Norrøna Lofoten Gore-Tex Performance Shell Insulated Jacket - Men's
Worth every penny

LOVE this jacket. Was going to buy the Lofoten shell (w/out the insulation), but didn't have my size, so went with the insulated and GLAD I did. The jacket is warm, but not stifling, I ski with a t-shirt underneath when the temp is in the 20's and am warm but not hot.
Jacket has all sort of amazing features, from the removable powder skirt, to the goggle cloth that is attached inside the chest pocket, to the wire-rimmed hood that doesn't flop around and fits great around a helmet, wrist gaiters, BIG pit-zips to dump heat really quick. I'm 6'2" 165lbs and the Large fits me really well.
The fit is a little looser, not that euro-techy super-tight style, so it goes well with my baggy-ish ski pants...This is easily the best jacket I've ever owned.
