Obermeyer Foundation Jacket

The Obermeyer Foundation Jacket is a men’s insulated ski and snowboard jacket built for full resort days, combining dependable 15k weather protection, warm mapped insulation, and practical mountain features in a versatile everyday design.

Why It Works

• 15k Weather Protection: HydroBlock® Pro fabric and Skier Critical™ seam sealing help block out snow, wind, and wet weather while staying breathable enough for active resort use.
• Mapped Insulated Warmth: With 100 gm insulation in the body, 80 gm in the sleeves, and 40 gm in the hood, the Foundation delivers reliable warmth without feeling excessively bulky.
• Built for Resort Function: CZV™ Control Zone Ventilation, a helmet-compatible removable hood, and a Snap-Away™ powder skirt make it easy to adapt the jacket to changing conditions on the mountain.
• Durable Everyday Construction: Reinforced shoulders, YKK® zippers, and articulated patterning help the jacket hold up to repeated lift rides, gear contact, and regular ski-day wear.

Perfect Match

The Foundation Jacket is a strong fit for men who want a dependable insulated outerwear piece for skiing, snowboarding, and general winter mountain use. It especially suits resort riders who want warmth, ventilation, and practical on-hill storage in a regular-fit jacket that can handle frequent use.

The Details

• Shell Fabric: HydroBlock® Pro 45% REPREVE® polyester, 55% polyester 2-way stretch shell.
• Insulation: 100 gm body, 80 gm sleeve, 40 gm hood.
• Lining: 100% nylon lining.

How It Compares

Compared with lighter shell jackets, the Foundation adds more built-in warmth and daily convenience for cold resort riding. Compared with higher-end technical pieces, it focuses more on practical value and reliable ski-day function than on ultralight construction or ultra-premium waterproof membranes.

Bottom Line: The Obermeyer Foundation Jacket is a men’s insulated ski jacket for resort riders who want dependable 15k weather protection, mapped warmth, and practical mountain-ready features in a proven everyday design.

Choose the Foundation Jacket if you want one of Obermeyer’s staple insulated resort jackets with a strong balance of warmth, durability, and value.
