Straddles the Fence of Cute & Functional

Ranked #521 - Women's Ski Jackets
October 16, 2009
This jacket is so dang cute--I feel like a girl, despite the bulk of a 'winter ski jacket.' I dig all the functionality (pit zips, pockets, etc.) and the cool detail of the flap in the front. The color was a bit darker than the picture (I got the green/turquoise color), but pretty close to the same color. The fit is fairly tight -- if you are between sizes, go up. I am 5'2'' & 115 (34 inches around, up top). I bought the small and can fit some long underwear & a thin fleece under it...but not much else. The jacket is fairly short (falls about half-way down my rear-end) -- but the removable snow skirt helps when lifting up my arms.
Overall -- a great combo of cute & functional.

From the pictures of this coat i cant make out if that zipper goes all the way up the side....does the jacket fully unzip or is it just a pullover?
