No, we believe it is a much more versatile design to create a layering system for the hardshell, insulation, and other layers. Insulated ski/snowboard jackets can get too hot in warmer (spring) temperatures, whereas our Duke, Xena, and Pups hardshells can be worn as an insulated jacket (separate SHRED DOG insulator zips into the hardshell) or as a waterproof/breathable shell over other lighter layers on warmer days.

Layering System.
