Built-in warmth for winter skiing
The Fawk uses 60 g/m² insulation in the body and 40 g/m² in the sleeves and hood. A warm midlayer can add to that for colder lifts; the jacket’s padding stays in place when you remove the midlayer.
Montec also sells an uninsulated lined-shell version. For cold lift-served days, choose the insulated version; the lined shell needs a separate warm layer underneath.
Closing out snow and opening up for heat
The SHIELD-TEC outer has fully taped seams. Two overlapping flaps cover the front zipper, and the deep, helmet-compatible hood adjusts at the front and rear.
Large underarm vents let air through when you warm up. The full-length front opening is also easier to open between runs than a pullover, although the fixed insulation makes the Fawk less adaptable than a shell on a very warm day.
Gloves, pockets and the waist
Gussets widen the sleeve openings for larger gloves. Stretch wrist gaiters sit underneath, while an adjustable snow skirt and hem drawcord help close the jacket at the waist.
A zipped pass pocket sits on the left sleeve, with a separate phone pocket and larger internal mesh pockets for goggles or gloves. Fleece at the chin softens the area where the high collar meets your face.
