Best Jacket!!

March 5, 2009
I've worked in the industry for over 10 years now and this is my favorite jacket EVER! I've had one for a few years in the orca color (old school) and the light color gets mucky a bit fast in the backcountry boarding and backpacking so I'm contemplating buying a second one in a dark color and up a size so I can take it on colder trips and include extra layers. I know...it's super expensive but...worth it believe it or not. Awesome tapered fit. Good pocket location. Awesome fleece lined in the sleeves, hard if not impossible to find in other brands. Super clean lines. No swishing noise. Good hood fit. I probably have 40-50 fleece/insulation jackets and only 2 hard shells, I'm super picky when it comes to shells and this one of those 2 shells. I work for another high end manufacturer and would pick this jacket over any other jacket out there!!! Love it!
