Description & Features
The Arctica A Team Black Kat Training Jacket combines weather protection, stretch, and lightweight warmth for alpine ski race training. Arctica's FLEXSHELL fabric is waterproof, windproof, breathable, and flexible for unrestricted movement, while the Octigrid microfleece lining adds warmth and comfort without the bulk of a heavily insulated ski jacket.
The trim racer fit layers easily over your race suit or baselayers and stays streamlined on the hill. The hood fits over your helmet for extra coverage during course inspection or training. You get two exterior zippered pockets, an interior zip pocket, and a pass pocket for secure, easy-access storage on race day.

Construction & Technology
FLEXSHELL Performance Fabric
Arctica's exclusive FLEXSHELL fabric combines waterproof and windproof protection with breathability and stretch. The flexible construction allows the jacket to move naturally with the skier, making it well suited to active training, course inspection, and other race-day use where mobility is as important as weather protection.
Octigrid Microfleece Lining
The Octigrid microfleece lining adds soft, lightweight warmth inside the FLEXSHELL shell. This construction provides insulation for cold training conditions without relying on the heavier synthetic insulation found in a traditional insulated ski jacket.
Trim Race Suit Layering Fit
The trim racer fit maintains a streamlined profile while providing room for a race suit and baselayers underneath. This gives racers a closer-fitting training layer for active skiing while maintaining the mobility provided by the stretch FLEXSHELL construction.
Helmet-Friendly Hood
The hood is designed to accommodate a ski helmet, providing additional coverage during course inspection, training, lift rides, and time between runs without requiring racers to remove their helmet.
