Stylized for snow play the Mountain Hard Wear Flip Side Jacket features a reversible design with plenty of synthetic PrimaLoft® insulation where you need it and thinner stretch panels along the sleeves and sides for added mobility. While the Flip Jacket is reinforced to a degree the Checker Dobby Sport face fabric is probably better suited for skiing and sledding on soft snow than hard snowboarding--unless you never fall while riding your snowboard. Drawcords around the neck and hem help seal in the warmth while keeping the cold and spindrift out. If you prefer to play in soft deep powder the Flip Jacket is styled for your winter way of life.
