If you want one jacket that you use in bounds and out, the men's [ak] Hover GORE-TEX® C-Knit 3L Stretch Jacket is one of the lightest, most packable shells in the [ak] line. The GORE C-Knit gives it a light, supple feel for a natural range of motion, and its clean design packs all the venting, pockets, and adjustability you need for touring and resort riding without weighing you down. The lightweight design stows easily in your pack when you're on the skin track, and it delivers trusted stormproof protection and breathability for smooth days at the resort or in the backcountry.
