The North Face Free Thinker Jacket - Men's
One of the best I've ever worn.

I wore this jacket for the 2005-06 ski season. I took it in some real tough places--backcountry at Teton Pass to downpour conditions at Killington. It always kept me dry and it breathed well. The powder skirt works okay--it has to be buttoned to your pants to work at all, otherwise it rides up on your stomach. Lots of pockets. The hood is too small to fit a helmet. My one gripe was that the Recco reflector just fell off one day in the backcountry. However, as a testament to North Face, they provided a full refund for the jacket. All in all, I would buy again.
