Since I’ve taken the tags off and worn it I can’t return it, for $500 this should be an issue. The jacket is great, perfect for warmer days the rigidity of the top part of the jacket is a huge issue.

Really warm, lightweight, and stretchy

I’m really happy with this entire set. I’m 5‘1“ so it’s a little long on me, but I sized up so I could fit extra layers underneath and I don’t mind having it be a little bit longer for snowboarding. The sleeves are a little long too, so I would say my only criticism would be the same as for the pants meaning if they had a petite option it would be really nice. I’m short, but I’m a size 16 in pants so I have wide hips and a petite option would be amazing.

This shell is so close to knocking it out of the park. Great quality, great features at a great price, great style. However, for one reason and one reason only, I will be returning: the neck on this jacket is ridiculously huge. It literally goes up to my cheekbones, and does not flop down or fold over easily, so I knew it would always be in my face. I don’t understand why it was made this way? I guess for serious cold/backcountry skiing, hence the name (lol)? But this is not appropriate for me and my resort skiing. I was looking for an easy, comfortable shell to wear over fleece & puffy layers, and I knew this enormous neck in my face would drive me nuts after an hour. On to try others.

Good jacket
Just adding a note for other women like me always on the search for outdoor gear that’s forgiving on wide hips: the bottom of the jacket does not flare out as much as it looks like it might. I have a significant waist/hip difference and am always looking for ski jackets that aren’t straight cut. The powder skirt does hit exactly at the widest point of my hips, “snagging” there against what feels like the natural movement of the jacket. I was hoping for a slouchier, more relaxed look, but that’s not the case. However, the quality appears solid and I’m keeping it. I’ll just unzip the bottom a bit for resort days.

This is my first year with this jacket and bib set but I love them so far. I got stuck in a lift line at Alta for 2 hours due to avalanche control during a wet storm and I was the only one still warm and not wet in my group after standing and waiting. Even my husband’s arcteryx shell didn’t hold up. I’m always warm but never too warm, I don’t find myself sweating under this jacket! The hood also has great protection.
