Description of Oakley En Bleiler Jacket - Women's: |
|
Gretchen Bleiler’s concerns for the environment and her love of ballz-out snowboarding combine to form the Oakley Women’s En Bleiler Jacket. The four-time Winter X Games snowboard champion made sure her signature loose-fit jacket uses earth-friendly Eco Storm fabric and has fully taped seams so you can ride through the winter wet without getting soaked. Critically placed fleece backing and light Thinsulate insulation provides warmth where you need it while Underarm zips dump heat when you attack the park. A removable pow skirt, hood, and wrist gaiters block snow all season long.
Bottom Line: Shred like the Bleiler.

| She loves it 08-17-09 |

| I bought this jacket for my girlfriend, and although I agree with Matilda that the magnetic "buttons" may prove problematic in use, my girlfriend loves the jacket and says that the buttons aren't a problem. Hopefully she still feels that way after extended use of the jacket.
Barring the possibility of rising irritation level regarding the magnetic buttons, the zip-off hood, hand snow skirts (called "hand-panties" in Matilda's review, a term I like), material, feel, color--all are great features. It looks great on the wearer, and when I put it on just to see how it fit/felt, I was really impressed, even though it's much too small for me to do anything active in it. The "critically placed fleece" mentioned in the product description is pretty cool too--they didn't add any extra material here, only a couple of small sections to match up where your body loses the most heat, thus keeping the bulk and weight of the jacket down while providing the extra insulation that makes this jacket just one step above a shell. Very impressed, overall, and if this jacket came in a men's version, I'd probably buy it for myself. |

| Nice looking jacket a few drawbacks. 07-30-09 |

| If you wanna look good and can overlook a few minor drawbacks get this jacket! I agree with many of the other comments, yes it’s a shell with a few fleece sections over the chest area and in the elbows….. but those keep it a little warmer and allow for great layering capability. The wrist gators are so-so but who buys a jacket for wrist gaiters alone. I did rip a spot on the arm skiing through some trees, but I was in major trees. The color is BRIGHT green and makes it really easy for your friends to find you on the mtn. The jacket is pretty heavy, not a backcountry jacket to stuff in your pack, but for in bounds skiing it’s great, good for layering, good pit zips that dump heat when you need it, the snaps up top are a little hard to use but look good, the powder skirt actually keeps snow out and integrates with Oakley pants really well. I originally ordered a Med since I don’t like tight jackets but it was huge, returned for a small and it fits great, a little baggy (5’5” 125lbs). For the tramdock price get this jacket! |

| Pretty Awesome 03-16-09 |

| I ordered this jacket on Tramdock for about $100.
I was unsure on size because I’m between M&L. I went large, because I have long arms and long torso. It’s definitely baggy, and a little big. But it's the only jacket I’ve worn that has long enough arms and covers my bum.
It’s a fine shell, and it’s zip in compatible with almost anything with a similar zipper.
I really like the wrist gaiters because they’ll fit under gloves easily. They haven’t run at all, and I am not careful with clothes.
The strong magnets are good and bad. Love the auto-closure. Don’t love how close the media pocket is to the magnets. It crashed my ipod classic, but it’s fine with any mp3 players using flash memory.
Super-bright green and easy to spot. Super-comfy fleece on the neck/chin. I absolutely love it in spite of the few design flaws. |
