Description

Whether you are shredding fresh powder in Tuckerman Ravine, hiking in high winds on the Franconia range, toiling uphill on a snowy ascent on Mt. Liberty, or just cruising your favorite blue at Loon, the rugged and versatile all-mountain Tuckerman Hardshell is all you need.

The Tuckerman is made using the most breathable waterproof fabric in the industry, Polartec® NeoShell. The design also allows for a free range of motion that ensures you won't be held back this winter - both from the weather and overheating.  With an estimated Water Vapor Transmisson Rate of 30,000gm per square meter every 24 hours, you will struggle to find anything close.  Learn more here.

PLEASE NOTE: Sizes XS, S, and M have the White Burgeon "Script" logo on the front. Sizes M, L, XL, and XXL have a leather "B" patch on the front and a Burgeon "Range" leather patch on the left arm. In the photos section, we've included photos of both patches. This note applies to all 4 color options.

Sustainability

Sustainability: Our Tuckerman Hardshell is made from deadstock material.  We purchased this first quality material after Polartec® ended its production of NeoShell.  All the material was either a factory overrun or canceled by a customer.  Its carbon impact is drastically lower than if we had ordered new material.  In addition, all Tuckerman products are handsewn and seam taped in New Hampshire.  US domestic production ensures compliance with high environmental standards, a cleaner electrical grid, more efficient transportation infrastructure, as well as reducing the overall distance (and carbon footprint required) to move through a global supply chain.

Made Locally

Made in New Hampshire: The Tuckerman Hardshell is handstitched and seam-taped by the Burgeon production team in Gorham, New Hampshire.

Worker Standards: The Tuckerman Hardshell is handstitched and seam-taped by the Burgeon production team in Gorham, New Hampshire.  Burgeon follows all federal, state, and local laws and regulations that protect our employees.  Burgeon production team members also enjoy flexible working hours, paid time off (vacation, sick, safe), and all ten federal holidays.  Burgeon covers 100% of healthcare premiums for all employees who average 30+ hours per week.  All Burgeon production team members are eligible for a monthly bonus based on our sales.  5% of the sales of the Tuckerman Hardshell go directly into this bonus pool.

High Quality Packable Preformance

Okay, I've given this a couple months to really put this jacket through the ringer and give it an honest review...

Pros: highly adjustable and thoughtfully designed features - single pull rear adjustment and dual side adjustments of the hood are great and easily accommodate a helmet without budging; hidden dual adjustments on skirt help to keep out snow; wind proof and rain resistant; dual chest pockets easily fit a phone/snacks/etc.; generous venting from pit-zips; GREAT color options - the autumn gold is super unique and stands out; seam seals on the zippers are high quality and keeps everything nice and dry underneath; slim-fit style, but still enough space to layer as needed

Cons: Zippers get caught on the seam seals; not enough pockets - only 2 chest pockets and no waist pockets or interior pocket.

Overall, this is a fantastic high-quality NH-made hard-shell jacket on par, if not better than, similar hard-shells on the market. I've brought this out ski touring, mountaineering, ice climbing, hiking, and resort skiing and it has exceeded my expectations in performance, durability, and packability (it's not super stiff and doesn't wrinkle) across all kinds of activities. I absolutely love 99% of this jacket, but would love to see the addition of waist pockets and/or interior pockets. My hands get cold quickly and having a windproof layer to tuck my hands into the pockets of is a must. This is a welcomed addition to my layering system and will come along on many more adventures!

For reference, 5'7" ~135lbs, typically size 4/6 S/M, and the medium fits perfect with room for layering.
