The Mission Snow Shell lives up to its name. Constructed from a 3-layer GORE-TEX canvas shell and seam sealed (with custom-AETHER topography-printed seam tape), the Mission is waterproof, wind resistant, and chock-full of thoughtful details to ensure your experience on the mountain is all about the conditions and the terrain—not about your gear. Please note: For backcountry use, we recommend sizing up for extra room for wearing a beacon and supporting ample layering.

Worry about your next line, not about your jacket.
The Mission Snow Shell is waterproof, wind resistant, and chock-full of thoughtful details to ensure you have the best possible experience on the hill.
Ready for any cold-weather mission.
We thought of everything so you don’t have to think about anything.
The collar of the Mission is insulated with 40 gram Primaloft® Bio® insulation—made from 100% post-consumer recycled fibers—and extends past the center-front zipper to protect your face from the elements. There is a two-way weatherproof center-front zipper so you can be comfortable while on the lift, and a webbing puller on the zipper makes it easy to access with your gloves on. There are also exposed weatherproof zippers at the left-front drop pocket, vertical back pocket, and the pit vents (which help with breathability on warm days or when hiking for your turns). The sleeves feature adjustable Velcro® closures and internal wind cuffs.
Every detail considered.
The chest pockets and hand pockets feature concealed weatherproof zippers with webbing pullers. The pass pocket on the sleeve allows for easy access to the lift or gondola. Other design details include a mesh google pocket on the wearer’s right side and a D-ring for your gloves on the interior hem. Additionally, an interior chest pocket gives you a place to stash a credit card or cash.
