Mountain Hardwear

First Tracks Insulated Jacket - Men's

Dry.Q is a proprietary technology developed by Mountain Hardwear that provides a waterproof and breathable fabric. This means it keeps moisture from rain or snow out while allowing sweat to escape. If you're skiing or snowboarding, this technology ensures you stay dry and comfortable, enhancing your overall experience in wet conditions.

Body-mapped insulation is a design approach where insulation is strategically placed in areas of the jacket based on where you need warmth the most. For instance, areas exposed to cold winds have more insulation, while areas that generate heat, like under the arms, have less. This targeted insulation helps optimize your comfort and warmth during physical activities, making your outdoor adventures more enjoyable.

RECCO is a safety technology embedded in outdoor gear that helps rescuers locate individuals buried in avalanches. It consists of a reflector in your clothing and a detector used by search and rescue teams. If you find yourself in an avalanche situation, the RECCO system can significantly increase the chances of a quick rescue, providing peace of mind while you enjoy winter sports.

A powder skirt is a flexible band of fabric found in many ski jackets that helps keep snow out. It wraps around your waist and can be tightened to create a barrier against snow, especially in deep powder. This feature prevents snow from entering your jacket when you fall or when snow is kicked up, allowing you to stay warm and dry while skiing.

A helmet-compatible hood is designed to fit comfortably over a ski or snowboard helmet. This feature allows you to stay warm and protected from the elements without sacrificing safety. It ensures that you can wear your helmet comfortably while enjoying winter sports, providing both warmth and security during your activities.

The combination of Dry.Q technology, body-mapped insulation, RECCO safety features, powder skirts, and helmet-compatible hoods creates a comprehensive outdoor gear solution. These features work together to keep you dry, warm, and safe, allowing you to focus on enjoying your outdoor adventures without worrying about the elements or your safety.
