I have been looking at winter ski jackets for a long time now. TNF - Vortex, Marmot - West Face, Columbia - Titanium, Patagonia - Powder and this one. After visiting REI and trying them on, I got this one. This coat has pit vents, lots of pockets, great powder skirt, nice detachable hood, and the possibility of zipping in a liner with wrist sleeve clips. This jacket helped keep the wind out in -10 deg weather in Breck. This jacket also folds up small. I was able to pack it and store into half of the size of the hood, great for back packing. For layers, I wore a Smartwool Microweight NTS Zip-T, REI microfleece, TNF Denali Fleece Vest, and this jacket. Plenty warm. I would recommend this jacket to anyone.. I am 5'11", 210 lbs w/ 52 in chest. I got the the XL because the Large was too tight in the chest.
