Kjus: Men's Formula Jacket

Alpine functionality is far more fashionable with cutting-edge companies like Norway's Kjus introducing stylish and practical stuff like this Men's Formula Jacket. Besides looking cleanly tapered in the Slim Fit construction, the Formula Jacket has a stretchy exterior shell that's backed by a fully waterproof and highly breathable Dermizax® EV laminate that helps keep the warm and lightweight Thinsulate Stretch insulation completely dry throughout your ski day. Kjus preformed the elbow construction in the Formula Jacket so you enjoy a complete range of motion while taking on a mogul field or reaching out for one of those Poma lift contraptions on a high glacier. What you don't see right away are the smart refinements, things like the Recco Avalanche Rescue System reflectors that can help rescuers find you faster than conventional jacket designs. Kjus also added fixation loops to connect this jacket to snow pants made by the company, so you have a seamless design that doesn't look anything like those dated snow suits and bib-to-jacket combos. Keep in mind that despite the nicely proportioned insulation, this Jacket has a Slim Fit, so while it fits nicely over your lightweight fleece sweater, it might not fit well over several layers of thick clothing. Still, if this sort of style makes you smile, take a moment to check out the Kjus Men's Formula Pant. You might find a perfect (and flattering) fit to your ski season with this highly functional waterproof combo.
