Black Alder 2L Gore-Tex Hooded Jacket - Men's

Though it's primary role is as a waterproof, windproof, and breathable shell for chasing stashes on the other side of the backcountry gate, Quicksilver's Black Alder 2L Gore-Tex Hooded Jacket hides out in an urban snowscape just as well. The jacket's classy dobby weave texture belies its performance nature, hiding the go-for-snow Gore-Tex membrane behind a facade that isn't out of place on a daily commute. In fact, the underarm vents dump heat just as well atop steep summits as they do on crowded subway cars. Though frankly, if it's snowing hard enough to warrant the jacket's fully taped seams, removable powder skirt, and jacket-to-pant attachment design, then you should probably be calling in sick, anyway.
