Worked with Tanner and Oakley designers on this one for the Pro Rider Series, a small collection 100% influenced by a small group of riders. Obviously this a High Performance piece. 3 Layer eVent material, rivals Gore in breathability, waterproofness and wind resistant. My favorite part of the jacket is the offset 2 way front zipper. Being on the side of the face leaves a nice and smooth chin area. Plenty of pockets, the cargos above the waist have snaps for quick and easy access for your camera or whatever else you need quickly, thats where I like to put mine. Nice venting, a small one under the arm is kinda hidden but helps for more air flow or air escape when main vents are open.

This jacket is a blend between Mountaineering and Park. So its a loose fit shell with lots of features. We wanted to keep a stylish look, not fitted. Another nice feature is the powder shirt, there is a zipper on the bottom edge so you can zip it to the waist line of the Alps pant and a few others in the Oakley line, thus making a one piece for those deep powder days or times your sending it and may possibly Tomahawk. Its a bit tricky to use at first but after some use you'll figure out your system to do it up quickly. There are also snaps on the shirt so you can connect to more Oakley pants other than the Alps, and this is pretty easy after some practice.

I've been on many testing trips over the years and know the drill of what we can do to gear between athletes needs and retail needs. This is the best we've done to date. Stoked to have all the input used on this one.

The Oakley Alps jacket is one of the best of its kind. High performance and functionality combine together to make one great jacket. The 3L eVent material is extremely waterproof and high quality. Fully taped seams add to the great waterproofing. If it gets hot and steamy there is venting under arms and in front. On a cold day you will want to layer with this piece. Multiple pockets give you lots of storage for essentials or everyday items you take with you on the ski hill. The Alps Jacket is the top of the line. The Oakley and Seth Morrison/Tanner Hall collaboration produced one of the best jackets on the market.

Just got this jacket and it is has exceeded my expectations, the fabric is heavy duty and feels like it can take a few scratches from branches and bark. Lots of pockets. The hood is a little snug over my Smith Varient (low profile helmet) so I would not use it to ski but it will be fine on the chair lift. Cant find the bottle opener that is advertised. I am 5'11" 210 broad shouldered and the XL fits well over my XL softshell. If I wanted the helmet to fit under the hood to free ski I would try the XXL

I'm ready to spend a winter in this jacket. Oakley outerwear is actually really high quality. I ski daily in there stuff and it really holds up well. Zipper pulls are my only complaint. They are plastic and can break. Just be aware of that and you'll love their stuff. Anything 10K or high from them will keep you dry.*I'm inking out the rasta stripes.REGGAE IS FOR LISTENING NOT WEARING!!Tanner you're from Utah so rep some Bluegrass KID!
