Mountain Hardwear First Tracks Down Jacket - Men's

First Tracks Down Jacket brings warm, weatherproof confidence to cold resort laps

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve taken this jacket out on single-digit days, and the warmth-to-weight balance feels spot on for resort riding. The stretch ripstop moves well on the chairlift and during quick transitions, and the vents are clutch when the sun comes out mid-afternoon. I like that the powder skirt actually stays put—small detail, big payoff."

We settle into cold resort mornings with the First Tracks Down Jacket, knowing it’s built for long chairlift rides, quick turns, and weather that changes by the minute. Its down insulation warms up fast as we boot up in the parking lot, and the waterproof laminate keeps us dry when snow rolls in during a late-day storm. The stretch ripstop shell gives us freedom to move whether we’re carving groomers or threading through tighter tree runs.

Mountain Hardwear structures the First Tracks Down Jacket around a 2-layer waterproof and breathable system that stands up to wind, packed snow, and steady flakes. Underarm vents help us dial in temperature when we’re lapping terrain or hiking between stashes. Snow cuffs and thumb loops seal out powder, the hood fits cleanly around a helmet, and the powder skirt adds reliable protection on deeper days. With pockets placed for passes, phones, and on-hill essentials, the jacket stays functional from first bell to last lift.
