Not that this is your "everyday" jacket, but this is the jacket I wear every day. I don't ski anymore or do any winter sports besides beerpong and the occasional mtb ride when the ice lets up, but this jacket is sweet. My criteria were that my jacket be windproof(wasn't worried too much about waterproof), not ride up when I lift my arms, cover my bum(which climbing jackets do nicely) and be light so I don't feel like I'm toting a monkey on my back. This jacket fit all the criteria and looks good in a subdued way to boot! The only thing I would like on the jacket are watertight zips, but since it isn't a waterproof jacket perhaps thats asking too much. All in all a great jacket through 2 years of use! I'm 5'10" 175 lbs and bought the large, could've done with a M, but like the room for a heavy under layer.

Great jacket, very warm, great fit. I use this jacket for skiing, i wish i had vents and a powder skirt but the jacket is so warm and comfy i can get by without them.

This is the greatest insulated layer jacket I have ever owned. I used this jacet on Mt Baker a few weeks ago in high winds and 25deg temperatures and it performed Perfectly. It truly is a windstopper and even though they don't claim it to be waterproof after several hours of heavy rain it stayed nice and dry. The hood is perfect for wearing with a helmet although a bit big otherwise. My only gripe is there are no pit zips. This jacket gets hot even in cold temps and it would be nice to have some vents.

Excellent coat, fits well, toasty warm and not bulky at all. Now I have to buy one for my wife because we are fighting over the climate control in our vehical because I'm to hot.
