Review
This is one of the better jackets I have reviewed or even used in my long tenured skiing life. It is hands down one of the warmest jackets because of the multiple layers and the new technologies in it. I went to very extreme weather conditions on some very hardcore slopes, and even when going at full speed down some of those slopes I was unable to feel slightly chilled. However I did have a few layers underneath, but the weather conditions I have used this in make up for any doubt one might have with the above experience. I have used this jacket with only one layer beneath and it still is unstoppable, I am truly blown away by this jacket. I don’t know what makes it so powerful, but I believe it is the technologies Spyder implemented in this jacket, which was such a game changer for the winter jacket market. Besides the overall strength of windbreaking and warmth it offered, the other features of this jacket were also a plus. The pockets found on the inside of this jacket offered a lot of storage for my keys and ipod or wallet while on the slopes. While you may think I would lose those items, this jacket features highly safe pockets that not only keep my objects safe, but keeps me comfortable while those objects are inside the jacket.
Overall this is one of the best jackets I have ever experienced, and that is hard to say with all of the high performance winter jackets on the market today. Even for this price I would suggest it to anyone who is looking for a winter Jacket.
