Chinook Shell

Meet the Women’s Chinook Shell

Winter in Canada doesn’t play by the old rules. One day it’s pouring rain, the next it’s icy gusts cutting through the streets. It’s unpredictable, frustrating — and a reminder that yesterday’s gear isn’t built for today’s winters.

Inspired by the sudden warm winds that roll off the Rockies and transform Alberta’s weather overnight, the Chinook Shell is made to adapt. Waterproof, windproof, and adjustable, it’s the piece you grab when the forecast can’t be trusted.

Wear it on its own through wet days, or layer it with the Chinook Sherpa when temperatures swing back down. Together, they create a system built to keep up with the ever-changing reality of Canadian winters.

Features & Materials

• Waterproof & Breathable Performance: Constructed with 100% high-stretch mechanical polyester shell fabric with TPU (10K/10K waterproof/breathability) and a PFC-free DWR finish for eco-conscious protection.

• Fully Sealed Protection: Fully taped seams provide complete waterproof and windproof protection, keeping you dry no matter the forecast. 

• Ventilation on Demand: Underarm zipper vents give you extra breathability when you need to ditch heat. 

• Adjustable Fit: Features a drawcord hem and hood for wind protection, plus hook-and-loop cuffs for a secure, comfortable fit.

• Structured Hood: Reinforced brim adds shape and structure to the hood, helping it hold steady in rough weather.
