Details
Made with our customized The Perm fabric, by Intuitive, the Kane Jacket prioritizes air permeability for high-motion activities like backcountry skiing, so heat can escape your body before you sweat, regulating your temperature. This supremely lightweight jacket is stretchy and supple, which is critical when you’re trying to kickturn in tight trees or stuff the jacket into your already-jammed backcountry pack. It takes the durability and packability of a 3-layer ski jacket but without any unnecessary extras (powder skirt … why bother?). It’s got underarm vents, a helmet-compatible hood, no shoulder seams to reduce friction while wearing a pack, and ample pockets.

The 2023 Kane Jacket Features
80/20 Backcountry/Resort
You spend much of your time on a skintrack in search of good snow, and this gear is designed to handle windy summits, spring tours, and long days in the mountains. Fabric choices are made to offer lightweight breathability and air permeability for high-output activities, like bootpacking a couloir. But if there's powder at the ski resort, you'll be there, and this gear can handle all-day liftline laps, too.

Best of the Year
“Light, nimble, and always on the go, Flylow’s newest shell is low on bells and whistles but high on all the things that matter when you’re working up a sweat. Made with The Perm waterproof, breathable fabric, the Kane keeps the focus on regulating your thermostat. There are huge, 12-inch pit zips and a few handy pockets, but no powder skirt, goggle pocket, or other niceties to weigh you down.”
Blister Best Of
"The Kane Jacket is Flylow’s lightest, most breathable shell that’s great for touring but not so barebones or fragile that we avoid using it in the resort. In fact, we’ve come to love it for year-round lift laps and backcountry tours. It uses Flylow’s air-permeable and waterproof Perm Stretch fabric, which is absurdly comfortable."

The 2023 Kane Jacket Features
The Perm
In other waterproof breathable garments, the fabric has to get wet first in order to transfer moisture. That means you have to sweat and risk getting cold—not a good thing in the backcountry—before your layer wicks the sweat away. Not so with the Perm, Intuitive’s most air-permeable fabric that’s stretchy and hits 20K on the waterproofness scale. The Perm lets heat escape before you sweat.
High Performance DWR
We dare you to go stand in a shower or the next rainstorm with your favorite Flylow jacket on. See how the water molecules roll off the shell fabric? That’s due to our high-performance Durable Water Repellent, a polymer coating added to fabric that makes it hydrophobic, meaning moisture beads up and rolls off, like marbles on glass.
