The North Face Unity Suit - Men's
Hot Suit

Ranked #238 - Men's Jackets

I picked one of these up on sale for deep powder days, so it's not my go to daily skiwear. It is waterproof and great for the powder though. Another thing about this suit, it is hot! Most of the time I ski with just a t-shirt and shorts on under it. If I were going out in some really cold weather, I would grab this suit. On the flip side, the venting on this suit works pretty well at shedding heat when it's opened up. And I love the billion pockets that it has.
Like many have said, the crotch on this suit does hand low. It falls midway between the knees and my crotch, so I guess I can't really be throwing any old school spread eagles in it. Also, the hood doesn't fit over a helmet, which is a major bummer for me. I'm 6' 175lb and the medium fits pretty well.
I wouldn't pay full price for it, but at 65% off this is a great deal.
