Sessions Works Jacket - Men's
Putting in WORK!

F-yeah! I love the Sessions Work Jacket. I love it so much, I bought a second one.
Seriously.
I had the... 2007? model Work Jacket in traffic-cone orange, and I put about 120 days on it. It worked well, looked great, and was tough as hell. But then I saw this year's Work Jacket in "Kiwi" and I had to have it.
They've improved the little details that bugged me on the old Work Jacket. The sleeve openings are a little bigger, so they now fit a wider range of glove cuffs. Snow ninjas rejoice: The neck opening is also a little bigger, so it's a more relaxed fit when you've got it zipped up all the way and your ninja mask and helmet strap are in there. The zipper pulls are now leather instead of nylon. (I had one of the nylon pulls break on my old Work jacket.) The jacket interior setup is a little cleaner for my Ipod, too. The old style had 90,000 pockets in there, which was a mess.
PS. My old Work Jacket is still going strong and will get some time this season, I just really needed this green one especially considering they've improved the cut as I've described.

And I'll answer your next question before you even had to ask. How sick is this? *So sick.*

Well Andrew, I'm glad you asked. You came to the right place. It is not insulated. It is a shell. It seals out the snow very well, which I think makes a huge difference in keeping me dry (because I go big and crash a lot.) But it is not insulated like a puffy jacket. You'll be fine wearing 1 or 2 base layers underneath it.
