Patagonia PowSlayer Jkt
When the forecast calls for real weather and you're going anyway.
The PowSlayer Jacket is Patagonia's top-tier backcountry shell — GORE-TEX ePE Pro construction that's lighter and more breathable than standard GORE-TEX without giving up any waterproofing. Built for big Sierra days where the weather changes fast and you need a shell that can keep up.
Streamlined fit works over midlayers without binding on the uptrack. Helmet-compatible hood, pit zips, and internal gaiters that seal powder out at the wrist. This is a performance tool, not a fashion piece — if you're skiing lift-accessed terrain mostly, you don't need this jacket. If you're earning your turns in serious conditions, you do.
Best for: Backcountry touring, splitboarding, high-alpine objectives in stormy conditions.
Not for: Casual resort days — it's overkill and you'll pay for features you won't use.
Fit note: Runs large. Size down one for a performance fit. True to size if you layer heavy.
