Arc'teryx Alpha SV Jacket - Men's
So far so good

I only have two ski days in this so far but both days it was dumping and windy as a mother. I was dry and because the jacket is so adjustable I didn't have any snow get under it even in Utah powder crashes. My favorite part about this jacket is the hood, it's adjustable in 4 different areas so I was able to get it exactly how I wanted it, even in gloves. It also has a mini powder skirt/waist cinch that I found helpful in keeping the powder out. And FYI it was made in Canada. I'm 5-10 165, got the medium and it fits like a glove with plenty of room for layering. I got the Titanium color and am very pleased with the look of this jacket as well.
