Clear out your closet. Here's one jacket to replace them all. With three layers of light, stretchy Helly Tech fabric, the one-pound Odin is sleek and durable enough for alpine guides but still loaded with techy on-piste features. The zip-off powder skirt, helmet-compatible hood, clear pass pocket, and raised shoulder padding for carrying skis made it the top choice with in-bounds testers from the Tetons to the Cascades. And in sidecountry, Recco reflectors help ski patrol locate you if things go awry, while big pit zips and mesh-backed waist pockets double the venting for high-output ascents. Our only gripe is the price, though there's more value than at first glance, since the Odin is just packable and lightweight enough to double as a backpacking jacket in warmer months. 1.1 lbs
