"Designed with hard-riding free skiers in mind, the Patagonia Men's Primo Jacket has all the features you need to take on burly lines in tough condisions. Its waterproof breathable polyester shell provides the weather protection to ride anything from mid-winter fluff to late-season slush as well as the durability to last through nasty crashes. Pitzips help you stay cool on the approach, and an integrated powder skirt keeps the snow out on the way down. The Patagonia Primo Jacket also includes an internal skin pocket for backcountry use and a MP3 pocket to hold the tunes that help you stay motivated."

"I work on the ski patrol in the winter. I have used the Primo Jacket for three winters and am lost without it. I am planning to buy another one for my off duty skiing. This jacket is a real best buy, it is tough, looks good, and wears great."

"As a professional skier I must count on my gear. I wore my Primo Jacket and Primo Pants yesterday in -10 conditions. With my layers under them I was warm as toast. Wind doesn't bother me a bit. They wear well and I love them enough that I just bought another color set today. Enjoy the snow!;-)"

"This is the second review I make about this gear, as I promised, because I managed to use it snowboarding on Dolomiti Mountains the last three months.

I can't rate it 3 stars because the Primo is a really good ski-jacket (it has powder-skirt). Comfortable, strong with reinforces on shoulders and bottom, great hood, warm neck, and typicall Patagonia finishes."

"My jacket was purchased at the Patagonia outlet in Reno and is the previous version of the Primo Jacket. I skied with it last month at a resort overlooking Lake Tahoe on a day when it was blowing and snowing hard, no one else was on the slope. We stopped at the top overlooking the lake before skiing downslope."

"Let's start. I'm Italian and I paid this jacket a lot: 300 euros (391 dollars) on sale, from 399 euros of the bill (520 dollars) -- our customers are totally crazy and thieves!!!. So, I paid it more than how much Patagonia makes it cost (350 dollars) on its on-line shop."

"This jacket is awesome! I bought it to go on a winter backpacking trip, but I ended up wearing it as a main winter coat. No wind or water will get through it! It is very warm as well."
