nope, no pit zips. I've used this jacket for 4 months now, likely 20 plus days of skiing and other outdoor activities. With the thin micro fleece backing I initially found that I was over dressing (and therefore overheating) for backcountry skiing. It took me a couple of times to figure out the right type of layering so that I could wear this jacket comfortably. If its super cold, I wear a long sleeve zip neck base layer. If it's going to be normal temps to warm, I wear a short sleeve 1/4 zip tech tee. I've really liked how durable it is and it's been great wearing around town but when it came to the overheating during heavy use it just took time to get it dialed. Hope that helps.
