Can it be confirmed that the hood is NOT helmet compatible? Also anyone know if there is a powder skirt and if its cut on the short or longer side?
Looks like a contender with the Mt. Harwear Hooded syncro which does have a skirt and helmet ok hood

Hey kbuzz. I've tried this bad boy on and the hood is a little small for use with a helmet. You'd be better off cramming the hood under your helmet. There is no powder skirt, and I found the jacket to be cut a little on the short side. It's a fantastic jacket, but it sounds to me like you're looking for a ski shell. This isn't really designed for skiing. Check out the MHW Kramer too. It's rad.
