Initial Impressions
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am 5'3", 125lbs and tried on a x-small in agave deep woods. My background in gear use is primarily in a backcountry touring setting. I work as an avalanche educator and backcountry ski guide. I gave this jacket 4/5 stars instead of 5/5 because I feel this jacket is a little heavy and bulky for a ski tour jacket. However, this jacket does seem like it would shine in a resort setting due to the powder skirt and extensive pockets. Certainly a durable, well made jacket that I would trust in a rugged storm. This jacket would definitely keep you warm and dry. I appreciate the high, protective collar and large hood. Pockets are very spacious and plentiful. With two mesh pockets inside the jacket, two hand pockets on the outside, and one chest pocket. Full pit zips as well. Color is cute and stylish. Sleeves are long with plenty of space to fit over gloves. The torso is not too fitted, length is pretty standard, covering the butt. Comfy, wear all day type of jacket. Black Diamond gave me this free product to try in exchange for my honest review.
Great for high elevation and winds!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Started using this jacket this fall while constructing our house at 9300’ and it works great! It is very wind proof yet a breathable material. I like the way the hood sits around my neck and the length of the sleeves. I am 5’3” and the small is perfect for layering. The removable powder skirt is a nice touch. I am wondering about the durability of the zipper stopper but so far it seems tough. Can’t wait to try this out skiing!
Awesome jacket
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There's so much I love about this jacket and the attention to detail in the design. It has a nice bit of stretch to it that makes it very comfortable. There are large pit zips for letting out heat. There's a pass pocket on the sleeve. When fully zipped up the inside is soft against the chin/face. I am 5'6" and 150lbs and the size large fits well with space to layer up underneath. I would describe the fit as a little boxy. In comparison to some other ski shells I own, this one is noticeably shorter in length which works great for me with a shorter torso, but this could be an issue for someone who is tall. Looking forward to using this jacket in the backcountry and resort this winter! I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven't got to ski in it yet as I'm waiting for snow, so I feel I have to wait for the on snow test to give it more stars. I'm 5'1 and the small is a good fit for me with room for layers underneath. This is a lightweight stretchy jacket which is great for all skiers who are working hard on the uphill and downhill. The powder skirt is removable and I appreciate that as I already took it off. Pockets galore, yay!
A shell I like wearing!
I have trouble with waterproof ski shells bc I hate feeling like I’m wearing a trash bag. This shell has nice fabric that moves well and has some stretch to it, so I actually like wearing it! I haven’t had much of a chance to test out its waterproof-ness (come on Ullr!) but the breathability seems good for a shell.
I like the women's fit.
I like the women's fit. Nice design- great pockets and has recco. The hood is roomy for the helmet but tucks down when not needed. Excellent jacket.
