His creations employ unusual fabrics like waterproof denim, corduroy and herringbone to express the lifestyle that rips through powder, pops a trick, or just hangs out and watches friends ride the pipe.

like everything except the fact that the liner comes out of the sleeves when you take the jacket off! The hat, the mirror & the pass pocket in the cuff are cool extras too.

i wore this jacket on a recent ski trip in temperature in the teens. jacket is roomy enough for extra layering. i did take a suggestion from another post and unzipped the liner from the jacket and zipped it as a separate layer. this worked really well.

Comments:
Overall, this is a nice coat. It keeps me warm down to 25 F, is waterproof and light. Midwest winter has already hit single digits and unfortunately, this coat is not for that with just the inner and outer liners. Also, the coat is somewhat difficult to put on and take off as the inner liner sleeves stretch out and bunch up. The next coat they make should have attachable sleeves and that should take care of that problem. Good things about the coat are that it doesn't get dirty easily and it's waterproof.

Comments:
I was stoked when the jacket arrived... Felt like great waterproof material that would most definitely do the job. The fleece liner felt rather thin, and the sleeves on it were super long. Other than that, the jacket itself felt like good quality. However, I can't say much more because I decided to send it back. I'm 6'1" 180lbs and I ordered the large, which turned out to be too long. I'm somewhat tall, but this jacket was cut waaaaaay too long for me. I'm thinking the medium might've been more appropriate. But hey, just throwing it out there. Enjoy the weather!

686 Ace Optical Snowboard Jacket - Waterproof (For Men)
 
The hood is the only reservation I have
By Biodoug from San Francisco, CA on 04/01/2008
Pros:
Breathable, Durable, Warm, Waterproof
Best Uses:
Casual Wear, Cold Weather, Wet Weather
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Comments:
Hood does not zip off or fold under, leaving it exposed to rain or snow if not being used. Wild interior pattern is OK, but is visible in hood and detracts from exterior appearance.This is not visible in pictures, which are misleading. Except for the hood, this would be a fantastic jacket

Great jacket, lots of pockets, works nicely with 686 pants, waterproof, looks good. I wouldn't wear the liner on its own, but thats because the xl lining is pretty big... I got a large because the specs matched my measurements; it ended up being too small in the chest but fine in the arms. (6'2" 210lbs)
