BackCountry description of Trigger Jacket lacking

Special Blend "Trigger" Insulated Jacket (Men's) ---
All in all this is a terrific jacket for my teen son, but it shouldn't cost more than a similar "Coco" Jacket by FourSquare! When I compare the 2 jackets FourSquare has a better snow-skirt design. The Special Blend "Trigger" Jacket has a lot of bulky snaps holding the skirt so there is almost no way to adjust it. Some snaps must be refastened in front whenever you want to shut out the weather. Pain in the @$$! BackCountry could have mentioned the snaps in their description, but they opted for "Surprise!" over detailed accuracy.
The FourSquare "Coco" Jacket has a neat, smooth, hidden draw string that allows for maximum adjustment & comfort. The snow-skirt on the FourSquare Jacket is in place and ready to go forever after the initial out-of-the-box adjustments. Fabulous!
Also, this sounds trivial, but the lining in the hood of the Special Blend Trigger Jacket is a loud, bold, very obnoxious, attention-getting black & white design that was not shown on BackCountry's photos and was not mentioned at all in their description. As a consumer buying through the internet --
I HATE surprises!
Thankfully my son is "cool" with the loud graphic now, but I would not have bought the jacket if I had known about it while shopping.
Dear BackCountry: The descriptions of your gear are helpful, insightful and even fun, but as a buyer, I would trade all your clever writing for more descriptive accuracy and full-disclosure!
