PowSlayer Freeride Kit by Patagonia

A big-mountain freeride kit for hunting  the steepest and deepest powder.

The PowSlayer Freeride Kit

It’s a bold goal to make the best better. After nearly a decade of cutting-edge design and athlete-led testing, we didn’t just perfect our legendary PowSlayer series; we created an entire layering system designed specifically for the needs of big-mountain freeriding, from pre-dawn skintracks to the deepest and steepest descents.

Welcome to the PowSlayer Freeride Kit.

Dive Deeper: Big-Mountain Mobility, Refined

Each piece of the PowSlayer Freeride Kit has been designed, patterned and tested together to ensure they all interact seamlessly, allowing us to align every pocket, cuff, hood and feature in a way that supports mobility, easy adjustments and unfettered accessibility.

The most durable, breathable and lightweight storm protection, made without intentionally added PFAS

Bellowed design expands to fit larger items like skins, without adding weight or bulk

Seals out wind and snow and lies flat when not in use

Fixed hood with hidden stretch panels can be pulled over a helmet when collar is fully zipped

High collar and laminated visor for full protection and visibility in even the stormiest conditions

Designed to pair with the Nano-Air® Ultralight Freeride Jacket, DAS® Light Hoody and PowSlayer Pack

A snow-specific midlayer built specifically for the skintrack and designed to be worn all day, on its own or under a shell

Stretchy 20-g FullRange® insulation in the body and arms for the perfect balance of warmth and breathability

Additional protective fabric at the shoulders and hood resists light precipitation and abrasion from pack straps

A dose of warmth for your waist that’s easy to take on and off, yet takes up almost no space in your pack

Downlike PlumaFill synthetic insulation is highly packable, ultralight and stays warm when wet

Full-length zips make it easy to pull off and on over shell pants without removing boots

Maximum warmth in even the wettest weather, while also taking up minimal room in your pack

Elastic-hemmed hood is easy to pull over a hat with the collar fully zipped for uninterrupted face protection

Designed to layer over the Nano-Air® Ultralight Freeride Jacket for alpine starts or chilly changeovers

A highly articulated fit for greater freedom of movement with less weight, built with GORE-TEX ePE Pro fabric for the ultimate level of durable, breathable storm protection

Zippered thigh vents dump heat quickly on the skintrack, and are tucked behind the bellowed thigh pockets to help keep out snow and wind

All the features you need for a big day in the backcountry, boiled down to their simplest form

Full-length back panel opens wide for full access to main compartment, while also preventing snow intrusion

Secure carry system holds a helmet either on the top or front of the pack and tucks away on the descent

Built with quick-wicking Polartec® Power Grid® fabric and offset flatlock seams that won’t chafe or bunch on the skintrack

22" inseam won’t interfere with ski or snowboard boots

Low-profile elastic thumb loops keep sleeves secure under gloves and tuck away when not in use

Ski & Snowboard Clothing

Our snow gear is designed and relentlessly tested for the deepest days, toughest skintracks and stormiest conditions, and built with environmental impact-reducing materials to protect winter the best we can.
