The jacket is nice, but the video on the product listing is incorrect. This is not like the 3-in-1 jacket, as the video shoes. There are unfortunately a lot of differences between the two, but overall the jacket is a nice jacket. I'm just disappointed that at this price, it doesn't have the same features advertised.
I love this jacket ( white and green camo), I use it to ski in. The only thing I would say is to size up. I got a small, which would fit me, but with the layers I should've gotten a medium or large so it doesn't feel too tight or constrained when moving around. It's not the warmest jacket, but it does the trick for me. I don't seem barely anyone else with this jacket, which I love. I also think the pockets are great and there are enough for anything I need to bring on the mountain.
I love this jacket!! There are plenty of handy pockets. I took it to Park City when temps were in the mid teens and it kept me warm, but is not too hot on a nice bluebird day either :)
Warm and not too bulky. Good for snowboarding but runs a little small
Great jacket. Really like how it fits. Tons of features that makes it super versatile when snowboarding.
Very functional snow jacket. Plenty of pockets. Warm and dry. Perfect for skiing long day outside.
love this jacket, fits nice, much room for layers if needed still warm on its on as well.
Bought this jacket for my whole family. Great fit, stylish and warm!
It didn’t fit properly and wasn’t sure it would be warm.
