The last insultated jacket I buy

By Backcountry.com Vendor Rep Ranked #127 - Men's Ski Jackets December 28, 2010

So this review is for the 2011 Flow FX. First impression, love the denim feel/look (currently have the Absynthe color). This is also a heavy jacket coming in at a hair over 4 lbs., but the plush Polartec interior will leave you forgetting that. Second impression, DEEP pockets all around. The Flow FX has two large chest pockets with seamless zippers that are actually a bit hidden for a lack of a better description. The two hand pockets are also voluminous, and Westcomb designed a sleek look with the addition of a single snap button to keep the pockets more streamlined. Back to the interior - again, plush is how to best word the feel of the material. You definitely sense right away that you get what you pay for. This is a very warm but also very breathable jacket as eVent is superior to anything out there right now. Pit zips are long and again, seamless and waterproof. I'm 5'10", 180 lbs and the large fits roomy but not excessively baggy. I probably could have fit into a medium but opted for a more freeride look. Overall, I'm very impressed by the warmth, feel, durability, breathability, and waterproofing of the Flow FX.
