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. Ideal For: Chasing deep powder and alpine lines off the map. Storm days that demand next-level waterproofing. Multi-day backcountry missions where dependability matters. Key Features: Stormproof shell: 3-layer GORE-TEX ePE Pro delivers breathable, waterproof protection. Eco-conscious build: 100% recycled nylon fabric + PFAS-free DWR finish. Adaptive design: Pit zips, adjustable cuffs, and helmet-compatible hood. Gear-ready storage: Multiple pockets for skins, media, and essentials. Secure fit: Adjustable powder skirt seals out snow on deep days. Safety-first: Built-in RECCO® reflector for mountain rescue tracking. Ethical production: Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory.
