The good people at Gore-Tex dun gone and done it again. If you buy the accompanying pants you can zip these together for a full waterproof suit, with powder skirt, very Nice. The Baggy look is good but I'm not sure why they would want the sleeve so long. Overall great jacket esp. with the pant combo looks great, I got the stone. But here is the rub... the hood has no drawstring closure and is no where near big enough for a helmet, everyone wears a helmet anymore. This should only be annoying when on lift and the wind is whipping, otherwise who uses the hood, but still, who at Burton was on a 'smoke break' before designing the hood. Boo. Great deal from Backcountry!
