I was really surprised by this jacket. I ordered it because I needed a black jacket which was waterproof, had a hood but also had multiple pockets. I found the spyder jacket and I have to say that even though it is not down it is very very warm. Wrist gaiters are a plus. Very light weight jacket and trust me I have worn it every day since I got it a couple of months ago and I have come across sharp objects and even weren't for hiking and skateboarding. I even fell a couple of times wearing this jacket and it must have a abrasion resistant type of material because nothing happened to it. Very pleased with itIt is very stylish as well, couldn't be happier.Great jacket for skiing and civvies. I was looking for a Spyder jacket that I can wear on and off the slopes, and this one fit the bill!! I usually wear a size 8-10 in tops and dresses. With Spyder, I need to size up to a 10.Fits great and is very warm. Worked well for skiing in 0-10 degree weather.I purchased this jacket. I followed Spyders size guide and bought the 4. I am 5'5 and 120lsbs. The jacket fit perfectly w layers. And is very warm. Very well made and super cute!I just LOVE that coat!!!Really comfortable and keeping you warm.Nice jacket. Feels warm and will get tested next weekend at Purgatory!
