In search of a comfy, cozy coat for the slopes as well as a stylin’ piece for après ski? The Powdersmoke from Powderhorn outerwear is a great option. This beautifully designed puffer jacket has a soft-feeling nylon shell called “Toray” that is ultra-lightweight and ultra-strong (to protect you from those errant branches when you’re skiing in the trees).
The “puff” comes from the jacket’s Quix Down filling, which is insulating and light. Best of all, this unique down repels water, so it doesn’t get wet and heavy as quickly as standard down in heavy rain or snow conditions. Translation: You’ll stay warm and dry in any kind of inclement weather.
Other fun features? A nice, puffy, hood; an elastic powder skirt; zippered pockets lined with hand-warming fleece; and hand gaiters with fleece cuffs and thumb holes. It’s style and function all in one.
Comes in five colors, including bright and beautiful cobalt, blossom and aqua (above).
