Ceptor Jacket - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This is the shell I grab when I’m chasing storms. It’s tough, it vents well on bootpacks, and the pocket layout is actually useful with gloves on. The fit moves with me instead of feeling bulky, which makes it just as good for long tours as it is for deep inbounds days."

We head into winter’s best days with full confidence when we’re wearing the Ceptor Jacket. The three-layer DryVent construction blocks out driving snow and wind, keeping us dry while still allowing heat to escape when we push hard through variable terrain. Its helmet-compatible hood, secure pockets, and streamlined powder skirt work together to keep our essentials close and the elements out as we move from wide-open bowls to tight glades.

Whether we’re hunting powder in the backcountry or spinning laps at the resort, the Ceptor keeps our focus on the terrain ahead—not the weather overhead. The fit stays agile without feeling oversized, giving us a clean, functional shell that stands up to seasons of storm chasing.
