GORE-TEX Pro – GORE-TEX Pro is GORE's toughest material designed for dedicated enthusiasts and outdoor professionals alike. It's engineered for rugged use in the harshest weather with maximum waterproofing, breathability, durability, and temperature regulation on the skin track or boot pack.
New Micro Grid Backer – Now developed with solution dyeing. The specially woven lining protects the membrane from abrasion on the inside, and slides easily over layers meaning you can move freely. The low denier backer is still highly breathable and robust, without adding excessive weight.
Regular Fit – Regular-fitting garments are not too tight or too baggy, and can be worn over warmer mid-layer pieces with ease.

Enhanced biomechanics move rotationally without creating frontside or backside blind spots.
Ergonomic Stretch Waist Gaiter – Engineered for the movements of snowboarding, this ergonomic waist gaiter seals out snow and cold like never before, and is removable for customizing performance. The longer back creates an ergonomic fit, articulating with your body for an interface that stays locked in all day long.
