Tested this jacket out on the slopes last weekend, and it is AWESOME! I can't say enough positive things! Great value for the money, and has way more features than my other name brand jacket that I spent way more money on! Tons of awesome pockets inside and out, The sleeves have a sewn in spandex cuff with a thumb hole, basically creates a seal when you have gloves on, and keeps the sleeves from getting pushed up, I loved that!! The powder skirt has loops that snap around the belt loops on your pants, and keeps the skirt in place and doesn't ride up. I wiped out pretty good in powder throughout the day, and nothing got through. The powder skit also zips out if you want to wear it without. The weather was all over the place; cold and sunny in the morning, warm at midday and blizzard in the afternoon. This jacket stood up to it all. The zippered vents kept me cool, and otherwise this is a very warm jacket, and waterproof. Love the reinforced shoulders, elbows and hood. Very well constructed, and thought out jacket, and did I mention stylish!? Highly recommend!!!
