Here's what other sites are saying:
From Patagonia.com:
"When snow squeaks, you know it's cold out. This insulated coat combines the warmth for a good thaw with a highly breathable soft-shell fabric and durable, waterproof panels. Made from supple, 50-denier 100% polyester ripstop for decidedly breathable performance during high-output endeavors; a Deluge DWR (durable water repellent) finish blocks out wind and determined snow squalls. Tough 2-layer panels, made from 150-denier polyester (50% recycled) with a H2No waterproof/breathable barrier, beef up the shoulders, elbows and bottom hem to increase abrasion-resistance. A lightweight layer of compressible 150-g Thermogreen? polyester (90% recycled) insulation warms up predawn starts. Finer points include underarm venting, an easy-gliding liner (100% all-recycled polyester taffeta), a zip-off powder skirt with webbing loops that attach to any Patagonia Ski/Snowboard pants, removable hood with a single-hand adjustment, handwarmer pockets, a zippered chest pocket (holds an audio device) and two inside pockets."
From Backcountry.com:
"On nasty storm skiing days when the gapers are huddled in the lodge, you'll be shredding free refills in the Patagonia Men's Rubicon Rider Jacket. Made with weather-resistant softshell fabric and reinforced with waterproof breathable panels where you need them (shoulders, elbows, and bottom hem), this puffy ski jacket packs big warmth with just enough protection from the elements. The removable hood and powder skirt let you customize to the day's conditions, and the quilted design adds some style and keeps the Thermogreen synthetic insulation from shifting. The Rubicon Rider also features lower webbing loops that attach to any Patagonia ski pants."

From REI:
"For cold snow riding days, you'll appreciate the superior comfort and warmth of the soft-shell/hard-shell Patagonia Rubicon Rider insulated jacket. Ripstop polyester shell with Deluge® Durable Water Repellent treatment is soft, water resistant and highly breathable for backcountry adventures. All exterior zippers are treated with a Durable Water Repellent finish for water resistance and quick drying. Improved, 2-layer polyester waterproof panels on shoulders, elbows and hem resist abrasion and prevent wet-through. Insulated with mostly recycled polyester fiber insulation for lightweight, low-bulk warmth even when damp; 90% recycled. Smooth, mostly recycled polyester taffeta lining glides easily over layers and dries quickly when wet. Quilted construction reduces bulk and articulated sleeves increase mobility. Dual pit zippers help you stay comfortable by closing in warmth during rest breaks and releasing excess body heat during high activity. Removable, helmet-compatible hood with single-hand adjustment allows natural neck mobility and peripheral vision. Collar is lined with soft, brushed tricot to eliminate zipper rub and enhance comfort. Insulated handwarmer pockets are positioned so they won't interfere with pack straps or a harness. Features zippered chest electronics pocket, 1 internal zip stash pocket and 1 internal drop-in pocket. Zip-off powder skirt seals out snow and has webbing loops that connect to compatible ski and snowboard pants. Integrated drawcord and cordlocks at bottom hem help seal out the elements."

Women's Rubicon Rider Jacket

It is, first and foremost, a snowboarding jacket and in this arena it performs beautifully. The sleeve length is awesome for a tall girl and there is awesome freedom of motion without things riding up or bunching."
