DC Helix Insulated Jacket - Men's - 2009 BCS

Got this jacket off WM for a great price and I'm loving it! I agree that the main zipper should be 2-way, but otherwise it's been great so far. I hit the slopes with it and was surprised by how warm it is. I wore a long sleeve merino base layer and the vents zipped half up in 30 degree weather and felt great. At night I just zipped the vents up and was still good in my base layer, with no wind. I'm 5'9, 155 lbs and the Small fits me great.

Complemented by array of accessible & deep pockets That allow easy access and keep Your devices from freezing up cause your body heat transfer into the pockets. Wrist gaiters are a blessing. Vents are placed at breast height and descend diagnolly into your back so conditioning yourself happen fast when you want it with keep out the elements zippers when you don't.
Thus far my only grippe is the main Zipper wich should of been a 2 way kind, if you had to pee hanging upside down ! This Jacket is going to be one 4 ski jackets in my closet & it is the least restrictive & offers ease of entry & eagress. Velcro instead magnet snaps will prolong it's Life, reason why I had to get a new jacket

I picked up the lapis color and I love it! I've gotten so many compliments on the color it's ridiculous. On this jacket there are so many accessories. There are too many pockets to count, there's an ipod pocket on the outside of the jacket (the pocket's usually on the inside) so you don't have to open your jacket to access your music, plus there's a hole for the cable to run on the inside of the jacket. It has a powder skirt, zip vents for cooling, season pass holder, a detachable ski mask next to the hood, and more. It's very warm and gets the job done.

The only negative is the season pass holder. The pass isn't totally visible so you might have to take it out to show some liftys. Other than that I love it.
