Ok...got some issues here. Does this jacket really truly not have velcro wrist closures?!?!? What the hell? I have the Rime Pull-over jacket and its great other than the fact that it feels like the wrist opening is flapping around and letting all the damn cold air in. I really hope that the next version addresses this.Also, why no powerder skirt? Damn it...I could have used this to replace my Arc'Teryx Seeker comp if it had a powder skirt and velcro wrist closures.

My friend, I have used this jacket extensively as my primary ski jacket for the past month, and let me tell you: I have never had a problem with snow getting in, ever. The hem cinchcord works wonders, and with gauntlets gloves never seem to let snow or wind in. Even with under the cuff gloves, it works great for keeping the cold out. Seriously, for a lightweight, superbreathable and weather resistant softshell, this thing blows the Seeker comp away.
