For experience-hungry skiers whose bread and butter is lift-accessed terrain – but who venture out for some untracked snacking. Not as fully pared-back as an alpine-style jacket, the Backbeyond has a more modern flowy shape and a nod to resort skier style. It still has all the technical features you expect from a backcountry shell, but the casual cut might take up a little more room if you stuff it in a pack. Colours, cut and attachment system are designed to coordinate with MEC Backbeyond Pants.
- Fabric is 3-layer GORE-TEX® that's supple, lightweight and provides waterproof-breathable protection. Nylon inner lining
- Fully taped seams seal out the elements
- Adjustable hood is helmet compatible
- Fleecy chin guard on interior of collar
- Underarm zips let you vent when things get smoking
- Sleeves have gusseted hook and loop cuffs that seal over your gloves
- Watertight YKK® Aquaguard zipper on centre front, with Uretek coated zipper on pockets and under arms
- Zip out powder skirt has an gripper elastic to keep it in place and keep out snow
- Built-in Recco® Rescue System reflector allows ski patrol and mountain rescue teams to detect and locate Recco reflectors under snow. Useful for resort skiing, Recco technology is not a substitute for avalanche skills training, beacons, essential gear, or smart decision-making in the backcountry
- Cut to slide over inner warm layers, the fit is not super technical, but provides room to twist and move freely
- Looped snaps attach the jacket to compatible snow pants
