Why We Built The Backcountry Cottonwoods GORE-TEX Shell Jacket
"Yesssss. Need I say more? The Cottonwoods is hands-down my favorite shell. It's indestructible. And I love that it now has a super soft lining." —Gearhead® Expert Sammy
We lined our bestselling hardshell to bring you the comfier yet still super rugged Backcountry Cottonwoods GORE-TEX Shell Jacket. Crafted with recycled materials and GORE-TEX's PFAS-free* 2-layer membrane, this shell proves that a burly construction and breathable waterproofing don't have to come at an environmental cost. We like to get rowdy on hill, so we made sure the Cottonwoods Shell can take a beating season after season, and its new soft lining helps manage our sweat. From moguls to park runs, the regular articulated fit lets us move freely, the underarm zips offer to turn up the air, and the wrist gaiters and powder skirt stop slashes and wipe-outs from letting the snow inside.

Great quality and attractive
- Familiarity:

I wore this full set (pants and coat)with a white helmet and red goggles, and the guy manning the ski lift said I was the best dressed for the day—ha! This is a really good quality jacket, the pockets are placed in convenient places, and it is flattering. It does run slightly large but there are plenty of ways to adjust the arms if they're too long for you.

Instant Favorite

I just bought this set (jacket + bibs) and as soon as I put it on, it was immediately my new favorite ski fit. So much more flattering than the pictures, and with so many practical features — taped zippers, vents, powder guards, etc. I hesitated on the price but now that I have it, I will absolutely be keeping it!

Not the best
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
I have tried many jackets. I really hoped this one would be good but the design and quality is only sub par. Yes it’s goretex and waterproof, but there are design flaws. The jacket collar is HUGE! I can’t even see over it if I’m just slightly looking down. I have to fold it under my chin and hope it stays, which it often doesn’t. And if I leave it unzipped it’s somehow more in the way! I’ve gotten stuck in it before, literally. The zipper just failed. And now I’ve noticed it’s easy to zip it off track. Took me 30 mins to get it unzipped after sliding it over my head to get it off. The logo along the side is already coming off, not functional or necessary but it just looks bad. I’ve used this jacket maybe 15 times for split boarding. It’s was so expensive I want to get my use out of it but it’s quite an annoying jacket!

The fit is spot-on
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
- Size Bought:
- M
- Height:
- 5' 7"
- Weight:
- 135
This is, by far, the best ski jacket I’ve owned! The fit is spot-on. I usually wear just a base layer underneath and stay warm, but there's enough room to comfortable add an additional fleece mid-layer on freezing temp. days. I particularly appreciate the collar - it's tall, but it's roomy, so it's super comfortable to zip all the way up and it keeps your head/face very warm. There are also plenty of options for pockets. I'm able to fit both my mittens in a front hand pocket or inner pocket. The built-in goggle wipe in the chest pocket is also a game-changer and my favorite party trick on the lift. If you’re looking for a well-designed, high-performance ski jacket, this is the one.

Really well done jacket!!

- Size Bought:
- XS
I love this jacket so much. Truly windproof, functional, and everything exactly as advertised - and flattering! The way the collar and hood are connected but separate entities is brilliantly designed. My only note is that the chest pocket doesn't keep your phone warm/protected from the elements. Really thoughtful design. I get lots of compliments on the mountain, too.

Seriously love this set

- XS
Finally took this set out a month+ after purchase. Broke-in really quick and easy. Thoughtful design and functionality. Stayed 100% dry and comfy without getting too hot or cold even on a backcountry day. The cut/style is flattering without being pretentious - especially the bibs! Nothing bad that I can say about them. I was hestitate on the price along but am so glad I got these. I am 5'3, 115lbs for size reference.

Excellent!
- Size Bought:
- Small
The fit is perfect, long sleeves, amazing pockets, gorgeous color. Great fit but still room to fit layers underneath without being constricting. Very warm, water proof, and the hood is big enough to easily fit over a helmet. Would recommend sizing down! I am usually a women’s M in jackets but the S fits perfect and M was too big. Overall, I am so thrilled with my purchase!

Perfect winter gear
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- Medium
Very warm and the hood, though too big with just a hat on, really blocks out the wind. There are so many useful big pockets!

Will this hood fit over a helmet? Giro g10 helmet?
