Product details

Storm days at Big White and SilverStar bring the best snow of the season. They also bring wind-driven flakes on the chairlift, flat light in the trees, and hours of exposure to the elements. The Peak Performance Vertec HIPE® 3L Shell Jacket is built for skiers who want to make the most of those days. It's rated 20,000mm waterproof and 20,000g breathable, with fully sealed seams to keep the weather out. Peak Performance designed it for resort skiers who also explore the backcountry. The relaxed, articulated cut moves with you whether you're lapping groomers or skinning into fresh Okanagan powder beyond the boundary.

WHO IS THIS FOR

The Vertec Jacket is for all-mountain skiers who spend most days at the resort but like to venture further when conditions line up. It's built for deep storm days in the trees at Big White, windy ridgelines at SilverStar, and the occasional tour into Okanagan sub-alpine terrain. Peak Performance gave it a relaxed fit with articulated sleeves and a dropped, seat-length hem. That leaves room for layers underneath and keeps you covered when you're sitting on the chair or kneeling to transition. It's an uninsulated shell, so you can adjust your warmth with base and mid-layers as the weather changes.

FAQ

Q1: How does Peak Performance sizing run — true to size, or should I size up/down (and does it accommodate a base/mid-layer)?
The Vertec Jacket has a relaxed fit with articulated sleeves and a dropped, seat-length hem. The roomier cut leaves space for a base layer and a mid-layer, such as a fleece or a light insulated jacket, underneath. We recommend trying it on in-store over the layers you normally ski in so you can find the right size.

Q2: Is this jacket warm and waterproof enough for storm days at Big White and SilverStar?
For weather protection, yes. The 3-layer HIPE® fabric is rated 20,000mm waterproof and is fully windproof. The fully sealed seams, AquaGuard® zippers, snow skirt, and helmet-compatible hood also help keep snow out on deep, stormy days. The Vertec is a shell rather than an insulated jacket, so your warmth comes from what you layer underneath. Pair it with a base layer and an insulating mid-layer for cold Okanagan storm cycles, and open the underarm vents when you're working hard or the sun comes out.

Q3: How do I care for HIPE® fabric to maintain waterproofing and breathability?
Close all zippers and remove the goggle wipe cloth before washing. Machine wash at 40°C with similar colours, and don't use fabric softener, bleach, dry cleaning, professional wet cleaning, or ironing. Peak Performance recommends tumble drying on low after washing to maintain the water-repellent treatment, or you can line dry in the shade. Regular washing removes dirt and body oils that can reduce breathability over the season.
