“There are a few design flaws that make this jacket annoying. First of all, the velcro on the sleeves is this kind of mini-teeth velcro which doesn't work as well. If I try to keep the sleeves open with only the end of the velcro attached (if I am not trying to block wind getting into my sleeves) then it doesn't stay, flapping around, and will catch fabric by accident. Second, the way to adjust the hood size is a pain making it annoying to adjust for helmet and non-helmet use. I also wish there were more pockets. One day it was raining on the slopes and I got soaking wet. It isn't waterproof enough. Finally, it isn't as warm as I was expecting. I need to wear other layers with it in cold weather or I will freeze. There are warmer jackets with more insulation. In conclusion, it is a jacket that works for snowboarding where your body gets hot but if you try to wear it every day for general use you will get annoyed because of the problems I just mentioned. It is ok just for downhill sports.”
