Solid Jacket for the Cold Wife In Your Life!

I bought this jacket and the pants for my wife this christmas for a trip to Utah. My wife gets VERY cold, so much so that she informed me that last years trip was the last due to her being so cold!!!!!!
This jacket is very well made, the sleve gaiters work very well and has a pocket for ipod's, if your into that kind of thing. To get the best of the jacket you should by the pants as well, they provide 2 attachemnts for the snow skirt-press-stud and zipper. When the zipper is used the jacket becomes part of the pants.
On the first day of skiing my wife wore another primaloft under the coat, by the second day she was wearing 3 thermal tops and the jacket on its own.
The sizing is a little off and runs big. my wife is petite size but has swimmers shoulders. The jacket fits great if a little too long in the sleve. The pants are a little long but on skis its no issue.
Based on this buy, I would def. buy this brand again, well worth the cost.
