Good waterproof casual jacket. Not made to be skied in or for other technical use.
Pros
- Waterproof
Cons
- Breathability
- Pockets are not lined
- Inner layer is small and outer layer is large
- No powder skirt
- Inner layer is not very warm
Product best for wearing as a casual jacket. Excellent waterproofing. Not very breathable, but does have pit zips to dump heat. Not good for layering as inner puffer jacket layer is tight fitting and outer shell layer is large.
Outer shell layer is too bulky and allows for gaps to form/puffs out around stomach. This made it ineffective for skiing in Maine. Insulation is not very good (I live in Maine with 30 to sub zero temps in winter). Outer shell is very durable.
I have a medium and I am 5'9" and 140 lbs.

Nice jacket. Perfect for western New York winters.
Pros
- Two nice coats
- Hood
Cons
- No powder skirt
- Seams should have strong thread
- Snaps should have stronger thread
- Hood should have drawstrings
I like the jacket but I wish it was a little heavier, but all in all it’s a pretty good jacket.
It is one of the better 3-in-1’s on the market.
Background
Intermediate skier
