A fixed, integrated hood and clean, minimal styling set the Karbon Hermes Men's Insulated Jacket apart from the rest of the lineup. Underneath is a fully waterproof stretch shell and slim synthetic insulation, giving you a warm, weatherproof resort jacket with a simple look that doesn't feel bulky.

Why we like it:

Skipping the removable hood was a smart call. With nothing to zip on or leave in the car, the hood stays sealed to the collar and ready for the first squall.

Features and Functions:

The hood is built into the collar rather than zipping off, so there is no seam or zipper to leak or come loose in a storm. Quadra Stretch face fabric with Karbon's Karbonite waterproof-breathable laminate forms the shell with sealed seams throughout, backed by a warm but slim layer of Thermore Invisiloft synthetic insulation. The full wind flap is lined with soft fleece and has an integrated chin guard. Welded hook-and-loop cuffs with a gusset hide an internal stretch cuff with a thumb loop. Underarm zips vent heat, a zip-out powder skirt sits at the hem, and a weightless nylon lining keeps layering smooth.

Fit and Sizing:

Articulated stretch fit with a regular resort length and room for a light midlayer underneath.

Bottom Line:

Best for skiers who want a clean, low-key look and a hood that's always there when the weather turns.
