DC Shoes Fuse Snowboard Jacket - Insulated (For Women)

I literally get complimented each day by random people about the style and colors of my coat, it's just the right size and the pockets and features are amazing! Thank you for the great deal!

I've been looking for a cute, inexpensive ski jacket for a long time. My top requirements were 1) High visibility colours (Sulpher Springs colorway is perfect, I love the yellowy-green/orange/fushia combo); 2) Covers my butt (I'm 5'9" and the XL is the perfect length in body, just covers my butt and the arms are a good length too); 3) Pit zips (check!); 4) Affordable (got this during a 40% off promotion, check!). The Fuse jacket is pretty lightweight and basic, which is fine for me as I'm used to layering under a shell anyway, so I have all the pieces I need to make this jacket work in very cold conditions. I would have preferred something with a higher waterproof rating, but at this price, I really can't complain and it will probably be fine on all but the wettest spring days. I would have liked wrist-gaiters too, but oh well. I'm a 40-something mom of teen boys and needed a jacket that was bright and fun without looking like something one of their friends would be wearing, so I was thrilled to find this coat in colours that I love and without any huge logos or other teeny-bopper styling. I'm thick through the middle so I sized up to an XL and the fit is really nice -- not too bulky, but enough room to layer underneath. I am in Ottawa, Canada, and we have cold winters here. I would not expect to wear this jacket on it's own for very cold weather, but for milder winter days it will be fine. My 4-star rating is based on getting a decent quality, nice-fitting jacket at a very low price; if I had paid anything close to the full retail price of $150 I would have given it only 3 stars at the most.
