I love that this jacket can double as my ski coat and rain coat. There is an interior pocket for a water bottle, and I didn't realize how much I would love this feature when skiing. I have not yet found the need to wear an interior jacket, as my layers have kept me plenty warm. At first, I didn't like the bright blue (basin blue), as I was expecting more of a navy, but it has grown on me, and now I really like the color. Overall awesome jacket.
