Hailing from Aspen, Colorado, Derek began his skiing career in the illustrious Powder Pandas ski school program, eventually sort of growing up to ski professionally in slopestyle and big air, while moonlighting as a ski tuner and writer.

Now living in Colorado’s front range, Derek can be found among the i70 crowd racing to find hidden powder stashes on the back bowls of Vail, on Park Lane in Breckenridge, under the lights on Keystone, and returning home to the High Alpine steeps in Snowmass. When he's not skiing he’s wishing he was, or nerding out on mountain biking, climbing, and golf.

North Face Thermoball Eco Snow Triclimate Product

While the North Face Clement Triclimate was our favorite overall jacket, the ThermoBall ECO Snow Triclimate is another extremely solid 3-in-1 option, providing a versatile layer package at a reasonable price point.

Of course, the 3-in-1 design helps you customize your layers, whether you prioritize warmth, weather resistance, or both. But what stood out to us with this jacket is that because of the hanging mesh lining, when worn alone, the shell is warmer than other shell jackets in the market.

The North Face also packs this jacket with sweet features like tons of pockets, a goggle wipe, and a powder skirt. Best of all, its overall performance matches much more expensive jackets.

Things we like:

DryVent fabric is completely waterproof
