Recieved my jacket, seems to be very well built and much warmer than I antisapated even though it's so thin. I wear mine with 2 thermal layers underneath and large fits me perfect, I'm 5'10 200lbs. Works perfect for me under my ground technical shell.

Pro's Zip out hood and removable faux fur(soft not wirery fur) LARGE Mesh Pit Zips Removable\Working powder skirt with 3 snaps to keep put. Easy access magnetic front pockets Soft\smooth collar won't irritate neck\skin Acceptable quality zippers with tie offs Very very nice pocket configuration, all pockets are usable and smart. Great mesh mini-pocket for earbuds. Down Fill makes it warm, warm, warm Cons 3\4 length and Down fill make jacket heavier than most snowboarding coats(Heavy=Warm) Fit is strange I'm 5'11, 195Lbs and I wear a medium, most jackets I wear a large or Xlarge. 5K waterproofing is a little on the weak side but honestly that all most people need from a jacket. Overall this is a very nice jacket I bought for just walking around and staying warm while waiting for the bus but I may end up using it on cold days as it’s.

Great down jacket for the price, very very warm with lots of pockets and features. Its a little on the heavy side for snowboarding but I'm using it for walk around jacket anyways, gets dam cold waiting for the 270 express when it's -20 below 0 with blowing wind and ice in Minnesota. Pros: Detachable hood and pow skirt, lots of nice pockets, 5k waterproofing, very comfortable. Cons: A little on the heavy side but that's really why it's so warm. I'm 5'10 200lbs and the large is just a touch to big, not enough for me to send it back though this thing will keep me alive in case my car breaks down this winter.

Just spent 4 days riding this at Breck after I broke my 2003 Custom. Wow super fast, smooth and confidence inspiring on the steeps and choppy\icy conditions. Honestly the biggest difference between this and my Custom is weight. It's so light that when I short carve my whole board actually leaves the ground between edge plants. First board I've seen that you can see through when you hold it up to the light(Hollow Alum honey comb core), keep this thing out of the park your hack it to pieces in no time. Rode the 162 in knee deep powder no problem and left almost every behind, set your stance back just a bit and your golden in the deep stuff. This board did not seem as stiff as advertised seemed just slightly stiffer than my old custom.
