I've used these boots for about half the season now and I have no major complaints. They are MUCH better than my old boots because they actually fit my narrow feet! The width is perfect if you have narrow feet. It probably helps that this is only the 2nd ski boot I have ever owned and I did some research regarding proper boot fit this time. I also got the Inuition heat-moldable liners and custom foot-beds which really helps. They don't seem that stiff too me which I actually prefer, but again, I don't have much experience with other boots. I also mostly ski in 'soft' mode rather than 'hard' mode, which makes a difference. I got a fantastic deal which made it even that much better.

Love the shell. Very wind resistant, I've been blasted with some major gusts of wind and they did not penetrate the shell at all. I do not find the underarm zips to be bulky as other owners have complained. I am 6'4", 200 lbs. and I usually have problems with sleeve and/or body length. The large fits me well. I wouldn't go with an XL unless you are really big. I bought this as a ski jacket and have only used it for that. So for mostly on-piste, but it seems pretty sturdy so I expect it to hold up for off-piste jaunts. Remember, this is a SHELL. It does not provide warmth, you need base and mid layers for that.

At first I thought it was a fine fleece and I still think it's OK I guess. Things that annoy me: not as warm as I thought and it's a pain to take on and off. It seems to statically stick to everything I wear under it. Since I bike to work, this is what I wear when I go out of the office for lunch and it's a pain to take on/off with a long-sleeved dress shirt. It's even a bit hard with my thin wool base-layer. I can hear the stitching stretching and tearing now and then when I struggle to get it off. It needs to be either a full zip or different material on the inside sleeves to make it easier to get on and off. I'd give it a 2.5 out of 5 if there were half star ratings, but I give it a 2 since there's not and too many people have given it 5 stars. Need a reality check here for the price. :-)

I haven't used it much yet, but it seems OK for the job. One of the reasons I haven't used it that much is that it turned out to be a bit short for me. I am 6'4" and based on research, I bought the large. If you're tall like me, you definitely want to go with the XL (I normally would, but thought this one would be longer). I push up the sleeves and for the cold climbing gym I got to, it's a nice base-layer. It doesn't seem super warm however, compared to my wool base-layer, but it gets the job done.

Warm and comfortable. I'm 6'4", 200 lbs. and went with the XL. The length is great but a little loose in the waist, which I prefer. You've got the elastic straps and loops for a belt if you need it so no problems there. The pockets are great, plenty of space to put your stuff. I ordered all new ski wear this season and this is one of the items I'm most pleased with.

The shell is great, comes up fairly high on the wrist. As others have mentioned, for cold, cold weather though, you want to get a better liner. Most of the time they are fine, but on cold days and/or night skiing when the temps drop, these will not hold up. Decent for the price I suppose.

Great base-layer, I use it for cycling and skiing. I'm 6'4", 195 lbs., with especially long arms, but the Large fit fine. It's just a tad short in the arms (but longer than I expected) and nice and long through the mid-sections so it tucks in nicely. As others have posted, it doesn't get stanky at all. I've worn it 15-20 times now, have yet to wash it, and I can't smell a thing, nothing. Zipper is nice too. I only have a couple of minor complaints. 1) occasionally it feels slightly itchy, usually when I stop doing whatever I'm doing. I'm sensitive to other wool products, but this is not that bad at all. Once you generate a little perspiration, it seems to go away. 2) for a "mid-weight" layer, I thought it would be a bit thicker/warmer. These are minor complaints though as it's not that itchy and it is warm enough as a base-layer. Just make sure you have a nice warm mid-layer for skiing on those really cold days. These two minor complaints kept me from giving it 5 stars, but all in all, highly recommended.
