Ranked #499 - Men's Down Jackets
August 30, 2011
This thing is the best! Whether you're wearing it around town at night, or slaying sick lines, you've gotta have this jacket. This is one of the few down jackets out there that actually has some waterproofing to it from the factory. Cloudveil makes high quality stuff, and knows how to make products to brave the elements. This jacket is a perfect example. Lots of pockets, powder skirt, goose down, pit-zips just in case, a higher collar to duck into on those cold windy days. I did a lot of tree skiing on a cold day last year wearing this jacket. I was nervous and thought that there would be cuts and scrapes, because the fabric on down jackets is usually fragile. Despite clipping plenty of branches, there wasn't a scratch or cut on it. This jacket is awesome. I'm 5'8", 160 lbs. and the medium works perfectly for me.
