Patagonia Powder Bowl Jacket - Men's
Tougher than me
By Kretzky
Ranked #475 - Men's Ski Jackets
August 6, 2009
This jacket replaced my Descente jacket that had seen some very rugged use over the past 5 years. I spend tons of time skiing the trees on the east coast and catch/block a lot of small branches with my arms. So snags and rips were definitely a concern for me. This jacket lived up to the hype. It also survived some spectacular crash landings on east coast ice. This jacket held up extremely well through a very wet spring snowstorm out in Tahoe while keeping me dry as a bone. Yeah - this jacket is tougher than me.
Sizing - I'm 6' 175lbs and the Medium is perfect. I would definitely say it's an athletic cut though.
