Technical and performant, this is the new Eider The Rocks Jacket Review from InTheSnow. For men and women, this jacket features a mix of new colours and trims, yet still maintains that “mountain to town” spirit.

A true mountain-to-town ski jacket, the modern Rocks Jackets pull design inspiration from city streets, with its weave-like texture and brushed metal trims. But make no mistake, this jacket has been engineered to perform for skiers and snowboarders, thanks to the full set of versatile ski features, like removable snow skirt, multitude of inner and outer pockets, and removable hood. Defender® membrane and body-mapped insulation assure you stay warm and dry, whether you’re going big on the mountain or going out on the town.

RRP: approx £265
Available at Snow & Rock and online

Eider The Rocks Jacket Technical Features

  • Defender – A product of Eider research, the Defender® membrane guarantees garments that are at once waterproof, windproof and breathable.
  • DWR finish – A durable water repellent (DWR) finish is a surface treatment that stops water from penetrating fabric: water beads up and rolls away.
  • Low Impact – LOW IMPACT is a unique standard based on two essential eco-design criteria : eco-friendly material (at least 40% of the product weight must use eco-friendly material), and certifications (at least 80% of the product weight must be BLUESIGN® approved).
