Oakley En Bleiler Jacket - Women's

Gretchen Bleiler’s concerns for the environment and her love of ballz-out snowboarding combine to form the Oakley Women’s En Bleiler Jacket. The four-time Winter X Games snowboard champion made sure her signature loose-fit jacket uses earth-friendly Eco Storm fabric and has fully taped seams so you can ride through the winter wet without getting soaked. Critically placed fleece backing and light Thinsulate insulation provides warmth where you need it while Underarm zips dump heat when you attack the park. A removable pow skirt, hood, and wrist gaiters block snow all season long.

Bottom Line: Shred like the Bleiler.

She loves it

By:
August 17, 2009

I bought this jacket for my girlfriend, and although I agree with Matilda that the magnetic "buttons" may prove problematic in use, my girlfriend loves the jacket and says that the buttons aren't a problem. Hopefully she still feels that way after extended use of the jacket.

Barring the possibility of rising irritation level regarding the magnetic buttons, the zip-off hood, hand snow skirts (called "hand-panties" in Matilda's review, a term I like), material, feel, color--all are great features. It looks great on the wearer, and when I put it on just to see how it fit/felt, I was really impressed, even though it's much too small for me to do anything active in it. The "critically placed fleece" mentioned in the product description is pretty cool too--they didn't add any extra material here, only a couple of small sections to match up where your body loses the most heat, thus keeping the bulk and weight of the jacket down while providing the extra insulation that makes this jacket just one step above a shell. Very impressed, overall, and if this jacket came in a men's version, I'd probably buy it for myself.

It really comes down to your tolerance of cold, this is slightly insulated so it may or may not keep you warm depending on your tolerance and where you are skiing.

Not really stoked

By:
February 20, 2009

I love the fabric; lightweight and supple...and the color--I love the green. I was especially excited that it was recycled. But that's as far as it goes. As soon as I unzipped it out of the bag I knew the magnets were going to be a problem. They snap together w/ super force--what a pain. The hood is lame---zip off which is not indicated in the description and there is no weight to the brim. And the hand-panties are lame too--only one layer of fabric w/ no heat seal. They will pull and run in no time.
I'm sending it back.

Actually, the description states: "A removable pow skirt, hood, and wrist gaiters block snow all season long." Granted, the adjective "removable" could be taken to only modify the noun "pow skirt," but removable hoods are typical enough that I was expecting both the pow skirt and hood to be removable, and they are.

sickkk jacket!

By:
February 20, 2009

I bought this jacket for park skiing in Whistler this season and its perfect! Light and just enough warmth for the sunny days without having to take your jacket off and ski in a jersey. Also, its cute without being "ski bunny," baggy enough to be legit and you can layer the sh** out of it in the cold cold weather. Also its a really sick green color, not pastel like in the photos. If youre looking for something fitted and super girly this is not the jacket for you, but otherwise GET IT!
