damn near perfect

Ranked #2584 - Men's Ski Jackets
February 12, 2008
Warm beyond anything I'd expect from a shell and keeps me totally dry. Zippers stiff after a year but you know they won't break! Only problem...the white color won't clean. After a few tree runs and brush-ups, it's become stylishly gray...oh well, matches my hair. Normally one layer underneath is enough...very cold days get two. Great coat. Can't remember the price a year later.
