Outdoor Research Blackbowl Jacket

A non-insulated, highly breathable sidecountry ski shell for cool, damp climates; designed for layering and protection from wet snow.

In the Northwest, we turn to the Backbowl™ when warmer, heavier conditions have us looking for a shell that will prevent clamminess while still keeping out the weather. Constructed of waterproof/breathable, comfortable Pertex® Shield fabric - which offers unrestricted movement when reaching up boot pack ladders or bending low into wide arcing turns - and featuring double-sliding CrossFlo™ chest-to-hip zippers for easy venting and inner pocket access, the Backbowl™ will help you keep your cool even on the mildest days on the mountain.
