The Backshift Pro is on the premium end of FXR’s lineup. So, you’ll get all their top-of-the-line goodies like HydrX Pro waterproofing and Advanced Climate Management Technology. This means you’ll have the best waterproofing to keep you dry, and the best thermal system to work with your body’s natural heat regulation. So, no matter what the weather is doing, you’ll be dry and comfortable. The one notable absence from this jacket is FXR’s Flotation Assistant Technology. If you ride frequently on frozen lakes or rivers, it is worth considering something with safety features for potential falls through the ice, like the FXR Adrenaline Jacket.

The Backshift Pro will do a standout job at keeping you warm, as it features both an insulated liner and shell. This also makes it a highly versatile jacket. If you’re doing more relaxed trail riding in cold temperatures, then the double insulation will be handy. And, if you want to do some aggressive mountain riding, just remove the liner. This results in a highly flexible and breathable shell that will let your body expel heat while still keeping you warm.

The Backshift is also great at keeping powder out. The sleeve gaiters and powder belt ensure that the jacket forms a perfect, impenetrable fit with your body. Also, the Dry Vent technology allows cool air to enter the jacket while keeping snow and water out. This product was designed especially for snowmobilers, as the magnetic flaps illustrate. These make it very easy to use the jacket with gloves on.

Overall, the FXR Backshift Pro is a smart choice for any sledder. Specially designed to suit the snowmobiler’s needs, this jacket is versatile enough to be used on the trails, mountains, or around the city.
