Scott Jacket M's Explorair GTX 3L - Men's backcountry ski jacket

For ski tours and days on the piste: the Explorair GORE-TEX 3 Layer is a men's weatherproof jacket. Three-layer GORE-TEX keeps snow and rain out and lets sweat escape as vapour on the ascent.

Protection in a storm, ventilation on the ascent

With a waterproof rating of 28,000 mm, the fabric far exceeds the requirements of the highest standard class for rainwear. Its RET value of 9 indicates a fabric that lets plenty of moisture escape, which matters when you are climbing on skins. If you still get too warm, the underarm ventilation lets heat out.

As warm as the layer underneath

The Explorair provides little warmth on its own; it protects the layer you wear underneath. On cold days, pair it with an insulating layer. Underarm gussets give your arms freedom of movement when using poles and making kick turns.

Equipped for the mountain

The fixed hood fits over a helmet, and a RECCO reflector helps rescuers locate you under an avalanche. At around 550 g, it adds little weight when packed in your rucksack on the descent. The Explorair Light Dryo 2.5 Layer is lighter and packs down small into its own pocket.
