This is a great jacket, ive used it in the snow for Over night trips in blizzards and it kept me dry and warm, love the big pockets for my gloves. Snow Shoeing and skiing, backpacking, wet and rainy trips, i highly recommend it, its very light weight and compresses well into your pack. A great product. By mountain hardwear yet again.

So far, I love it, but...

...I haven't worn it out in the elements yet. I was a little worried about the color, as I've never worn a color like this. Also, You never really know exactly what the color will look like when you receive it and have it in your hands. The color is great! In fact, it actually inspired me to go for the Arc'teryx Rush jacket in "Wildthang" color, not that the 2 colors are anywhere near the same, but I realized black, blue and red aren't the only colors I can wear in ski gear.. The jacket is very light and has a nice almost soft feel to it. It doesn't feel nearly as beefy as the Rush jacket, but then again, it's nowhere near the price tag of the Rush, either. It's very comfy. I'm around 260 and the XXL fits and feels great on me. I was also worried about the fact that's this is not a typical full zip jacket, but I actually like the 3/4 zip, as it gives the jacket a different look from the front. I plan to wear this on snowy or windy days when the temp is above 25. I may even wear it around town, as it really is a great looking jacket. Bottom line is I wouldn't pay $500+ for it, but at it's current price of $225, it's an absolute steal, in my opinion, and a welcome addition to my ski and winter clothing. I'm a big fan of Mountain Hardwear and this jacket does not dissapoint. I'll update this review after it gets some use in Breckenridge later this month.

Love the color and coat

The coat is awesome. I got medium and is to small for myself. I should have gotten the large. It does fit.

Great shell

This is a great piece of technical clothing. It’s a pull over without much give but the deep zipper line makes taking it on and off easy. I’m usually a large but went medium on a recommendation and it fits perfectly with a light layer underneath. Great construction as has always been my experience with MH products. I’d definitely buy this again. The icing on the cake was that it was a warrantee purchase from another product that had a zipper malfunction that couldn’t be fixed. Great company! Supports the people who support them!
