EXCELLENT FUNCTIONAL DOWN JACKET

By Stephen Koch Ranked #2683 - Men's Down Jackets October 10, 2008

I used this jacket while riding the "Village" (Jackson Hole) and up on Glory Bowl all last winter. It is very warm, has a great powder skirt (removable), nice hood (removable) that cinches down nicely without a helmet (don't know how it fits with a helmet), relatively long sleeves and fits really well in the body for a very comfortable feel. I like that there are two pockets, an inner and outer, on the left side of the jacket (accessible with right hand) for keeping spare goggles, glasses, phone or anything else you want easy access to. The pit zips work well but I don't use them often. If I am that warm, I have the jacket opened or off and the only time that happens is while hiking or on the Gondola (soon to be TRAM AGAIN!!!). It has good draw strings at the waist to keep the cold and snow out. Good hand warming pockets and yet another pocket (located on the inside right front of jacket (accessed with left hand) that holds a bottle of schnapps very well. One other thing...there is access for a headphone wire to go through from inner pocket to head so you can rock out and be warm at the same time! The Wind Stopper material is very wind proof (hence the name, eh?) and has a really nice hand. I like the clean cut and solid color of the jacket as well. Great for ripping down mountains and wear it right into the Mangy Moose for an apres beer.
