Whistler’s Sudan Couloir, Corbet’s at Jackson Hole, Mt. Baker’s Hemispheres. So much vertical to check off your list, and not nearly enough days off. The trip of a lifetime doesn’t always include bluebird skies and balmy temps, though, so come prepared in one of our favorite Omni-Tech® jackets. The men’s Blade Run II Parka is an ingenious combination of style, premium technical features, and crucial affordability. We’ve kept costs at a minimum with critical seam sealing—only reinforcing the seams on the chest, shoulders, and arms where it truly counts—and by mimicking the luxe look and feel of softshell on the liner with a more economical smooth-face brushed fleece. However, Omni-Tech means this winter workhorse doesn’t skimp on waterproof breathability. Like all of Columbia’s Interchange jackets featuring removable, stand-alone liners, the Blade Run II delivers three coats for the price of one. Active fit. FEATURES:
