Ranked #528 - Men's Synthetic Insulation Jackets
November 12, 2007
After three years, this jacket has been tested in every possible winter condition and passed with flying colors. It is entirely waterproof, even against a hose. It is warm enough to spend a day and night sleeping out on the streets of New England in February (avoid that if you can).
For Jay Peak, it's the right jacket. For Utah on a very cold day, it's the right jacket. For operating a lift, it's a great jacket. If you are in awesome shape, and don't sweat while skiing/snowboarding this jacket is awesome with a teeshirt underneath it every day, mid-winter. You will be able to ride regardless of conditions.
For everyone else, it's too damn hot!
Seriously. This jacket is for when you are sitting on top of Denali, doing nothing. Kudos to the company for being able to create such a tool, it's truly amazing.
No powderskirt? what's up with that? I think you all really want to buy the Patriot SV, if only it came in black!
