Salomon Snowtrip II Jacket - Men's - 2008 BCS

I've picked up the original snowtrip jacket last summer, and it was my go-to jacket all winter long. Living in northern Wisconsin gets pretty cold, yet with a couple good layers underneath this jacket held up to the coldest days on the hills. The lowest temp I've taken it out in has been -36 F without windchill. It has been waterproof as far as I have taken it, from snow boarding to biking to class in the rain. I am 6'1" and 165, and the cut is perfect with a large but the shoulder width is a bit tight. I only give it a 4/5 because it's not the warmest jacket I own (which goes to the North Face Plasma Thermal), and it's a little heavy if you are going to do anything technical with it. For around town and on the slopes though it's been a great jacket.

I switched from Helly Hansen this season to Salomon, and I really notice the difference. Salomon is known for their edge on quality and their clothing is no exception. The Snowtrip keeps you warm dry and ready to attack any thing on those minus degree temperature days and gets rid of the heat on those sunny groomer days... All around GREAT! 3 coats in 1...

Picked up one of these jacket real cheap. This is not one of the nicest jackets i've ever owned but not one of the worst jackets i've owned. I mostly wear the jacket with the liner around town and to class during the winter months. With the liner in the jacket is extremely warm. It has kept me warm walking to class(1 mile) in 0-10 degree weather. As far as waterproofness this thing has not failed on me yet.

This jacket is rated 10K for waterproofing and breathabilty. It's kept me warm in temperatures near zero and kept me dry in fairly heavy rain. I like the fit a lot as well.
