Oakley En Bleiler Jacket - Women's
Not really stoked

I love the fabric; lightweight and supple...and the color--I love the green. I was especially excited that it was recycled. But that's as far as it goes. As soon as I unzipped it out of the bag I knew the magnets were going to be a problem. They snap together w/ super force--what a pain. The hood is lame---zip off which is not indicated in the description and there is no weight to the brim. And the hand-panties are lame too--only one layer of fabric w/ no heat seal. They will pull and run in no time.
I'm sending it back.

Actually, the description states: "A removable pow skirt, hood, and wrist gaiters block snow all season long." Granted, the adjective "removable" could be taken to only modify the noun "pow skirt," but removable hoods are typical enough that I was expecting both the pow skirt and hood to be removable, and they are.
