Ranked #2394 - Men's Ski Jackets
January 16, 2008
I have only skied twice in this jacket and it has already shown itself to be the best jacket. First time it was raining and everyone else in the group was wet and cold. Not me. The water was still beading off. The second time the temperature was quite warm, but the huge pit vents kept me cool and dry while others had to go back to their cars to remove a layer. The power skirt also works, not there just for show. I'm 5'9", 170lb and the medium fit best. As for looks well, I got many compliments from several people about the jacket. It is quite an athletic fitted jacket. Note that the fireweed color is more like a fire truck red. Believe the hype, Arcteryx jackets are as good as people say.
