Snow skirt would be amazing. Zipper closure on the wrists would be heavenly. Have LOVED zipper wrists ever since I first tried them on a few holden jackets I own. I would say a very basic mp3 routing system would be ok, certainly not necessary. More colors. Most of all though I would like to seem some zipper wrists, or at the very least, something to keep snow out. A snow skirt would be really nice, but I understand why a good amount of people would skip it.

Second for the following: Thumbloops or velcro closure (slight preference towards a low bulk thumbloop like what I have seen on Beyond jackets because it works better with gloves that don't have a gauntlet on them); personally I don't want a snow skirt - keep the weight down on the jacket. The mp3 routing is a nice-to-have, but wouldn't impact my buying decision one way or the other. I do second the option for other colors. Personally I'd love to see this in a green color like what is used on the Koven Plus, or gold color like the Sidewinder AR jacket.

In terms of weight, I think its just perfect. It breathes well and serves as a great all around shell down to the low 20s. The wrist closures are a must (preferably thumbholes, perhaps where the black fabric is on the wrists). Personally, I dont think a snow skirt is necessary, but perhaps a slightly larger MP3 pocket (maybe even one routing loop near the left hood cinch) to better accommodate an iPhone/iPod and headphone cords. More color options would be great. Like a Red and Black, and then a Red/Black combo like what you did with the Tahoe/Carbon materials. Rocky Mountain Goat: I would love to see velcro wrist closures and maybe another interior pocket. I like the idea of a powder skirt to keep out the cold white stuff when snowboarding but I'm concerned about the weight. This would have been a must buy for me if it had wrist closures. Also, I vote against the thumb loops...its great on mid or base layer items but I hate them for outerwear and shells...more of a pain and limited functionality for outerwear.Zippers that are the same color as the fabric (i.e. NOT white), and more color options for the jacket itself, solid one colorMajor changes to wish for: get rid of the double zipper (or go with one that works) and either provide velcro closures or an inner gaiter for the wrist openings. Minor changes: more color choices (dark navy, dark gray or black would be nice) and embroidered logos. These changes would make this the perfect hooded softie in my opinion.
