Women's Carbide Jacket

DescriptionKey FeaturesSpecificationsCare

The Carbide Jacket is a technical, versatile resort and backcountry jacket, utilizing waterproof 3L Pertex® technology and intuitive design details to create a dynamic outerwear solution for all terrain and conditions — built to perform on both sides of the resort boundary and adapt to whatever conditions and terrain are on the menu, whether layering up for a cold and deep day inbounds or staying fast and light on backcountry tours, this feature-loaded all-mountain workhorse stays dry and comfortable during long days in the backcountry with waterproof and breathable Pertex® Shield 3L fabric, fully seam-taped construction, and pit zips that work harmoniously to regulate temperature, plus a powder skirt, forearm pass pocket, and dual external and single internal chest pockets, with a helmet-compatible Halo Hood for nasty weather protection.

Resort + Backcountry Hybrid

Single-jacket solution for both inbounds skiing/snowboarding and backcountry touring — handles deep resort powder days and fast-and-light touring missions without compromise. Versatile all-mountain workhorse for one-kit travel.

Pertex® Shield 3L Waterproof

Premium bluesign® approved Pertex® Shield 3L construction with 100% nylon 40D face and tricot knit backer — fully waterproof and windproof with next-to-skin comfort that doesn't feel clammy like 2.5L print membranes.

Extreme Breathability

Rated Extreme breathability — the highest tier. Critical for backcountry touring where you generate massive body heat on the climb and need serious moisture transfer to stay dry inside.

Movement-Mirroring Stretch

Built into the Pertex® Shield 3L construction despite the durable face fabric — moves with your body for high-steps, dyno moves, and reachy touring transitions without binding.

Snowsports Helmet-Compatible Halo Hood

Halo hood fits cleanly over ski and snowboard helmets — multiple adjustments, wire brim, and hood lock keep peripheral vision clear and seal out wind, snow, and spindrift in whiteout conditions.

Pit Zips for Boot Pack Ventilation

Underarm pit zips dump heat fast when skinning, boot-packing, or hiking — no need to remove the jacket when output spikes during the approach or warm spring corn harvest.

Powder Skirt for Resort Days

Built-in powder skirt keeps snow out during deep-day crashes, tree runs, and falls on inbounds missions — removable or sealable when conditions are firm.

Multiple Chest Pockets

Dual external chest pockets plus a single internal chest pocket — dedicated storage for phone, wallet, snacks, beacon, or small camera. Quick-access without digging through your pack.

Forearm Ski Pass Pocket

Forearm pass pocket gives quick lift-line access without removing gloves — saves time and hassle through every chairlift scan on a long resort day.

YKK Double-Separating Center Front Zipper

Premium YKK double-separating zipper lets you zip up from the bottom for sitting, riding lifts, or belaying — opens fully for ventilation on warm spring tours.

Materials

Shell

bluesign® approved Pertex® Shield 3L, 100% Nylon 40D Face with Tricot Knit Backer

Machine Wash Cold

Wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and a technical fabric cleaner (like Nikwax Tech Wash) — preserves the Pertex® Shield 3L membrane, DWR finish, and movement-mirroring stretch.

Tumble Dry Low or Hang Dry

Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry away from direct sunlight — low heat reactivates the DWR finish and protects the 3L membrane from heat damage.

Do Not Bleach, Iron, or Dry Clean

Avoid chlorine bleach (degrades membrane and DWR), hot irons (melts 3L membrane and synthetic fibers), and dry-cleaning solvents (strip DWR finish).

Re-Proof DWR Periodically

After 30-50 days of regular wear, the DWR finish fades. Restore with a PFC-free spray-on DWR (like Nikwax TX Direct) to maintain shell water beading and breathability.

Store Hanging or Loosely Folded

Store hanging on a wide hanger or loosely folded — avoid long-term compression in a stuff sack, which can damage the 3L membrane and reduce long-term waterproofing.
