You cannot go wrong

By pau100241549 Ranked #2282 - Men's Technical Shells January 26, 2009

I am a believer in everything this site and company offers. I tried to go to a local vendor and they offered me numerous other jackets but said I would have to special order this and if I didn't like it too bad and pay 540.00 I took a chance and order this after talking to Spyder directly about what I wanted. I have a 45 inch chest with 30-31" waist and short arms. I hate that most insulated jackets make me feel like something out of a Christmas Story. This shell is warm.. I really cannot wear it very long indoors. It is so functional it is crazy and with my broad shoulders and chest...the stretch technology is awesome when you want to really reach out in dynamic fashion. There is a lot of detail you cannot see. The pockets and construction are so tough...I thought all my gadgets (iPhone with hardshell, ipod, wallet, goggles, money and other stuff would be bulky or not look smooth but this jacket just ate it up without so much as a bulge....how I do not know. This can work out on the town, in the true back country, or with the backpack compatibility for Alpine use easy. It is crazy hot and fully weatherproof with just one thin layer. In black it rivals any North Face Apex I have owned. You cannot go wrong with this purchase. Oh yeah, it arrived in less than 48 hours.
