Eider Niseko Jacket
If you’re going to test the Niseko jacket from Eider, you might as well test it in the place it was named after. And throughout a huge storm cycle in Japan, the Niseko Jacket proved to be an incredibly well-thought out and well-constructed jacket, ideal for cold temps and seriously deep days.

The Coreupt Steep Ride jacket is a fully waterproof & breathable shell that offers a ton of performance for the price.
