Boardworks Breakdown: 

 The Black Diamond Helio 3-layer GORETEX Active Shell is mega waterproof, durable, great for touring, and is pretty much the ideal shell for touring and riding out of bounds. I mean, just look at those pit-zips! This thing will keep you dry AND help you not sweat your heart out. 

Manufacturer Description: 

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. 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.
