Perfect lines...on the slopes and on the jacket

By Sonya Hirsch Ranked #142 - Women's Ski Jackets December 10, 2010

This is the absolute best winter/ski jacket I have ever owned. I recently purchased it and tried it out on the slopes at Breckenridge, CO and it is PERFECT.

The day started off at around 25 degrees and sunny at the base...and something closer to 20 degrees and snowing at the top. By noon, it was 20 degrees at the base, in the teens at the top, snowing and with wind gusts of up to 28mph. This jacket breathes SO well (and the underarm vents don't hurt its cause here) while also blocking literally ALL wind. While the friend I was with was cold, I was perfect. I didn't overheat and I didn't freeze...always a plus on both sides of the spectrum.

Some highlights:
The pockets - there are two hand pockets, a chest pocket (with a goggle cloth), a sleeve pocket (with a ski pass ring) and two pockets (with more pockets in them) on the inside.
The color - I got the glowstick color and it's so cool. It's not quite as yellow as Backcountry's product photo makes it seem...and it's also not as neon highlighter yellow as I feared it could have been. I love it.
The lines - For a ski jacket, this thing is incredibly slimming.
The fit - Pretty true to size...and nicely fitted to curves. I'm 5'6", 150 lbs (of muscle) and the size 10 fits perfectly.
