A bit more jacket than shell. By Tom the Mountain Photographer/Skier from Vail, CO on 02/14/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Durable, Warm, Waterproof Cons: Heavier then a shell Best Uses: Cold Weather, Hiking and Camping, 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: I am 6ft and 200lbs and the large is perfect. Plenty of room for a base layer and fleece. The only draw back is that this jacket is a bit heavier than a light shell. If your skinning up you are going to be hot. On a clear day you will be able to pack it away and pull it off for a comfortable descent, but may be too much heat for climbing/skinning/cardio acitivity. It is a very nice jacket and would recommend it to a friend.
By Alan from TN on 02/02/2009 Pros: Comfortable, GREAT LOOKING, Lightweight, Lots of pockets Best Uses: Casual Wear, Hiking and Camping, Sking, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Some zippers are small in size in order to keep water out, rather than using a storm flap. This makes them harder to close, particularly 1-handed.
By liv2ski from Mammoth on 06/10/2008 Pros: Breathable, Durable, Lightweight, Waterproof Cons: Inadequate Protection Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Looks great, very functional construction. Pricey for the lack of insulation, as it is a shell, not a jacket. I have long arms and the sleeves are perfect. Zips up over my chin for the cold days. I like, just expensive, but what I wanted.
Good Looks and Warmth Without Bulk By Bill from Richmond, VA on 03/30/2008 Pros: Breathable, Durable, Lightweight, Warm, Waterproof Best Uses: Casual Wear, Cold Weather, Extreme Conditions, Hiking and Camping, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Great Ski Jacket that is sized right to wear alone or with layers when the weather gets cold. Perfect coverage and comfortable in neck area. Would like to see better zippers on side vests. Since jacket breathes well, I Do not use vents often, but the zippers are a little tricky to open and close. Other zippers on jacket are great.
Great shell with poor zippers By skiier from pennsylvania on 03/20/2008 Best Uses: Extreme Conditions, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Jacket is good design with lots of storage and pockets. The price [...]is great relative to list, but the problem is zippers - All of the zippers work rough. The side vent zippers jambed after about four or five uses. I cannot get them to work and will be sending the jacket for repair. Not good for an expensive name-brand coat.
