I've skied in this jacket for two seasons now and have been pretty pleased with it. It has proven very durable and shows no signs of wear when it definitely should. It's not the warmest jacket, so layering is a must on those cold days, which brings me to my first quibble. There isn't a whole lot of room in the shoulders, so you feel a little constricted when layering. It is also too short in length. Granted, I'm a skinny 6'4" wearing a large, but it still seems short. Another issue is the zippers. The fabric in the pockets and the pit-zip vents FREQUENTLY get caught in the zippers. Those are really my only complaints. I've never been wet, even when it started to rain a little and it stops the wind very well. On warm spring days, the vents cool you off quickly.

This boot handled a four day backpacking trip incredibly well. Four days on wet trails and my feet stayed comfortable and dry the entire time. They even handled a four hour slosh in wet spring mud when I returned to my car to find it stuck and had to get it out. Can't comment on the durability of these boots though they fail to show few, if any, signs of normal wear-and-tear after the couple of times they've been used. Great boot!
