Salomon Miss Maya Short Version Jacket - Women's - 2005 BCS

I got the Miss Maya Short Jacket for an 'around town' down jacket. What I like about it: the design is feminine and the trim on the hood is just enough of a girly touch without crossing over into uber-Bogner. It's totally warm (I certainly wouldn't ski in it, but I'm sure some cold-prone women would) and the baffling cuts down on the Michelin Man effect that most down coats have. The colors are a little strange--I was sent the 'cane' on accident first which was an off-white with a grey micro-grid pattern on it. I liked it, but I shy away from light colored jackets (dirttttty). So I got the Artist Grey which I had originally ordered and it really is a deep purple. There's nothing 'grey' about it. The service was awesome. This site sent me a shipping label right away for the mis-ship and had the original order to me in 2 days. And everyone I talked to was more than nice and extremely helpful. That kind of service will send me back to this site in the future.

Oh my, oh my, oh my, is this a great coat! I got this sweet layer during a -20F early February ski trip in Jackson Hole. I have proceeded to wear it every ski day until the 10th of March. It keeps me warm, is quite waterproof (multiple testings in Wasatch storms), and I LOVE the fit. I got the Artist Gray. Ladies, it isn't REALLY gray, more like a Smokey Grape. I will enjoy this jacket for many years.
