The Mountain Hardwear Women's Steep Jacket is a sleekly designed ski jacket that will keep you warm and dry on the slopes. The jacket's Conduit laminate and welded seams guarantee waterproof protection and the Thermic Micro insulation keeps your core warm in single digit weather. When you are hiking to get to a better line you will be able to take advantage of the welded pitzips to keep you cool and then you can use the removable powder skirt to keep the snow out. Articulated sleeves will allow you to move freely and fit well over layers. The hood has an extra beefy laminated brim for storm days, but the hood also zips off during good weather.
