Thanks to quilted side panels, a fitted cut, and fox fur trim, the Spyder Women's Royalty Jacket earns a sumptuous title. Plus, the 10K water-resistant, breathable fabric and thin insulation means you don't have to sacrifice warmth for fashion. Unzip the Royalty Jacket's underarm vents if you start heating up on the ski slopes or on your way into town, and keep your ski goggles or wallet in the interior mesh pocket. The fox fur trim on the hood can be removed, and the entire hood can be zipped off on sunny, dry winter days. Decorative studs on the Spyder Royalty Jacket add fun detail.
Bottom Line: Draping a bodyguard over your shoulders is heavy and bulky. Get weather protection from Spyder's Royalty Jacket instead.
I've worn my new jacket three times now. Once up at Schweitzer (Sandpoint, ID) skiing (it was 4 F), out on the town with black cords, and yesterday, snowshoeing. This is an amazing jacket. Fabulous attention to detail and beautiful fabric but also technical enough to take it on the slope. The waist can cinch in from the inside, and there are more pockets than described. Love the fox fur; the hood has a great drape when you use it but it also zips off easily, and there's a very soft inner liner on the collar as well. I ordered a size up to accomodate several layers, but the jacket is very warm. I'm totally happy. This is a great deal considering the high quality of the jacket. Don't hesitate.
