Casual Jacket Roundup — Fall 2019

November 11, 2019November 8, 2019 by Sam Shaheen
Blister's Casual Jacket Roundup — Fall, 2019

It’s that time of year when you really never know what the weather is going to throw at you. A foot of snow? Maybe. 70°F and sunny? Also totally possible. We’ve been using a bunch of casual jackets for women and men that can keep you comfortable in a variety of temps, and do so in style.

Strafe Sickbird Suit

September 23, 2019September 23, 2019 by Kristin Sinnott
Kristin Sinnott reviews the Strafe Sickbird Suit for Blister

One-piece snowsuits have had an interesting history. They were once very common, then they became a bit of a joke, and now some brands are making high-end one-pieces with modern materials and features. The Strafe Sickbird Suit falls into that last category, and we’ve come away both surprised and impressed by it. Check out our review.

Kristin Sinnott reviews the Fjallraven Keb Eco-Shell Jacket W for Blister

Fjällräven says their Keb Eco-Shell Jacket is ideal for year-round use, and after using it for everything from rainy tropical hikes to ski touring, we’d agree. Check out our full review.

Outdoor Research Refuge Air Hooded Jacket

June 10, 2019June 10, 2019 by Sam Shaheen
Sam Shaheen reviews the Outdoor Research Refuge Air Hooded Jacket for Blister

“Active insulation” midlayers are designed to be warmer than fleece, but more breathable than traditional puffies. And despite strong competition in this growing category, Outdoor Research’s new Refuge Air Hooded Jacket clearly stands out. Check out our review.

Arc’teryx Rush LT Jacket

June 14, 2019June 2, 2019 by Luke Koppa
Luke Koppa reviews the Arc'teryx Rush LT Jacket for Blister

Arc’teryx’s Rush LT Jacket brings lightweight protection to a snowsports-oriented design, but we think it’s worth a look for a wide range of people, not just those who like to slide down snow. Check out our full review.

Patagonia SnowDrifter Jacket

August 12, 2019May 29, 2019 by Sam Shaheen

If you split your time between the resort and the backcountry — or just want an incredibly comfortable ski / snowboard shell — the brand-new Patagonia SnowDrifter Jacket should be on your list. Check out our full review.

Patagonia R1 TechFace Pullover

June 14, 2019April 6, 2019 by Sam Shaheen
Sam Shaheen reviews the Patagonia R1 TechFace Pullover for Blister

Last year Patagonia released what quickly became one of our favorite layers for high-output activities in the mountains — the R1 TechFace Hoody. This year, they released a more minimal Pullover version, and for some people, it could be even better than the original. Check out our review.

Holden M-51 Fishtail 3 Layer Jacket

June 14, 2019April 3, 2019 by Luke Koppa
Luke Koppa reviews the Holden M-51 Fishtail 3 Layer Jacket for Blister

Look good, ski good. The Holden M-51 Fishtail Jacket definitely brings a lot of style to the table, and it doesn’t skimp out on technical features, either. Check out our review.

Amundsen Peak Anorak

June 14, 2019March 30, 2019 by Luke Koppa
Luke Koppa reviews the Amundsen Peak Anorak for Blister.

Anoraks and technical fabrics don’t often get packaged together. But Norwegian brand, Amundsen, combined the two in their Peak Anorak, and the resulting jacket certainly stands out compared to the rest of the ski jackets on the market.

Flylow Vixen Coat 2.1

March 23, 2019March 23, 2019 by Kristin Sinnott
Kristin Sinnott reviews the Flylow Vixen Coat 2.1 for Blister

Just a few years ago, almost all hardshell jackets were stiff, crinkly, and uncomfortable. But now many companies make waterproof hardshells that feel more like softshells. The Flylow Vixen Coat 2.1 falls into that category, and it’s an excellent all-round women’s ski shell.

Strafe Meadow Jacket

If you’re looking for a technical women’s ski shell that can be used in the backcountry and the resort, but that doesn’t look all that “techy,” the Strafe Meadow Jacket is worth a good look.

The North Face Ceptor Jacket

March 13, 2019March 13, 2019 by Sam Shaheen
Sam Shaheen reviews The North Face Ceptor Jacket for Blister

The North Face Ceptor Jacket brings a lot of what you’d expect from a technical 3L shell (great weather resistance, plenty of features, and decent breathability) but does so without an exuberant price tag. Check out our full review.

Mammut Alvier Armor Hardshell Jacket

March 11, 2019March 11, 2019 by Noah Bodman
Noah Bodman reviews the Mammut Alvier Armor Hardshell Jacket for Blister

Jackets with reinforced fabrics used to bulky and often uncomfortable. But a few companies have come up with new ways to seamlessly reinforce their garments, and the Mammut Alvier Armor Jacket takes this technology and packages it into a versatile ski shell. Check out our full review.

Warm Winter Coat Roundup

March 9, 2019March 9, 2019 by Luke Koppa

For those bitterly cold days, it’s nice to have just one ultra-warm coat that you can toss on no matter what the weather’s doing. So we’ve rounded up a bunch of women’s and men’s coats for frigid days in town and in the backcountry.

Showers Pass IMBA Jacket

February 14, 2019February 14, 2019 by Xan Marshland
Xan Marshland reviews the Showers Pass IMBA Jacket for Blister

Finding the right MTB shell is tricky. It has to protect you from wind and water, breathe during climbs, and shrug off impacts with branches, rocks, and occasionally, the ground. So how well does the Showers Pass IMBA Jacket balance these traits? Check out our full review.

Rab Sharp Edge Jacket and Pants

January 29, 2019January 29, 2019 by Sam Shaheen
Sam Shaheen reviews the Rab Sharp Edge Jacket & Pants for Blister

There aren’t many kits out there designed specifically for ski mountaineering, but Rab’s Sharp Edge Jacket and Pants are. So how do they perform in big terrain, and should you still be considering them even if you’re not walking around in crampons and hacking your way up steep ice? Check out our full review.
