Nice, but baggy fit

Venom Godfather Jacket - Men's

Venom Godfather Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 April 20, 2009

This is a really nice snow-specific jacket, especially for the price. Agree with Matthew that the color is even nicer in person than pictured (though the spider logo on mine was orange, not blue). Really like the zippered compartment for hiding the powder skirt when not in use (the skirt stays attached but disappears into the lining very cleanly). I returned this jacket mostly due to the style of fit - really just personal preference. I'm 6-3, 172lbs and the body of the medium in this jacket was about the same as the large size Venom/Spyder Glacial (which I kept), but the sleeves were too short for me - not too surprising since I usually wear a 36" shirt sleeve, but it made the wrist gaiters unusable for me.

Nice, but question the hide-a-hood design

Outdoor Research Elusive Jacket - Men's

Outdoor Research Elusive Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 April 20, 2009

This is a really nicely constructed, versatile softshell jacket that seems to be a perfect weight for a wide range of conditions. The exterior fabric seems tough, but not too stiff. The interior of the main body is a light, brushed tricot - enough to take away the cold, clammy feel of a typical hardshell, but not really enough to provide much warmth - with a thicker (think TNF Apex Bionic) fleece backing on the top of the shoulders and midback. The medium size fit my 6'-3", 172lb frame just about perfectly. My only gripe is in the design of the hood attachment. It's not clear from the description, but the hood can be rolled up and stashed in the collar of the jacket. While it's nice to get the hood out of the way when not needed (yet still be available in case of a shower) it does reduce the flexibility of the collar when the hood is stashed, and leaves the bottom half of the zipper exposed at the base of the hood when the hood is in use. A completely fixed, or completely removable, hood would make this a nearly perfect jacket.
