When the mountain calls for serious performance, The North Face Chakal Jacket delivers the technical prowess that advanced skiers and snowboarders demand. Built around a waterproof, breathable DRYVENT™ 2L shell with seam-sealed construction, this men's ski jacket keeps you completely dry whether you're charging through fresh powder at the resort or exploring backcountry terrain. The HEATSEEKER™ Advanced synthetic insulation provides optimal warmth without the bulk, while strategic features like underarm venting prevent overheating during intense runs. What sets the Chakal apart is its snow-specific design: a removable helmet-compatible hood adapts to your gear setup, while the integrated powder skirt with jacket-to-pant clips creates an impenetrable seal against deep snow infiltration. Add in wrist gaiters with thumbholes and a dedicated goggle wipe pocket, and you've got a snowboard jacket that anticipates every need on the mountain, letting you focus on the pure joy of riding powder instead of fighting the elements.
