Used it for the first time last weekend in A-Basin. It was snowing non stop and windy both days. Stayed warm and dry this thing can really cut the wind. Fit is slightly boxy/baggy wish I would have tried a small, but was worried about having enough room in the chest and shoulders. The new FUTURELIGHT material is going to be the new standard. Much softer, more flexible, lighter, and more breathable than any gore-tex I have used. Stayed the perfect temp without shedding layers when hiking too the Zuma Cornice through some deeper snow.

The best jacket I have ever owned

First of all I would like to say that this is the best fitting outerwear I have ever owned. I purchased an A-Cad jacket and A- Cad pant in size small as well as Freethinker pant and jacket in size small. I am 5'8 1/2 and 152lbs. Its like this product is tailor-made to me. I usually struggle to find a good fit. The sleeves in most smalls are too short. These are perfect. The stretch in the fabric is amazing to wear. The breathability is truly amazing. Because this fabric has a lining laminated to the backside of the fabric I don't feel the cold air coming throuth the fabric as much as I do with the Freethinker pant and jacket which I also own. I am using the A-Cad as my resort wear and its a perfect blend of perfect fit, breathability, stretch fabric, and features. The hood works perfectly with my helmet. The jacket has tons of pockets. I only have a couple of complaints...I wish the gusset at the wrist was slightly larger so it would fit over more glove gauntlet styles. I have pretty low profile gloves and its still kind of tight. Not a deal killer but could be perfected. I wish the powder skirt zipped out or at least snapped out of the way. With the A-cad pant, there is zero need for the powder skirt and its just sort of in the way and hanging around. I am sure I will use this jacket at some point in combo with my Freethinker pants and then the powder skirt will be needed. I have about 10 days in the A-Cad kit so far and its been awesome for the resort. I have done a fair amount of sidecountry hiking and he futurelight breathability is legit. This stuff really does breath amazingly well. Its so much better than all the Gore-tex product I have had in the past.
