The secret to its on-hill performance: pit zips, a (somewhat) adjustable hood, and a Gore Windstopper lining that took the chill out of long, breezy lift rides and easily repelled a freak Mount Hood squall. Detach the hood, however, and (if you don’t choose this “color”) you’ve got a low-key, weatherproof jacket for cruising around town all winter. 1.6 lbs;
