Higgins...Yes Please!

By Ranked #435 - Men's Technical Shells December 31, 2010

I love this jacket. It's bright and steezy if you are into that, but more importantly it not only looks good but functions amazingly well. This is definitely the most I've ever spent on any piece of clothing, but I feel totally justified while lapping the lifts or skinning up a peak in the backcountry. The jacket breaths well and sheds water like it's it's job (because it is). The range of motion in the arms was well crafted, unlike many other "slim fit" shells that leave you wanting more space. Also, the cuffs fit well over gloves or under gauntlets, with velcro that is high quality, and not like the chincy stuff that Northface and Mountain Hardware use.

Most importantly in my case are the extremely well thought out and spaciously designed skin pockets! Yes! Thank you Flylow...I was just beginning to get extremely annoyed by my new BD Split Skins for icing over...that is until I got my higgins Jackets. Now my skins stay warm, dry, and ice free. Score!

Buy this jacket, shred the pow, stay warm and dry and do it again the next day. Did I mention I like this jacket?
