Cute jacket, not warm enough
January 31, 2012
I wanted to love this jacket, but unfortunately I didn't find it warm enough for a snowy day on the slopes. It fits a little larger, which I actually like, but here were the other things that made me decided not to keep it: The inner jacket doesn't actually zip in to the outer shell - I wasn't crazy about this design, I have a Columbia 4 in 1 and the inner liner zips in, making it a well insulated jacket. Velcro everywhere. There are a ton of great pockets, but unfortunately they are all velcro, except for the two hip pockets. This was really a pain when I was wearing glove liners, since they would stick to everything if I needed to retrieve my chapstick or adjust the volume on my ipod. The jacket did seem water proof, had a helmet adjustment, and powder skirt and was overall really cute - but it wasn't quite warm enough and I had to really layer up underneath (3 shirts!). I also wish it had wrist gaiters, the wrists were really large which is good to get around your gloves, but also manages to let a lot of cold air and snow in too.
