"Super quality and good fit, next time I'll go with the straight zipper"

On about day 20 and love the quality and fit of this as a shell. Perfect for powder days and layering. I only had two issues: The inner and outside pockets are both stacked on the left side which is also the side I wear my beacon on so it starts to get crowded and bulky on that side while skiing. Also I have mixed feelings on the sidewinder zipper at the neck. If I had to buy again I would just go with a straight zipper. If you want to leave the neck slightly unzipped on a warm day it felt like the extra fabric the one side was flapping around a bit and I didn't really see much real benefit zipped up to the side.
Absolutely loved my old Sidewinder SV - a great coat all around and very durable. The only reason I didn't give it a "Love It" is because it just wasn't long enough. The Theta solved this problem.
