Tsurugi Jacket

When I first got this piece I just thought it would be like any old shell... boy was I wrong. This thing is legit. I use it for ski touring in the winter and hiking/cycling in the summer. It manages to keep all the elements (wind/snow/rain) out while keeping you able to breath at the same time. I didn't realize the benefits of an asymmetrical zipper until now. It gets out of the way when doing an activity and the massive chest pocket it makes room for is great for keeping track of any items you may want on person. It is also extremely stylish and something different that stands out in the bloated world of high performance gear. I would highly recommend for anyone who wants a shell that is the only thing you need to bring on any outdoor adventure. Plus when paired with a solid mid-layer it is amazing for skiing and allows for total unrestricted range of movement. I got mine in seafoam green and absolutely love it, highly, highly recommend.

This Jacket is absolutely perfect. I was looking for a lightweight but super protective shell for a recent trip to the Dolomites and happy I landed on the Tsurugi. Easy access to mid layer and bib pockets without exposing very much to the elements. I am 5’7 190lbs and went with the L which provided a looser fit over my base layer and sweater. Customer service was stellar and provided good advice very quick shipment. Highly recommend this jacket and the company!

Exactly what I wanted. Visible and sized well. 6’0 157 lbs and went with a medium

I got this jacket to have something lighter for backcountry skiing adventures, but now I use it for everything. The fit is perfect for me (size Large, 6'1" 175 lbs). I love that the zipper doesn't mess with my harness when ice climbing. I've put it through a month of heavy use as a ski/alpine guide in Montana and it looks brand new. Photos don't do this thing justice, go try one out!

I bought this jacket for skiing which it’s great at and the orange is great. I love to be seen. But the lightweight aspect of this makes it great as an all around shell for all times of the year. The fit is perfect. I think the only thing I’d wish for is pit zips. It would make this shell perfect
