Everything I wanted...pretty much

I have been wanting this jacket for nearly a year, and I just got one! It is now my primary ski jacket and have used it several times already.
Pros (IMO):
-Awesome goretex, including tapped seams (even in sloshy, wet snow I was dry underneath)
-Great length and fits a slender form
-Hood is helmet compatible
-Large pockets (bigger than you would think for this coat)
-Powder skirt and pit zips
-All around quality (of course! It's Arcteryx!)
Cons:
-Cuffs are smaller than I was hoping. I'm not able to fit them over my gloves. Gloves must go over cuffs.
-On chilly days, it is hard to fit my face underneath my coat when I zip it all the way up.
Other than those things this is an awesome coat that I would definitely recommend. I plan on using it for backcountry travel as well. I imagine I'll have no problem fitting my beacon along with all my layers under the jacket.
