go for the brownie color

By Brig Ranked #4615 - Women's Down Jackets January 10, 2007

I got this gift for my wife for Christmas. We live in the Rockies and ski at Alta almost every weekend, so we don't need Gore-Tex or eVent or anything like that -- the snow is so light that you're not worried about waterproofing. But you definitely need something warm, and this jacket delivers. But I got the pink, and when it arrived it looked more "pepto bismol" pink than light pink. So I exchanged it for the brownie color and she loves it. She wears it often around town, which I think is key for any jacket like this -- you don't want it to be JUST utilitarian, because then you don't use it often enough. If you're doing dawn patrol tours in LCC a couple of times a week, use an eVent shell or some other layerable jacket. But if you just want to wear a heater while you're lapping the Supreme lift, you'll be very happy in this.
