Sweater knit cable arms, vest styled back and chest, this hybrid layering piece is cool weather comfortable and cold weather layering with insulation where you need it and nice easy to move sleeves for gliding in to your outer layer. Whether as an underlayer or outerwear this piece has DWR (durable water repellency) strategically in the quilting to protect your core, quilted insulation to you toasty warm and a contrast sleeve texture to add a nice street smart urban appeal when you're not tucking this under your shell as a protective layer up on the mountain. Complete with an insulated hood this is a technical piece that's got style going for it, with a drop tail and tailored cut in a regular fit for adding a layer under this fall, and sliding gracefully into a shell this winter. One of those thoughtfully designed piece Kari Traa is known for that acknowledges that while you want and need a comfortable, breathable, well-designed midlayer for skiing... you don't spend your whole life skiing. You might want to, but.. you don't. So this piece goes right off the mountain into your daily wardrobe and slides right into place so you can enjoy it any time you're out and about in the cold.
