Spyder Zermatt Jacket:
Redesigned with new Thinsulate insulation for improved thermal performance and a slightly (just a few grams) lighter weight, Spyder's popular Zermatt Jacket offers some of the same features found in the top-of-the-line Spyder Aspen, but the Zermatt has a nylon dobby weave fabric and zip-off sleeves. This is one of the best jackets spring ski fanatics can buy--especially if you tend to ski when the mornings are cold and the afternoons finish warm and sunny. The Zermatt offers a removable heavy weather hood and extra tough nylon dobby weave backed with a waterproof and breathable Dermizax EV 20,000-mm. membrane. Some skiers shy away from detachable ski outerwear because the designs tend to seep along the zipper connections, but the Zermatt features waterproof zippers and seam taping that surpass almost anything available this season. The Zermatt's sleeves and heavy weather hood zip off and stow in the back pocket (keep in mind that Spyder recommends stowing the sleeves or the hood in the back pocket… but apparently not both at the same time). Beneath the weatherproofing are versatile extras like a zip-out powder skirt, internal mesh goggle pocket, pass pocket, data card pocket, custom chamois lens wipe cloth with retractable coil… You can check out the rest of the fine details below. If you're a believer in getting what you paid for, the Zermatt delivers on all counts with a quality construction and skiing-oriented features for big mountain destination resorts
