Review highlights

Reviews

Nice fit, nice features

"Material is thick and sturdy feeling, yet flexible. Sealed seams, lots of pockets good pockets. Great length - hits me right at the hips. Love the blue color. Size was comparable to all my other ski gear. Zipper is a little difficult to zip up at the neck. Wore a Smartwool long underwear top and a Cotopaxi fleece under it on a cold day in the teens and was nice and toasty."

— Jennifer T. (4/5)

Love it

"Really light and comfy, I wear it for work (patrol) and backcountry days. I will say it runs a bit big as I'm not an xs in anything else except this jacket. I'm 5'4", 140 lbs and usually a small."

— Emily B. (5/5)

Great jacket

"Fits well and is lightweight enough. I like the elastic inside pocket on both sides."

— Scarlett M. (5/5)

Poor fit for small women

"I bought this two years ago for a backcountry trip to Japan. Once it's on I like the jacket overall. It's bombproof but various fit items are almost a deal breaker. I didn't have time to return it and find an alternate so here I am. The hood is ginormous-it's sized for a large man's basketball head with a huge helmet. So it can't be worn without a helmet and sometimes I want the hood up. It's way too long so it comes down past my hips and I can barely zip it. I have to snap the powder skirt to bring it snug enough to zip and pull it up to my waist and then there's all this extra fabric around my torso. I am 5'0 120# and I bought the XS. Anything larger would be crazy on me. It feels like it's a man's cut with no consideration I might have hips. Sleeves are way too long but that's par for the course for me."

— Sandie (4/5)

Great Fit

"It has been a light snow year so far but this jacket has been great for a mix of warm sunny days, cold mornings and heavy wind. It seems to be a great all around jacket! looking forward to that big powder day."

— Andrew M. (5/5)

Excellent product

"I’ve used this shell on back country days, and mountaineering. It’s flexible and wind proofing keeps you dry and warm!"

— Hannah P. (5/5)

I love it!

"Colors are so nice, it fits great. I am a M usually and I got this jacket in M, fits perfect. I layer it with a fleece and such and still feels roomy, and not tight."

— Lavinia B. (5/5)

A shell I like wearing!

"I have trouble with waterproof ski shells bc I hate feeling like I’m wearing a trash bag. This shell has nice fabric that moves well and has some stretch to it, so I actually like wearing it! I haven’t had much of a chance to test out its waterproof-ness (come on Ullr!) but the breathability seems good for a shell."

— Brenda C. (5/5)

I like the women's fit.

"I like the women's fit. Nice design- great pockets and has recco. The hood is roomy for the helmet but tucks down when not needed. Excellent jacket."

— Katherine Z. (5/5)

Great ski jacket

"I’m 5’7”, 140lbs and got the large. It is an oversized fit but leaves plenty of room for layering during a cold resort ski day. It’s a perfect and quality ski jacket."

— Erin A. (5/5)
