"Best Jacket Ever! (With a Few Exceptions)" - Review of 686 Smarty Maven Jacket - Women's

The 686 Smarty Maven Jacket is awesome. I got the one in gray and I look wicked in it. I love the school-girl type plaid that the gray version comes in, and the overall jacket design is really really cool. The inner lining is really cool looking too. I love that it has a bunch of pockets everywhere, clips on the snow skirt that attach to your pants -- the jacket even has a mirror pocket on the right sleeve. Overall, I've stayed super dry wearing this jacket. This jacket could easily be my #1 favorite jacket EVER with the following exceptions: 1) The lining in my right sleeve came defective. The seams were coming apart when I received the jacket in the mail. I have to look into the warranty on it. 2) The outer jacket material is really rough and scratchy. Most boarding/skiing jackets have that rubbery/shininess to it that you'd except of any jacket... But the Smarty Maven looks like the texture of wool but feels even rougher, like a brillo pad if it touches your face. Oh well. 3) The medium I bought is slightly larger than normal medium sizes. It sorta makes my belly look poofy. Oh well. Other than all that... I still think this is the coolest looking jacket I own! I get tons of compliments on it. Can't wait to sport it around again next season.
