Designed for winter skiing and riding missions that demand maximum weather protection and breathability for those aerobic uphill climbs, the Cirque features a Empel Durable Water Repellent on the shell for best in class water repellency, while the Primaloft Gold Cross Core insulation in the wind-hood provides the right amount of warmth. The packable wind hood creates full protection for the ride down and a goatskin leather palm, with slip-stop palm patches, maximizes the grip needed for the way up.
