Why We Built The Backcountry Cardiac GORE-TEX PRO Jacket
"When I'm on the skin track, I get warm, so the allover vents are a huge bonus. There are two front zippers: one with perforations to let air in without unzipping the whole shell." —Gearhead® Expert Sammy
Back for another year with some slight tweaks to further improve performance, the Backcountry Cardiac GORE-TEX PRO Jacket provides plenty of coverage for backcountry missions. Named after a popular backcountry zone, this jacket combines a GORE-TEX PRO laminate with a durable nylon face fabric to help us confidently move across the skin track and bushwhack to remote zones while remaining covered from unpredictable weather. Toss in the underarm vents that dump excess heat, large chest pockets to help melt snow off of our skins while we ski, and a helmet-compatible hood to block out cold winds, and we have a jacket we can trust on any adventure.

Absolutely love the jacket
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- Small
Beautifully constructed. Pockets are well thought out, and the color is bright and beautiful. The only request I have are for the vents to be mesh lined so snow won't rush in, should I take a fall.

I ordered a size small and it is really big. Unfortunately have to return along with the matching bibs.

Best jacket ever!!!
I purchased this jacket and the matching bibs in the purple color. I’m obsessed with the color, but the real bang for your buck is in all of the FEATURES! No other jacket I’ve seen on the market has the same number of features as this one does… and believe me, I’ve looked HARD.

Nice jacket with minor complains

I have used this jacket about 5 times now. I have been in wet snow in backcountry in OR and it held up well. I like the fact that the front has an option to zip it up with ventilation. Two minor complaints are that pit vents don't have mesh which I prefer, and that the powder skirt doesn't connect - you cannot button it. Otherwise a solid jacket.

The double zipper is such an amazing feature. It's so helpful when you're over heating on the uphill or just ripping groomers on a warm day. The pockets are great, the colors are stunning, and the pass pocket is a nice addition.

In love with this set! The colors are SO good in person! The jacket fit a little big, so I would pick the smaller size if you’re between sizes. The matching bibs ran even bigger so for sure size down.

Perfect Fit and Function

Wow. So stoked on this kit already!! The material, the fit, the function, and even the colors are spot on. I was a little nervous about how bright that orange might be but it’s sooooo fire. The combo with the pink is perfection (and this is coming from a girl who usually wears all black). Fashion aside let’s talk the important part - function. I’m definitely confident wearing this in any condition, especially with good layering options. I kid you not - I stood under a waterfall in this and was still dry inside. So 100% that goretex is solid. Also love the fit options. I’m 5’7” 145lbs, usually wear a 4/6 (27/28) pant, or medium shirt (I have a broader chest 36/38) depending on the brand, and the mediums are a really cute fit while the large is a perfect freeride/baggy fit. I appreciate that they added length, not just width, to the larger size too, so the proportions are always spot on. Long story short - obsessed.
