Yuki Threads Slack Country Jacket 2027 | Sunset Purple

Yuki Threads Slack Country Jacket 2027 | Sunset Purple

One shell for resort laps, park sessions and the slack country in between.

Most shells force a choice. Heavy resort jackets cook you on the bootpack, and hyper-technical backcountry shells feel too clinical for a park lap. The Yuki Threads Slack Country Jacket lives in the grey area between the two, which is exactly where most of us ride. It is a true 3-layer shell with the tech you want for touring missions, but cut and styled for life around the resort. The Sunset Purple colourway is the standout: a bold, warm purple that pops against fresh snow and makes you easy to spot in the trees.

Yuki made this jacket because they could not find one like it without spending a small fortune on something built for summiting peaks. The result is a 20k/20k, fully taped, recycled shell with a relaxed fit, smart venting and pockets that actually work for how you ride. It is designed to pair with an insulating layer underneath and the matching Slack Country pant or bib for a complete setup. Pre-order now: the 2027 Slack Country Jacket ships mid November 2026.

Key Features

✅ 3-layer shell construction for proper weather protection without bulk. Layer underneath to suit the day.

✅ 20k waterproof / 20k breathability, PFAS-free membrane to keep wet snow and rain out while letting heat escape on the climb.

✅ Fully taped seams so water has nowhere to sneak in.

✅ Forever chemical free, 53% plant-based C0 DWR so moisture beads and rolls straight off the face fabric.

✅ 3-way adjustable hood with cord lock at the back to dial in coverage over a helmet.

✅ Goggle pocket with microfibre wipe, so fogged or snowy lenses get sorted on the chairlift.

Built for Australian Conditions

Riding in Australia means dealing with everything in a single day: a heavy, wet dump in the morning, sleet on the chairlift and spring sun by lunch. A 3-layer shell is the smart call here because you control the warmth with what you wear underneath. The 20k waterproof rating and fully taped seams handle the wet stuff that soaks lesser jackets, while 20k breathability and the underarm vents let you dump heat when the sun comes out or you are hiking for a lap. Heading to Japan for a powder trip? The removable powder skirt and 3-way adjustable hood are ready for deep days. Compare it with other shells in our backcountry jackets and full snowboard jackets range.
