"Warm feature filled jacket that looks good and performs better."  11/17/11

Pros: I took this jacket out to the mountain with high hopes and it lived up to them. It looks great and kept me warm through a full day of snowboarding. The pockets are great and very secure. The inner pockets work great for electronics like a phone or camera and keep everything dry and protected. The pass pocket on the front is very convenient.Cons: The hood cinching elastic broke when I tried to pull on it the first time. Upon further examination I realized I was using it wrong though. To cinch the hood be sure to only pull from the hood down and not the other way or else you may snap the anchor point of the elastic. Despite this break it was an easy fix and a lesson learned.
