Cloudveil RPK Jacket - Women's - 2009 BCS

I got this after a very cold/wet ski season in the Alps last year. I had decent skiwear, but the weather was brutal and I needed something more. I did a lot of research before buying and I am very pleased with my purchase. I have worn my RPK hiking and it is absolutely waterproof and breathable. It is kind of "basic" (in terms of looks) but has everything you need in terms of technical features and durability. The size is exactly as expected, with some room for layering underneath. Good hood, don't know of it fits over the helmet yet. Color is beautiful, I got the nightshade and it is pretty much as pictured. I hope the new Cloudveil owners keep up the quality of the brand.

Absolutely love this jacket. The sizing is true, the green color is beautiful and it's fairly warm and very breathable. This jacket kept me dry and warm on a super-wet day on the slopes. Highly recommend the RPK!

I love this jacket. The softshell gore-tex is amazing. The fit is very flattering and is true to size. If you buy the blue, the color is a little more turquoise than in the photo. At this point I can not tell you any more as I had to return the jacket because it is supposed to be a Christmas present... will review more later,when I get it?!!? but I hope this helps a little, I have owned a lot of Cloudveil and love it all.

Cloudveil has delivered another first rate ski parka. love the fabric, great fit, and the meadow green color, is beautiful!

I ordered this and the Arcteryx Scarabee at the same time. Same fabric and similar look, and I couldn't decide online which I'd prefer. I ended up keeping the RPK. For a $100 less it just seemed like better value for money. I liked the contrast zipper of the Scarabee, but really they are so similar that I didn't think it was worth the extra money. Nice darting and good articulation. Like the body mapping on inside for warmth in the right places. Awesome jacket.
