Details
Give your kid one less thing to whine about when you outfit them with the Explorer Shell Jacket. This streamlined shell doesn’t have the bulky, too-hot insulation you’ll find in a lot of kids’ outerwear; instead it’s a stormproof two-layer jacket that’ll protect them from wind and rain without causing them to overheat while hauling their gear through the parking lot. It comes with features you’d expect but are surprisingly hard to find in kids’ gear, like a helmet-compatible hood, waterproof fabric, pockets you can actually fit snacks into, and underarm vents.

The Youth Explorer Shell... Features
80/20 Resort/Backcountry
You don't want to sacrifice durability when you're skiing and riding at the resort, which means you're willing to opt for heavier-duty fabrics and toasty insulation so you'll get all-day protection from the weather and the elements. Don't worry, we still offer ample venting and fabrics that release heat and moisture when you warm up, so if you want to take a hike or go for a ski tour, you won't overheat.

The Youth Explorer Shell... Features
Surface 2L and 3L
Do this for a minute: Put on your ski jacket or pants and go step in the shower. If you’re wearing a Flylow piece made with Surface 2-layer or 3-layer hardshell fabric by Intuitive, you’ll watch the water bead up on the surface and slide right off. This burly, 150-Denier oxford weave, coated with a Durable Water Repellent, is designed to keep you warm and dry and have a tough but smooth feel. A nylon tricot on the backing protects the membrane and wicks moisture away from your body.
PFC-Free
PFCs, or perfluorocarbons, are found in chemicals often used in Durable Water Repellent (or DWR), and once released into the environment, those chemicals are no good. Instead of harmful PFCs, we’re using a friendlier, bio-based treatment that will still keep your fabric dry in a storm but is kinder to you and our planet.
