Obermeyer Foraker Shell Jacket

The Obermeyer Foraker Shell Jacket is a men’s technical ski and snowboard shell built for riders who want high-level 20k weather protection, relaxed mobility, and clean mountain-ready functionality in a lightweight non-insulated design.

Why It Works

• 20k Waterproof Protection: The HydroBlock® Elite shell and fully seam-sealed construction help block out wet snow, wind, and storm conditions while maintaining strong breathability for active riding.
• True Shell Versatility: With no built-in insulation, the Foraker makes layering easier across cold midwinter days, milder spring laps, and changing mountain weather.
• Relaxed All-Mountain Fit: The roomier silhouette and 32-inch center back length give the jacket a freeride-friendly feel with enough space for layering and unrestricted movement.
• Technical Resort Features: CZV™ Control Zone Ventilation, a helmet-compatible adjustable hood, RECCO® reflector, powderskirt, and multiple secure pockets make it ready for long days on snow.

Perfect Match

The Foraker Shell Jacket is a strong fit for men who want a protective shell for skiing, snowboarding, and all-mountain winter use. It especially suits riders who prefer to manage warmth with layering and want stronger waterproofing, better breathability, and a more technical feature set than a basic resort shell.

• Shell Fabric: HydroBlock® Elite 45% REPREVE® polyester, 55% polyester plain weave 2-way stretch.
• Insulation: None.

How It Compares

Compared with insulated ski jackets, the Foraker Shell Jacket gives you more layering freedom and a broader temperature range. Compared with simpler shells, it adds a more technical mountain feature package and stronger storm-readiness for riders who spend serious time on snow.

Bottom Line: The Obermeyer Foraker Shell Jacket is a men’s ski and snowboard shell for riders who want 20k weather protection, relaxed layering-friendly fit, and dependable all-mountain features in a lightweight technical outer layer.

Choose the Foraker Shell Jacket if you want a clean, versatile Obermeyer shell that can handle storm days, changing temperatures, and full resort seasons.
