How are there absolutely no reviews of this coat on the interweb? Can someone at backcountry tell me anything about it? Are the colors true to the picture? Does the coat feel well made? Anything would be appreciated...

Hey Sam, The color is close, but it is a bit brighter in person. The green is not bright neon green like some other jackets you'll find this year, check out the belltown pant on Ride's site to see the difference. http://ridesnowboards.com/outerwear/belltown-pant The quality is great, Ride has there outerwear dialed in and most of what they are doing in their mid level product was in their high end CAPPEL outerwear last year. So quality wise, this $230 jacket has the tech and quality in it that $400 CAPPEL jackets had last season. You're not going to get wet as the 15K waterproof rating will keep water out and you won't sweat to death as the 10K breathability pulls it away from your body. One of my favorite features is how ride does the venting now... they don't just put them in your armpit area... it's a dumb place to put them as your arms are down most of the time. So the vents wrap around to your back and you can actually expel your excess heat when you are too warm. The fit is baggy... I'm 6'2" and have a 45 inch chest, 33 sleeve length, 36 inch waist... I can wear the Large. If you have any other questions post them up or feel free to email me at MrTidbit@backcountry.com and I'll be happy to help you out.
