Cloudveil Zero-G Jacket - Men's
All-around category winner

Ranked #1204 - Men's Ski Jackets
December 29, 2008
I reach for this jacket the most for both cold work days or a day on the slopes. It has a low-key appearance, tough and waterproof soft-shell exterior, low-loft insulation that's warm without being puffy, and no useless gimmicks. I like it more than the insulated hard shell Arc'teryx Fission, which seems delicate in comparison. The Cloudveil is more like a high-tech Carhartt in both durability and styling, which is why I like it so much. You'll find better dedicated skiing jackets with stuff like powder skirts and pit zips, but for all-around versatility the Zero G is the best in its class.

They must've added them to the newer Zero Gs, I can assure you my '08 has neither. Good for them for evolving an already very good jacket.

This is a ski/ride specific jacket, and it has both pitzips and a powder skirt. The pit zips have mesh over the opening and the powder skirt is removable...
