When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Sylva 3L Jacket - Women's

Sylva 3L Jacket - Women's

Description

We are big fans of the Picture Organic Sylva 3L Jacket for several reasons. This jacket excels in providing optimal protection, whether we are facing harsh winds, deep snow, or fluctuating body temperatures during our ski tours or splitboard missions.

One of the standout features is the highly breathable membrane and pit vents. These allow the escape of internal moisture vapors and excess heat during strenuous ascents. On the descent, the 3-layer construction effectively tackles wind and snow, ensuring our comfort throughout.

Key Features:

  • Ski and snowboard jacket designed specifically for backcountry touring
  • The 3-layer DryPlay membrane offers robust waterproof protection
  • Fully sealed seams create a reliable barrier against seeping moisture
  • PFC-free water-repellent treatment effectively sheds snow and light rain
  • Wrist gaiters with thumbholes act as a barrier against drafts under gloves
  • Pockets with waterproof zips keep small items secure and dry
  • Removable stretch powder skirt helps prevent snow from getting into layers
  • Adjustable hood, cuffs, and hem for a personalized fit
