Fit Tip & Style Notes
-
Designed with a women’s articulated fit — tailored to move while maintaining silhouette.
-
True to size for most riders — layer with a midweight or down vest comfortably.
-
Consider sizing up if you use thick insulating layers or prefer extra room for freeride flex.
-
Sleeves and hem are cut for coverage in motion — expect wrist and back protection when crouched or reaching.
-
Low-drag design works well under pack straps or harnesses without interference.
