My go to jacket for most days

June 6, 2009
I wear this most ski days, and only switch if the weather is really nasty, and I want something with a hood. I liked it so much I bought one for my wife as well, so she now rarely uses her MH hard shell.
It has a slim fit, so it won't take a lot of thick mid-layers, but it is warm enough by itself for many days, and a moderately thick mid-layer works well. (I have used a Patagonia down sweater to great effect.)
The only down side are the sleeve cuffs don't seal well, but that is not a problem with gauntleted gloves.
I haven't been in a down pour, but it works well in light rain and snow, and I have yet to get wet in it.
