Outdoor Research Carbide Jacket

Winner of SKI Magazine’s Gear of the Year Award, this ride and ski jacket was built to adapt anywhere. Balancing protection and a light weight, this Pertex® waterproof shell is ideal for backcountry versatility, easily layering for cold backcountry tours and warm spring skiing.

The Carbide Kit was built for the skier and snowboarder who doesn’t stay in one place during the winter months. This jacket and bib pair lets you adapt to whatever conditions you have in store, whether that means layering up for a cold day bombing downhill inbounds, or staying light and fast on backcountry tours. The Carbide Jacket uses the very best 3-layer waterproof protection from Pertex®, and is packed with ski and ride specific features geared for comfort and versatility.

The Carbide Jacket exemplify our partnership with Arcade® by incorporating their durable stretch webbing into the suspender straps. These straps feature artwork that’s been leased from the Warli Tribe, a rural community in India that otherwise wouldn’t have access to selling their art if it weren’t for partners like Roots Studio.
