Taped Winter Jacket - Dark Olive FAQ
Is 20k/20k actually better than a 15k jacket?
Yes, the Taped Jacket carries a 20k/20k waterproof breathable rating, higher than HOWL's other shell pieces like the Shell Jacket (15k/15k). That means it can handle more sustained moisture exposure before wetting out, useful for wet coastal snow or long storm days.
What's the powder skirt for, and does it actually work?
The powder skirt is an added inner layer at the waist that cinches to seal out snow during deep days or falls, on top of the fully taped seams. It's a feature aimed specifically at powder and backcountry-adjacent use rather than casual resort laps.
Is this jacket insulated, or do I need a layer underneath?
No insulation is built in. It's a true shell relying on its 20k/20k waterproof breathable lamination and taped seams for weather protection, so pair it with a mid-layer or puffy to control warmth for the conditions you're riding in.
How does the hood stay put in wind?
It's a 3-point adjustable hood with a bungee and premium hidden toggle, letting you cinch it down tight against wind and snow rather than relying on a single drawcord.
