Outdoor Research  Snowcrew Insulated Anorak - Women's

The other review is weird so I had to leave an additional review. This jacket is an Anorak jacket, which does mean that it is a pullover jacket. It does have a zipper on the right side of the jacket to allow easy put on or removal. It does in fact have a helmet hood, but compared to other jackets I have owned, it is not overly large. The jacket has a regular fit, not boxy, allowing necessary movement which in my opinion is great. It may not be great if you want a jacket to hug your curves. Jacket is warm and insulated. Has three pockets. It has a powder skirt as well. My only beef is there is no place for an RFID card on the sleeve.

I purchased this during the 'friends and family' event for a friend whose home was one of the many lost during our Jasper AB wildfire tragedy in July 2024. She was able to get on the mountain over Christmas and the anorak was "just perfect!" which is saying a lot as she was helmet to ski tips working out how all of her new gear was feeling. "The side zips make it easy to don and doff. For colder days I will wear an extra underlayer and for spring it'll be ideal over one thermal layer. I love the fit, the length of the body and sleeves and the handy pockets. If I could add anything, an arm pocket for my pass, but the chest pocket is also the right height for the scanner so I'm all-around very happy. And it looks freaking awesome on!" Thank-you OR for the special events when we may shop for our special people.

I am a plus size skier and this coat was amazing. It fit over my hips. It was stylish and warm. The pocket help my ski pass and I had not issue accessing the lift. I received many comments on this coat. I am hooked on this brand! Ya'll know how to make a plus size active girl feel great!

While checking tickets, a lift operator complimented my new OR anorak and bib ensemble! She mentioned how she liked the color combination and how it coordinated with my complexion. It made my day that much better.

I absloutely loved everything about this coat but the sizing guide seems way off. I followed the recommended sizing guide and it suggested I would be XL after I measured myself. I thought that size seemed too big so I ordered a large instead. When I received the large in the mail and tried it on, it was way too big on me. I like my ski/snowboard coats big but I think I could've went with a size medium or small. The sizing guide for this coat is way off. I usually am a large to XL with Burton but I would recommend going even smaller with Outdoor Research.

Great jacket. I would order your true size, I went a size up to be a bit baggier and I definitely did not need to as the jacket is already oversized. The front pocket is huge. Love the smaller chest pocket for my phone. Only con is that there are no vents to release heat. The armpits/sides zip open to help get the jacket on but then you are completely exposed to the elements and snow can get inside. I think it would be better if there was a mesh or some sort of fabric in the armpits so that you can leave them open while you rip down the hill.

Love the way this looks and feels. I wish they had more colors because the darker rusty copper/orange is not really my thing, and the yellow is very intense. However, this makes you very easy to find in the snow which my friends appreciate. Easy to take on and off, and feels very well made. I'm 5'6 and 130-140lbs, the small fit fine, but I think I medium would also fit! I have a bigger booty, so the small was just a tad too fitted around the butt area for me personally, but I was looking for a baggy look.

Wore this for 3 days of skiing. It is comfortable, warm, and flattering on. The deep front packet was perfect for keeping the essentials (phone, wallet, etc.) and easy to access even on the lift. My only complaint is that it's a little tricky to get on and take off with just the side zipper access. However, most ski gear is clunky in some way and I feel that effort is outweighed by the other benefits of the coat.

I liked the colors on this jacket but everything else was terrible. It’s absolutely huge, and the boxy cut is tough for anyone to pull off. The zipper doesn’t go all the way down, it stops mid way at the front pocket. So you’d have to pull it on and off overhead every time. The hood is useless if you don’t have a helmet on.

Bought this a month ago and have used it once for skiing and multiple times outside in the cold. Super warm and insulated -- only needed a wool base layer with this and was comfortable in 12 degree ski weather. sold on that, would buy 10 times over again if I could.
