I actually bought this jacket on another site, then my father recommended this site. I paid [$] for mine. I wish I knew this site existed at the time. I could have saved myself a lot of money. I love that the pass is in the cuff and I don't have to dig when asked at the lift. I am not a fan of the mirror on the other cuff- Pretty useless. Zippers are good quality and the drawstring in the hood has come in handy on a really windy day. The wind gusting off Lake Superior can be pretty harsh.

Bought this for my son's first season of snowboarding. He loves it and says he got a bunch of compliments on it when he wore it to school. The color is a nice deep purple. He's wearing it for snowboarding today so I'm not sure about the functionality just yet but it appears to be top quality and is well designed with lots of fun storage pockets.

No
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Seemed to be a good jacket except for the sizing. I returned it because the medium was tight across the shoulders but the waist/trunk still was properly spacious. If you have narrow shoulders but otherwise normal proportions this should fit. The cuffs and and waistline were stretch-rib-knit, which may absorb some water but would also interface with gloves better than loose bunchy cuffs. They added some style. The armpit vents were tacked about every 2 inches instead of a zipper which I think is a good idea to save weight and not have zipper creep.
