You hop out of bed, and all you see is white. The powder will be epic, and it's guaranteed to be wet and cold. Better slip on the Spyder Men's Alpen Jacket. The 20K waterproof breathable fabric blocks snow, and the Primaflex fabric technology adds a four-way stretch to this jacket. So, you can stay dry all winter without feeling like you're wearing a stiff tarp. Light insulation lines the body and sleeves of the Alpen Jacket, and with its removable heavy weather hood, waterproof zippers, and zip-out powder skirt, this ski jacket thrives in snowy, cold conditions. When the morning storm gives way, and the sun hits the mountain, unzip the underarm ventilation zippers, tuck your hood in the back pocket, and stuff your goggles in the internal mesh goggle pocket.
Bottom Line: Wet winter storms won't hold you back when you're wearing Spyder's waterproof, insulated Alpen Jacket.

Hands down the best jacket out there

As usual, I was a bit concerned paying this much for a jacket. It is more than most of its other competitors...ok, don't kid yourself, there is no other competitor...lol
I spent a lot of time researching jackets and I know a lot of people are into the 3 layer system, but I don't really like wearing three layers all the time. I don't care how it fits it's still going to bunch up at times.
This jacket allows me to go with only two layers (my base layer and this). Of course I vary the thickness of my baselayer, but that's all Ive had to do. This jacket is very warm. It never bunched up and performed extremely well, never felt any wind through it, and it is extremely waterproof.
I bought the white, because I don't like wearing red (too close to ski patrol and also reminds me too much of blood), and didn't want to buy black being that my Spyder Davos pants are black so I ended up with white. I was concerned about keeping it clean (which since it is white, its going to get dirty)...but more importantly I was concerned about people being able to see me in the snow and in whiteouts. I got my answer last week in Vail. I was skiing with a friend during a total whiteout in Vail, and he mentioned that he liked my jacket, and I told him my concern about wearing white during "whiteouts"....his response: "Thats funny, cuz your jacket is so much whiter than the snow, I can pick you out better than any other color out on the mountain!!"
So much for my concern of blending in with the snow!
Change me.
