Oakley Assault Jacket - Men's - 2008 BCS

I'm really stoked on this jacket. looks really great, has lots of pockets and is steezy as hell. the one downside is the size. I'm 6'3", 180 pounds, so i'm a tall and skinny guy. Got the XL cuz i wanted a baggy fit, and am pretty happy with it. Its long enough, and has really long sleeves. However, it is massively wide, definitely made for a much bigger (wide) guy than me. If i could do it again, i would get a L, just because the XL is soooooo roomy. But i'm fine repping it, just makes me look a lil more thug than i was going for.

Got this jacket in black and it goes with all my gear perfectly. I heard that Oakley's "regular fit" is a bit baggy so I sized down and it fits me perfectly. Despite what other people say about how the magnets are annoying, I think it's one of the best features. I guess it's kind of a love it or hate it type of thing? Anyway I like them cause it allows me not to have to zip up each time, I just throw the two sides of the jacket together and it snaps shut by itself. Also, the hood has a magnet so on jumps or bumpy terrain the hood doesn't annoyingly pop up. Oakley really puts a lot of though into their jackets and pants, I highly recommend them for any of your snowboard clothing gear.

Plenty of pockets for all your random crap, and plenty of vents to keep you at the perfect temperature when you're going down the slopes.

I wore this jacket on a two-day ski trip and it kept me really dry and warm. However, one of the zippers in the venting section got stuck on the mesh material there and the only way to get it unstuck was to rip part of the material -- very annoying since I now have a large hole in one of the venting sections.

The sizing is loose and relaxed. Also note that the jacket is fairly heavy due to all the zippers and magnets and the durable exterior material.

I just got the jacket and it's not just the body/chest that's big. The arms are really long too. I'm 6'3", 190 lbs and I got the large. It's not surprising that it is too big in the chest/body for me, but arm length in a shirt or jacket has never been an issue for me. These are the longest arms I've seen in a large shirt or jacket. Not surprisingly, the chest/body is too big on me too. The body length seems pretty normal.

The style and functionality of the jacket seem great and it looks great in the cactus (green) color.

I'll agree with the guy who said the liner jacket material sticks to other material and makes it hard to get on over long sleeves, but that's just a first impression, since I haven't even really worn the jacket yet.

I'll qualify my review by saying that I'm a 30 something skier who is not going for the loose/baggy look of most younger snowboarders.

Caught it on TD with the liner for around 90 bucks delivered. It's an amazing jacket at that price. Great fit. Cool Cactus color actually complements the unmatchable Volcom Trobson pants. I am super happy on this purchase and my friends are all in a jealous rage.

Bought it as a gift for my son and he's very happy with it.

Bought it from Backcounty. Perfect service! Fast delivery! The jacket is great. The best I ever had in my life. Warm and very well though through. The magnets are great, the collar is soft, several pockets and excellent fit. Didn't find any flaws yet.

I'm taking this jacket to Far East of Russia in March with really low temperatures and a lot of snow! And I'm quite confident that the jacket will do the job really well.

Thanks Oakley and Backcountry!
