Columbia Mens Citadell Mountain Shell Jacket

Pros and cons



OutDry Extreme membrane
The membrane sits on the outside of the jacket, so the fabric never absorbs moisture and you stay dry on the outside and the inside.




Fully taped seams
Every seam is taped, leaving no weak spots where moisture can get in.




Removable powder skirt
On the piste it keeps the jacket in place, and you can zip it off when you wear the jacket away from the mountain.




Helmet-compatible hood
The hood fits over a helmet and adjusts quickly and easily with the Cohaesive cord lock.




RECCO reflector
The jacket features a RECCO reflector.




No insulation
This is a pure shell: without a good mid layer underneath, it will be too cold on chilly days.




Description

The Columbia Mens Citadell Mountain Shell Jacket is a men's hardshell ski jacket built around the OutDry Extreme membrane. That membrane sits on the outside of the jacket, so the fabric itself never absorbs moisture. The inside is soft and wicks moisture away. All seams are fully taped. With no insulation, you decide how warm you stay by choosing the mid layer underneath. The helmet-compatible hood adjusts in seconds, the pit zips let you vent during high-output moments, and the ski pass pocket is exactly where you'd expect it. The longer cut falls past the hip.
