The Black Diamond Helio Active Shell is built to handle big vert and fast descents during epic days in the backcountry. The jacket's 3-layer Gore-Tex Active technology provides ultimate breathability for high-intensity ski touring, while maintaining its durable waterproof/windproof protection. The Helio Active's Gore-Tex C-Knit backer adds to the shell's comfort, replacing the usual crispness of a traditional hardshell with a quieter overall construction. Featuring two harness compatible hand pockets and a single-adjust Coheasive hood that's compatible with a climbing helmet, the Helio Active is ready for alpine and ski mountaineering objectives, while full-length pit zip vents allow for quick temperature regulation for high output activity. An internal drop pocket stores essentials, and the single-adjust Coheasive hem features an internal cord management system, allowing you to keep out unwanted moisture.
