White Sierra Predator Ski Jacket - Waterproof (For Men)

Nice!

This is an excellent waterproof jacket. I am a big, active guy who spends time outdoors in all sorts of weather. It has all the features I want: breathable, detachable hood, pit zips for ventilation, good pocket size and placement, snow skirt, quality zippers and seams, classic look and fit. The sleeve length is complete for my long arms, the shoulders and chest fit very well and the jacket "moves" well. My only caution would be in the waist: if you're carrying too much "storage" around your middle, the fit could be snug. The jacket is made for athletic activity, it's not a big tent. It works very well with layering to suitable for any temperature conditions. I'm also a retired Navy guy, and this jacket would be perfectly suitable for a stormy day on the waterfront. For looks, it has classic color and design for outdoor wear. I don't need any crazy patterns or pop-culture/hip-hop styling. I wanted a quality, functional, reliable jacket. This one does it. Last, and most important with Sierra Trading Post, the Predator Ski Jacket was also an OUTSTANDING value. I've seen retail jackets like this for hundreds of dollars. I've seen junk-quality jackets more expensive than this. I highly recommend the White Sierra Predator ski jacket for anybody who wants a water-proof, versatile, reliable, no-nonsense jacket. I give this a solid five stars for it's value and function.

I have only used it twice since getting it and love it so far. It looks good, I like the zip off hood (I wear a helmet), and appreciate 5! pockets. Sizing for me is a challenge as I am between M and L. I went with a M and am able to wear a full set of layers with only minor constriction (next to skin PolyPro, Expedition PolyPro, vest, and fleece), one layer less is roomy. Hand pockets zip up to close which feels backwards to me. Main zip started feeling sticky and hard to get started; I HOPE this does not get worse! I got mine on big sale and got a good value for the price.

Really good value for the price.

This is a great replacement for a Helly Hansen coat that finally died. It's nothing to make friends envious, but it is completely practical for Snowshoeing and easier skiing. It is well built, and has pockets where you'd expect them. Great coat for the price...

We live where its gets very cold in the winter. In oder to enjoy outdoor sports you must be properly dressed. This coat was just what I needed to get out and cross-country ski!!

I wear it skiing and it is warm and dry. Nice roomy collar to tuck down into and the hood is large enough for a helmet.

This is a beautifully cut jacket - a splendid choice for even a tall woman like myself who, for cold weather living, insists on a jacket longer than the waist-length cuts that women's jackets typically have. I even have narrow shoulders and a small chest, yet the small men's size has such smooth lines that the jacket does not look wrong when I wear it. I have not had it long enough to comment on how waterproof or durable it is, but it has many good features built into it, and the dark taupe is a sufficiently elegant color that the jacket could even be worn with dark slacks and low heels. For a number of winter uses, Just a terrific purchase.

May need additional liner for very cold weather. But it seems good jacket for price and good for skiing/snowboarding.

I plan to use it as a shell over my fleece and base layers. It's longer than most shells, so it should keep my buns drier on a lift when it's snowy or icy.
