Armada Inverse Jacket - Men's - 2009 BCS

Just got back from a ski trip to japan and this jacket was awesome.. kept the elements out and looks hell steezy.. Did well when teamed with a pair of thermals and a tshirt in white out conditions and just needed a tshirt under it for the bluebird days.. I digged the headphone hole in one the pockets.. only thing it needed was a pass holder on the arm to make scanning the pass easier.. but apart from that small niggle, i couldn't fault it..

This jacket is awesome! Great powder skirt and thumbloop wrist covers keep the snow out (needed a snorkel yesterday), and it breathes better than my Goretex gear - I'm now an eVent convert. The hood works great with my helmet, not too tight to turn my head, but tight enough to keep chill out on windy ridges. The best part about this jacket is how bomber it is. If you know Vail, you know the good stuff is in the trees, if you can handle it. This jacket has been beaten to hell by branches and doesn't show a scratch. It's built to last and can take some serious punishment, including full on branch-busting adventures in search of the goods. I got the magenta, and it's allowed my buddies to easily find me in the trees.

Just picked this thing up... holy shit. I got the black/white, with the black Quasar pants, and it and it looks fresh as... well, you know. Sweet pow skirt, snaps to keep your pants from sagging to much, amazing fabric, and extremely high quality craftmanship (read: it looks flawless) from a first year outerwear company is pretty damn cool. Hopefully I'll get some pics up when the pow starts to pile up.

I was at Mammoth in a full-on rain storm and was the only one out of all my friends that stayed totally dry, I love this Jacket! It really performs and holds up well. I hiked in it to the top of Mt. Whitney, it breathes extremely well, and weathered the 18" of slushy snow no problem.
