“Outerwear" is considered to be what you wear on top of all those other layers. Southeast Alaska's temperate rainforest climate demands the toughest outwear available. As a skier, climber, or backpacker, you also need outerwear that breathes well, dries quickly, and enables you to move freely. We have the best options for lightweight, waterproof, breathable jackets ideally suited for any season in Southeast Alaska. For those cold and dry days we have down and synthetic insulated jackets to snuggle up in and windproof jackets and softshells for those windy summer days.
