Choosing the Right Jacket for You: Men's 2026/27

Bibs may be what put us on the map back in '08, but we don't skimp when it comes to our jackets; for what is a rad pair of bibs without an equally rad jacket to top it off, right? Join us as we delve into the world of ski and snowboard jackets, and hopefully we can assist in guiding you towards the perfect kit for your own signature blend of mountain adventure.

Your Men's TREW Jacket Options

Rugged, functional, and stylish are just a few words we throw around when we talk about our gear, and our jacket lineup for this year is no exception. For Winter 2026/27, we have two core jackets on offer - and honestly, they're both pretty damn good at tackling everything, from the deepest days lapping lifts at your local hill to taking things high into the alpine for long slogs, bootpacks, and descents. 

An award-winning quiver killer: The Cosmic Jacket

If you've been tagging along on our journey at all, you'll be familiar with the Cosmic Jacket. It's our OG jacket from our earliest days working out of a Hood River garage. Alongside our TREWth Bib, the Cosmic has been pushing boundaries in durability and comfort, all the while blending style with functionality like nothing else on the market.

At this point, the Cosmic feels a bit like a communal team project. In the span of nearly 18 years, the Cosmic has seen countless feature tweaks, fit updates, new fabrics, and pops of colors - and we have our beloved customers to thank for the constructive feedback throughout it all, keeping us on track as we designed and built the holy grail of all-mountain protection. 

Here we are in 2026 and the Cosmic has had yet another coming of age. With a new two-fabric zonal fabrication, a level up to 30k/30k protection, and a refinement of fit to dial in sizing and range of motion, we're hard-pressed to think of a better jacket from the archives. We've held nothing back in the design and construction of this piece, which becomes apparent as soon as you zip up and enjoy the thoughtful features, the premium material feel, and the effortless way the jacket moves with you. 

All of that does come with a bit of a price-tag, but consider this an investment in your enjoyment for many, many seasons to come. And with so much life to live in one jacket, the style had to be timeless, taking inspiration from classic alpine hues blended with our favorite freeride designs across the years. One kit, done right, for those who ski and ride it all. That's PRIMO.

Bonus - Our Cosmic Jacket comes in extended sizing up through 5XL!

Simple gear, serious fun: the new Zephyr Jacket

Brand new for the 2026/27 season, we're stoked to introduce our reimagined Cascade Collection and the men's Zephyr Jacket. 

We've heard our community's call for a bomber jacket with a price that won't sting, and that's exactly what we created with the Zephyr. Paired with the matching bib, the Zephyr kit keeps things simple and focuses on what you really need to have a damn good time on snow, no matter what kind of precip might be falling 

from the sky or what kind of variable conditions you're sliding on. Streamlined, unassuming, stylish without chasing trends: this is simple gear for serious play.

Where the Cosmic zigs, the Zephyr zags. A cup-half-full, "less is more" attitude make this 3-layer, 20k/20k jacket really stand out from the crowd - and in a world of high-tech, feature-rich options, our Zephyr Jacket is a refreshing take on the modern freeride layer. Priced below $400 but still nailing the trifecta of rugged weather protection, all-day comfort, and the TREW style that you've come to expect, we can't wait to see and hear what you think of this new collection.

And for the backcountry addict....coming soon.

Our new Exploration Division will be launching in January 2027, and with it comes a new jacket (and a new soft-shell...gasp!) catering to the die-hard tourists out there looking to move fast and light. Grab a sneak peek of the new collection here, but you'll have to wait until the new year to get more details and shop the new threads. 

While we could talk gear for days, let's dive into the side-by-side comparison and show you just what makes our different men's jacket options shine.

Jacket-Picking Hot Tips from TREW

If you're new to TREW, you may want to size down. All of our jackets are designed and sized with layering in mind, and because of this you may find that our gear fits larger than the same size from another brand. In most cases, we have found that people purchasing their first jacket from TREW will order too big and have to exchange for a smaller size. And if you are in between sizes, size down.

It's always a good idea to take your measurements and use our sizing charts (found on each product page) before making an order. Or better yet get in touch with us directly (see sizing form link below) - we love helping you pick out the right jacket and size!

Our most popular Men's Jacket is the Cosmic - and for good reason! The Cosmic is a great hybrid jacket, checking all of the boxes for both resort laps and backcountry tours. If you are going to have just one coat, this is a great choice. Don't just take our word for it: Ski Mag, Blister, Freeskier, The Inertia, GearJunkie, and more have all raved about the Cosmic.
