Columbia Gate Racer II Jacket - Black - Size L

When you're carving down a windswept ridge or riding a slow chairlift through falling snow, the Columbia Gate Racer II Jacket keeps you dry, warm, and moving freely. This men's insulated waterproof shell is built for skiers and snowboarders who refuse to let harsh weather cut a day short. The black size L jacket combines Omni-Tech™ waterproof/breathable protection with critically sealed seams to block snow and rain, while Omni-Heat™ thermal reflective lining and 100g Microtemp XF II insulation trap body heat without adding bulk. An adjustable storm hood, zippered hand and security pockets, and adjustable cuffs and hem seal out the cold. The active fit allows full mobility for dynamic winter sports, and the durable 100% nylon shell stands up to abrasion from packs and falls. Machine washable for easy care.
