Packable, compressible, and protective warmth.
Digging pits and studying avalanche conditions in the backcountry requires patience and precision—two things you don't really have if you're shivering in sweat-soaked layers, so pull the Planks Men's Cloud 9 Insulated Jacket out of your backpack before your shovel. This midweight insulator uses Planks' RideWarm insulation that's as lofty and compressible as down, except it stays warm when wet for better protection in moist environments. RideWarm is so compressible that the jacket can stuff inside its own pocket for compact storage in your pack. Planks treated the Cloud 9's durable ripstop shell in DWR to shed snowflakes or your backcountry buddy's spray from his shovel. In case conditions are colder than usual, the jacket's helmet-compatible hood lets you ski down in this warm midlayer without compromising safety.
