DWR, or Durable Water Repellent, is a treatment applied to fabrics that makes them water-resistant. This means that when it rains or snows, water will bead up and roll off the surface instead of soaking in. This feature helps keep you dry and comfortable during outdoor activities, making it ideal for skiing or snowboarding in wet conditions.

4-Way Stretch fabric allows the material to stretch in all directions—up and down, as well as side to side. This flexibility provides greater mobility and comfort, which is crucial for activities like skiing or snowboarding. It ensures that you can move freely without feeling restricted, enhancing your overall performance on the slopes.

The BD.dry Membrane is a proprietary technology from Black Diamond that offers a combination of waterproofing, breathability, and windproofing. This means it keeps water from entering while allowing sweat and heat to escape. Staying dry and comfortable is essential during physical activities in cold weather, making this feature a must-have for any serious skier or snowboarder.

A powder skirt is an elastic band or fabric feature found in many ski jackets that fits snugly around your waist. Its purpose is to prevent snow from entering the jacket, especially when skiing in deep powder. This feature can be removed if not needed, providing versatility for different snow conditions.

Underarm Zip Vents are zippers located under the arms of a jacket that can be opened to allow for ventilation. When you start to feel too warm while skiing or snowboarding, you can unzip these vents to release heat and moisture. This helps maintain a comfortable body temperature, allowing you to enjoy your time on the slopes without overheating.

Absolutely! While these features are designed with skiing and snowboarding in mind, they are also beneficial for a variety of outdoor activities such as hiking, climbing, or even casual wear in wet or cold conditions. The combination of water resistance, breathability, and mobility makes these jackets versatile for any adventure.
