Gear Review
Tough as Granite, if you will.

Ranked #1206 - Men's Ski Jackets
February 10, 2010
This jacket took me through wet midwest snowfalls with ease, Tree skiing in Steamboat and many scenarios in between. It has never been too warm, but has kept me toasty in the teens with just a baselayer and a T-shirt. I got the dusty green color which isn't available anymore but it looks fantastic. The fit is a little baggy for my tastes, but looks great regardless. The zippers appear to be watertight, which makes them harder to open and can be a pain when your fingers are cold. the hood is a little on the large side if your not wearing a helmet, but I always wear a brain bucket so it doesn't matter. I have been flying down runs (As at Wilmot you don't exactly need to control your speed) and have not felt a wisp of wind. Bottom line, Great jacket for skiing, riding. Will handle all old man winter can throw at you.
