Spyder: Men's Leader Jacket

Some guys love their skis, some guys love their cars, and the lucky few who purchase Spyder's Leader Jacket usually have a thing for their winter outerwear. That's because even if you're not an alpine ski guide, you still bask in all the pro-level functionality, durability and full weather protection. Spyder's Leader Jacket features fabric tough enough to take on the challenges of dodging frozen tree limbs on gladed runs, and the fun of leading the local ski school kids back down to the mountain to the day lodge for burgers and fries. Like other Spyder insulated jacket designs, the Leader is loaded with ski features, including a removable heavy weather hood that neatly tucks into the back storage pocket when not in use. The powder skirt zips outs and features a special Lycra® panel for added stretch. Beneath the sleeves you'll find waterproof zippers that open for convenient venting. Inside you'll find a mesh goggle pocket and a custom chamois lens wipe attached to a retractable shock cord. What sets the Leader Jacket apart from the other tech-loaded ski jackets from other manufacturers is that we find that every feature has an intuitive location. You spend less time guessing and fumbling through pockets and more time enjoying the mountain. And that's what you're there for, right?
