Great jacket

By Ned July 17, 2007

This is a great jacket for fair weather ski days. It blocks the wind well, and is waterproof enough for moderate rain or snow. I did wear this in snowstorms with just a base layer and light fleece, and never got cold. It's really comfortable, easy to move around in, and great for those days on the tram. It's definitely a resort jacket though, as it's missing a lot of the features that the more technical backcountry jackets offer. The jacket could use a inside pocket or two, as well as a powder skirt. There are not any vents with this jacket, so if you overheat a lot, your going to have to keep unzipping the jacket. I found that the jacket fit on the small size, and I ended up buying a large after trying on the medium. (5'7, 150lbs) What I like the best about the jacket, is if I snag a tree branch while skiing, the jacket doesn't tear or rip.
Basically, it's a functional, moderately priced, and simple jacket that is nice to have around as a alternative to the more traditional ski jacket.
I would buy it again or recommend it
