“Extremely warm and lightweight”

“This jacket is as about as warm as a nice dawn coat, yet its not too puffy so to make you look fat. In fact, its hard to believe how warm it is given its relative thinness and light weight for its purpose as a ski jacket. The windproof material feels tough and is good at shedding water as well as wind, but its also soft and doesn't make unwanted rubbing noises. All the sewing and small details look top notch, and I especially like the material around the sleeves that seals out cold air around my wrists without having a velcro tab to fool around with - something you have to appreciate when wearing gloves. I pretty much only use it for skiing, for which it is just about perfect. I do tend to overheat sometimes when its not extremely cold, and have to zip down the front to vent, so I'm not sure it'd be good for highly aerobic pursuits like backcountry skiing, unless its frigid. But, overall, it was an excellent buy, no regrets at all.”
