DC Men's Tack Snow Jacket

The Tack is far from tacky. Clearly “denim-inspired,” this jacket is fashionable yet unpredictably waterproof. Metal buttons secure the khaki-mocking cotton/polyester/twill blend; unfasten them for a glimpse of a fun Hawaiian print taffeta liner. Testers wore the Tack from Denver urban sessions to Summit County park days and mountain town après events, beholden to the stylish yet functional design. “It sheds water but it doesn’t look at all like a snowboarding jacket,” said one tester, acknowledging the paradox responsible for his approval. “DC’s done it again.”
