My doubts were blown away with the Mammoth Mtn. Winds

This is the best jacket I’ve worn in 35+ years of downhill skiing - Great for cold & windy weather! I bought mine on sale last fall and had doubts about it – it felt too lightweight to keep me warm. But last week I finally got up to Mammoth for four days of pre-Holiday (crowdless) skiing and tested it out. Ended up wearing it every day. The temperatures ranged from 0-15F with some heavy high winds. I wore a very lightweight poly-pro T-shirt and my lightest fleece under it and stayed toasty. The insulating material works wonderfully and this jacket truly is completely windproof! The built in hood works great with or without a helmet. I am 6’2”, 215lbs, 51 years old. Fit is great, doesn’t constrict, great pocket & zipper design. My friends were totally jealous and kept wanting to try it on cause they were freezing their tails off. We went into the lodge so they could warm up and I kept it on – it was so light and comfortable, I just unzipped it and stayed nice & cozy. This jacket rocks!
