The REI Co-op Powderbound Anorak is a men's snowsports jacket built for downhill skiing and snowboarding. Its HydroWall 2-layer nylon shell is critically seam-sealed for waterproof, windproof and breathable protection, and a durable water repellent finish made without PFAS helps moisture bead up on the surface.
MidLoft synthetic insulation adds warmth without bulk and insulates even when damp, with 60 g in the body and 40 g in the hood and sleeves. A soft polyester lining sits comfortably against skin, while the lined, fully adjustable hood maintains peripheral vision. The deep front opening with partial zipper and stormflap makes for easy on/off, a left side vent extends to the hem to dump heat, and zippered tricot-lined hand pockets, a kangaroo pocket, hem drawcord, hook-and-loop cuff tabs and a pass/ticket ring at the right hip round out the details.
