Great Shell From Columbia

First, the Compass Blue scores big points for steez. Got a Large for my 6'2", 195 lb. frame and the fit allows a MH Windstopper Tech for warmth when I need it, though I got it for spring skiing. The Omin-Tech isn't quite Gore-Tex Pro, but it looks and feels solid. No powder skirt, but for the larcenous price I got it for on SAC, who cares?
Only negative, the hood isn't helmet compatible, so wear a hat!
Nice work Columbia, while the finish detail isn't quite up to my Arc Sidewinder, it doesn't cost nearly as dearly!
I'll post a pic when I get the time.

UPDATE: Just got back from UT and skiing the backcountry. Jacket performed well. The blue does catch dirt though, but looks great. Also, very waterproof as I got to try it out when I got back to Florida. TOugher build than i originally thought, stacks up to GoreTex Pro. Zips have softened and the mesh pockets help this jacket to breathe.
