Product Insights & Style Tips
The Backcountry Cardiac Xpore 3L Touring Jacket feels built for backcountry days that swing from climb to turn. An articulated cut frees the shoulders and hips, while a high-low hem keeps the line clean as you power up. Sleeve vents vent heat, and the grid-tricot backed collar with a chin guard shields your face from icy crosswinds without chafing. Recycled fabrics meet an eco-nanoporous membrane for weather protection with a conscience.
For movement, the jacket offers an unfettered silhouette through the shoulders and torso, and the cinchable hem and hood seal out powder on the descent. Large front pockets stash skins, beacon and other gear, while unlined sleeve vents keep cooling air moving on the climb. Adjustable, gusseted cuffs accommodate gloves or bare wrists and let this shell layer neatly over a midlayer as conditions shift.
As part of Backcountry's sustainable outerwear ethos, the Cardiac Xpore uses recycled face and backer fabrics and a PFAS-free membrane, tuned for the backcountry while keeping nature in mind. It rides with a pared-back look that still feels technical, pairing with fleece or lightweight midlayers for transitions from ascent to descent and beyond.
