REI Co-op Powderbound Insulated Jacket - Men's

The REI Co-op Powderbound Insulated Jacket for men is built for downhill skiing, snowboarding, and all snowsports. It combines a Peak 2-layer waterproof/breathable laminate with a critically seam-sealed nylon shell, so snow, rain, and wind stay out while sweat vapor escapes. The shell has a durable water repellent (DWR) finish made without PFAS.

Synthetic insulation—80 g in the body and 60 g in the sleeves—keeps your core warm while allowing easy movement. A helmet-friendly hood adjusts front and back, a high tricot-lined collar prevents chin chafe, and pit zips release heat fast. Articulated elbows, shaped cuffs with wide hook-and-loop adjustments, and a snap-away powder skirt support full days on the mountain. There is a lift pass pocket on the wearer's left wrist, an interior drop-in goggles pocket on the wearer's right, and hand pockets lined with brushed polyester tricot. Machine wash cold; do not use bleach or fabric softeners; tumble dry low.

Which insulation do you prefer?

Down: Ultralight, warm and packable; loses insulation when damp. Synthetic: Insulates when damp, dries quickly; heavier and less packable than down. Down/synthetic: Warm in targeted spots; warm when wet but heavier than pure down.

Consider these features

Waterproof: Most are water-resistant; choose waterproof for added protection. Ventilation: Pit zips or core vents help release heat during high-exertion activities. Hoods: Some detach or accommodate helmets. 3-in-1 jackets: Outer shell and insulated midlayer zip together; wear separately or as one. Pockets: Stash gear, secure valuables.
