Mountain Hardwear Escape Jacket - Men's
March 17, 2009
Yes it is. I have a pair of BD Glidelite skins and they fit. There's a resulting buldge, but I suppose it's better than frozen skins. I haven't had to use it for this purpose yet, but it's good to know it's there.

Mountain Hardwear Escape Jacket - Men's
February 21, 2009
29 inches I want to say, much more coverage than the synchro which I have as well. I think both would suit you well for both the mountain and the town. The deciding factor for you would be whether to go with the Escape's Gore-Tex or the Exposure II's Conduit, MH's proprietary laminate, and personal choice like colors, etc...

Mountain Hardwear Torsion Glove

It totally depends on what your activity is. These are softshells for your hands and while they're awesome at what they do, they have their limitations. Just like how there are times when a puffy down jacket is more appropriate than a softshell. If you're sitting at Lambeau Field drinking a cold beer and eating a block of cheddar, you might want to upgrade. But, if you're doing anything where the blood is flowing, these will be what you want.
