When the weather’s full send and the line is still worth it, this is the shell you’ll trust to see it through. The updated Synergy HD builds on the alpine-ready durability of the original and merges it with the backcountry-focused features of our legacy Couloir Jacket. The result is MEC’s burliest ski shell to date, dialed for serious terrain, multi-day hut missions, and mid-season laps when the storm just won’t quit. With a classic freeride fit and waterproof breathability you can count on, it transitions seamlessly from bootpack to lift line without compromise.
