Our hard shell ski jackets combine minimalist design with maximum function. They’re fully waterproof, highly breathable, and seam-sealed for complete protection in snow, sleet, or rain. With features like ventilation zippers and underarm vents you can regulate temperature and stay protected throughout your day. Adjustable cuffs, a high collar, and a helmet-compatible hood ensure a snug, customizable fit.

Lightweight and packable, these jackets are ideal for layering with base layers, mid layers, or fleeces. Whether you’re pairing with ski pants or carrying avalanche gear, they’re built to integrate seamlessly with your full backcountry or resort kit.

Crafted with our advanced BARRIER CT™ technology, Cortazu hard shells are engineered to withstand the harshest alpine conditions. The 3-layer waterproof fabric delivers over 20,000mm waterproofness, while maintaining top-tier breathability and windproofness. The ripstop outer and PU membrane create a strong, flexible barrier that performs season after season.

Our commitment to sustainability is woven into every jacket. We use eco-friendly, recycled materials, apply a PFC-free DWR coating, and manufacture using Bluesign®-certified fabrics and Fair Trade Certified practices. Lightweight and responsibly made, these jackets deliver on performance—without compromise.
