Lives up to it's reputation By rfskier from Ohio on 12/23/2008 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Durable, Lightweight, Warm, Windproof Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I have skied in this jacket in 19F, with two technical base layers and one fleece shirt, and it is plenty warm. With more layering, I believe thatit will be warm to 0 degrees or lower.
It is definitely wind and water resistant, as described. It has quilted insulation lining.
The zippers and closures are high quality.
I am a size 41, right betweeen a Med & Large.
I bought the Large, and it is the right choice, as it allows for multiple layering to suit variable conditions without being baggy or constricting. It is trim and fits well.
The hood fits over a helmet, which is not described in any of the online descriptions.
While it may not be suited for extremely frigid conditions,I plan for this to be my number one go to jacket for Jackson Hole this year.
Great for town and slopes By Schmidtikins from Spokane, WA on 12/14/2008 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Durable, Warm, Waterproof Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Great jacket that works as well in town as it does on the slope. It is understated but a full technical jacket. It's great to buy one jacket for both. I get a lot of wear out of it. Only cons are the hood, which is a bit bulky and the lining feels a bit cheap for clouveil. Also the jacket would be a bit warm for spring skiing. But it's perfect for cold and wet.
could be the perfect ski jacket By Jerry Garcia from Standing on the Moon on 12/01/2008 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, quality, Understated looks, Warm Cons: Season pass not included Best Uses: Cold Weather, Skiing/Snowboarding Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Great jacket. On warmer days were a thin base layer and add a mid for colder days. Insulation is not bulky, but warm and cut allows for comfortable layering. Well built and repels water with ease in light rain\snow(not out in anything wetter yet). I like the zip powder skirt and hood. Plenty of pockets, and two hand pockets outside jacket have magnetic closures. I also have the Cloudveil RPK jacket and I find the zero G more comfortable, breathable, flexable (stretchy) and versital, but probably not as waterproof, due to the Gore tex RPK. Both are wicked jackets! Not your jacket if you are looking for the athletic fit.
By Brown4505 from Bellingham, WA on 11/07/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Stylish, Warm Best Uses: Cold Weather, Skiing/Snowboarding, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This jacket is awesome. Super waterproof. For those of us in the NW we need something for the rain, and for the snow, in the winter. You could go swimming and stay dry...from the waist up. This jacket is uber waterproof, super warm, and extremely functional. Loads of pockets, iPod case/pocket thing is great, and fits nicely. Not to mention, you look like a stud in it.
