SEABA Heli Guide Jacket

Designed, tested and approved by a tough crowd of Alaskan heli guides, this shell is a bombproof choice for big mountain lines in skiing's biggest venues.

As seen in Powder Magazine's 2012-2013 Apparel Guide
"First Ascent, through its parent company Eddie Bauer, is known for crafting top-notch down insulation, but spend the day in one of their shells and you'll realize that these people know how to treat the core skier. Case and point, the Seaba Jacket is three-layer, 10K/20K waterproof/breathable and leaves nothing to chance. It has an athletic fit to reduce bunching and works perfectly with layers."

WeatherEdge® Plus

Serious weather protection for those who demand high performance in a wide range of activities. The first number in its 10K/20K rating is the waterproofness; the fabric can withstand 10,000 mm of water suspended over its surface before moisture seeps through. The second number shows its breathability; it allows 10,000 grams of water vapor per square meter of fabric to escape in 24 hours.

StormRepel®

Our durable water-repellent (DWR) finish causes moisture to bead up on the surface so it rolls off or evaporates rather than soaking into the fabric.
