Highlights: lots of pockets

Your ski touring shell spends most of its life in your pack, but when you need it, it has to work flawlessly. The TourTech Shell was built to deliver the ideal balance of weight, packability, durability, and protection for high-output ski touring. Lightweight enough to disappear in your pack, yet tough enough to handle rock, ice, and tree branches. Designed to balance breathability, a freeride-inspired fit, and purpose-built details for backcountry use. This is the shell we always wanted: one that performs like a top-tier alpine jacket but fits and looks the way we actually ski. This item is on preorder. Expected ship date is 12/15.

Price: $599
