Description
Handcrafted and conceptualized in the Pacific Northwest by Mervin Manufacturing (the creators of Lib Tech), the Lib Tech Nooksack Jacket is named after the iconic Nooksack River that flows through the foothills of Mt. Baker—Lib Tech’s ultimate testing ground. Built as a core staple in their rider-driven Storm Factory outerwear lineup, the Nooksack jacket was engineered specifically to handle the infamous coastal weather of the Pacific Northwest, where heavy, wet snow, howling winds, and freezing rain test gear to its absolute breaking point.
Designed with a relaxed, articulated freestyle fit, the Nooksack provides maximum mobility for tweaking grabs, pressing rails, and navigating dense tree lines. It combines heavy-duty weatherproofing with Mervin’s signature “environMENTALly nicer” manufacturing practices, making it a go-to jacket for freeriders and park chargers who demand unyielding storm protection without compromising sustainability.
