The PW is a really nice insulated resort jacket that will hold it's own in tight trees. The exterior shell fabric is much more durable than other options out there. You won't feel like you have to go out of your way to find a clean line through the glades. There are tons of great pockets on this and like how there's media port through the front chest pocket. The only thing that I don't like about this jacket is that the hood seems hard to get the adjustment dialed in. I think since the hood is removable it detracts from the ease of adjustment.

Bought the Patagonia Insulated Powder Bowl Jacket for my Dad, he skies Timberline near PDX and needed an insulated jacket that would stand up to wet days on the hill. This jacket fit the bill perfectly. He was over the moon about fit and warmth. Big recommend here!

Take the teeth out of that biting cold. This jacket will keep you warm all day on the slopes.

This jacket was warm enough for a good day on the slopes but not overly warm. It was great for high output activities.

Definitely a great jacket. I use it for snowboarding in both warmer + cold locations (layer up) and it has held up substantially. Because of the armpit vents it makes it easy to wear this in much warmer weather. I was really surprised that in cold weather (sub 30 with only long sleeve under) I found myself sweating more than once. It’s fairly lightweight and doesn’t feel heavy on my shoulders. The only thing I will caution about is that these do run large. So size accordingly—especially if you want to layer up or if you like a more tightly fitted jacket.

I have worn Patagonia jackets for over two decades because I have always liked their quality, design, and practicality. I like this coat and it performs well in a multitude of conditions (wind, snow, rain). I have not tried it in a very cold situation and I suspect, I will need a layer under it when it is really cold. It stops the wind and rain very well and in the twenty degree temperatures has been great. My only complaints are the zippers, which seem cheap (but I will trust Patagonia that they are not) and the collar is very large and gets in the way of my face. Minor issues. I was recently skiing in Colorado with it and it was great.

I ski in this jacket almost every day and i absolutely love it! This jacket does run a little big but its nice on those colder days to have enough room to throw another layer on comfortably. There is nothing about this jacket that i don't love quite honestly

I wear this one all the time riding the lifts of CO ski areas. Very warm & protective. Does fit big, but I like the look. Kind of heavy too. Glad I got it. FYI, I do test some products for Gore, but only the ones I choose.

I love this jacket, but not the fit. I'm 6'1 and 210lbs with a 44" chest. Depending on the manufacturer, I either wear an L or XL in a ski jacket. I found that this jacket in a Large was too big and baggy for my taste. I actually bought it in a Medium and it fits perfect, especially if you like more of a tailored fit. The jacket is really well insulated so I don't need to layer under it with more than a long sleeve compression shirt and a tee. If I do, its too cold for me anyway and I'm staying in.

I bought this jacket to fill my soft goods mountain quiver. I have a number of top brand coats, mainly shells so I was looking for a jacket that is great on the mountain for those cold days. THIS JACKET IS ROOMY. I am 5'9" and weigh 190 lbs with an athletic build. I find that it does fit big and is heavier than I am used to however it is very warm and airy sitting on the chairlift in January and February. Skiing in the warm alpine (6-10 degrees C) is very comfortable wearing a light breathable single layer.

The 2 layer Gore-Tex is definitely softer than my 3 layer Gore-Tex shells so this jacket appears to be less technical and would not be my first choice if backcountry or slackcountry is your targeted venue. Overall I am pleased with this product

Love the coat, but I was expecting a more fitted style. I buy medium in everything but this medium fit really baggy. I'll be returning for a small. Like the dark charcoal color, makes it a little different than black but still neutral.

This jacket is really nice. Keeps you warm in cold conditions. A bit higher end than the patagonia snowshot. True to size

From the beasts of the easts to the giants of the west I have been skiing them all for the past 20+ years and have never came across a jacket as satisfying as the Patagonia Insulated Powder Bowl Jacket! Weather it be -25 without winchill or spring skiing out west I have put my powder bowl jacket to the test and time after time after time it prevails! Warm, comfortable, great fitting, reliable are all adjectives used to describe this jacket! I will use this jacket until it literally disintegrates, worth every penny you pay for it.
