It should be uncompromising, technically confident, and able to disappear once the weather turns hostile and the focus narrows to the descent ahead. The Summit Verbier GORE-TEX Jacket from The North Face is built in that tradition, aimed squarely at skiers and riders who spend real time in challenging conditions rather than just chasing groomers between café stops.
