Who Are The Quiksilver Dominate Gore-Tex Jacket and Snow Down Gore-Tex Pant For?

Inspired by the late ‘90s, the Dominate jacket and Snow Down Pants are made for the guys who wish their old outerwear would have been made as durable as outerwear is made now. With a design that pays tribute to boxy oversized silhouettes combined with technical benefits brought by Gore-Tex, this is a trendy, durable, and eco-friendly outfit.

Materials and Construction

Made with ocean waste outerwear shell fabric, the Dominate jacket and Snow Down pants are constructed from Quiksilver’s ‘Blue Ocean’ nylon. The yarn is made from used/discarded fishing buoys, which together with other fishing gear represents about 10% of the plastic dumped in the ocean – hence why we want to find an alternative use for it.

The 2L jacket and pants also come with a Gore-Tex membrane, assuring for ultimate protection from the elements. Gore-Tex is the industry leader when it comes to waterproof, breathable and durable outerwear, meaning protection against the element no matter the weather.

Fit and Features

In true ‘90s style, both the pants and the jacket are designed with straight colour blockings and printed decorative tapes. The jacket comes in a modern fit suited for longer hikes in the backcountry too. The pants are cut in a regular fit, leaving them baggy enough to give you the 90’s vibes, but tight enough to be equipped for backcountry hiking.

There are plenty of nice features to be found here too. The jacket features a helmet-compatible hood, a jacket-to-pant attachment system to prevent snow from getting in and plenty of useful pockets. A drawcord waist adjustment has been added to the pants so there’s no need to have to worry about getting a belt, while the mesh-lined venting is there to give that extra breeze when needed.
