4 Seasons of Steep and Deep
02-18-09 ![]() |
I have to say that I will never buy another snowboard boot. I've had the malamutes for 4 seasons and 200+ days of hard charging and they get more comfortable every day of riding. I"m 6'4 240 lbs and lay every ounce of it into every turn and I revel in the stiff response I get. From powder to groomers to hard pack steeps I swear by these. |

| Patagonia Powder Bowl Jacket - Men's This product is no longer available |
40 Days in it this year

First of all this jacket looks great. I got it in red at the beginning of the season and have worn it day in and day out. As far as fit goes it's great. At 6'4 230 the length or arms and torso are perfect. I like a baggier fit (but not draping off me) and this is just right for me. Waterproofing is amazing. Rode in the rain and stayed relatively dry. A good amount of pockets and the chest IPOD pocket within a pocket is great. I've carried my iphone in there almost everyday and it has survived. Hood fits well also. If I had one complaint it would be that in the powder the cuff velcro can get saturated with snow and prohibit the velcro from adhering. I have to make sure to really clean of the cuff from snow or I'll have the cuff closure straps flapping. Otherwise I love it |

I wear this thing year round

So comfortable and always a good layer add on. Usually just wear it alone on mild fall/spring days. I'm 6'4 230 and I wear the xxl as a pullover sweatshirt outerlayer and it's perfect |

eh not a huge fan

It looks really cool but I haven't really wanted to wear it too much. The inside material makes things a bit clammy and the hood/neck fit is way off. Nice taped seam and zippers though |

Pad is great

the pad on these are perfect and I'm definitely a fan of the cycling bib. at 6'4 with longer legs the xxl fits pretty well, wish the short part was a little longer but just personal opinion. The logos will start to peel off too but I don't really care about the cosmetics of that. |

Great for Snow Sports

The tech specs say backpacking and hiking but I've used these to snowshoe and skin up the mountain on my splitboard and they work great. Really light in the pack too. My only complaint would be that when fully stowed the cam locks don't fully lock down on the narrow end and adjusting the screw would cause the cams to be too tight when locking the poles out into hiking mode. Overall very nice and light. |

Go to jacket these days

Love this piece. Read all the reviews and I was sold. The wool looks quite classy for a techy piece of gear. the backcountry logos add nice flair and the fit is just fitted enough for my liking without being too tight. I'm 6'4 230 and the XL works well. Perhaps a little short if your torso is long though |

such a fun board. I've been riding this almost exclusively these days since luckily tahoe has been getting dumped on. It really does float as advertised and it's super responsive. I'm a big guy, 6'4 230lb and i ride the 168 no problem. I love snapping of natural hits with this thing. so fun. Sadly I slammed a hidden land mine and tore through to the core. The base seems a little thin on further inspection but i guess what do you expect when you bomb onto a rock. |
