I ended up sending it back--I found the cut to be pretty boxy and the jacket was really heavy. Runs a bit bigger than most brands.

These are my all-mountain bindings. The ratchets are the smoothest I've encountered and strapping in never takes long--quicker in a time trial than Flows. Great control with the highbacks. I worried they seemed flimsy at first, but they haven't let me down yet. Also, I literally pulled the padding off the 3-hole plates (it's really just adhesive foam--seems like the stuff you could get at a craft store), stuck it on the 4-hole plates, added a couple holes through the foam for screws, and am good to go with padded plates on a Lib tech board. Cheap move by Burton, but not a deal-breaker.

Overall I've been happy, but not the happiest. The ratchets definitely aren't the smoothest I've encountered. My left ankle ratchet regularly sticks while strapping in, which is annoying, but not a deal-breaker. Also, snow gets inside the ratchets and sometimes needs to be picked out with the strap, which I've never done with other bindings. Awkward when you're bent over. After about 50 days riding they definitely show wear and tear--the base padding is coming off in chunks, but it hasn't affected performance yet. They're also on the heavy side for freestyle bindings. But if you get used to the weight, don't mind some chipping and chunking, and once you've strapped the ratchets, they have great response.

I've worn this jacket as a base layer snowboarding every day this season. Amazingly comfortable, very little bulk, adds warmth or is enough on its own for a spring day. Sleeve holes are awesome.

They don't allow for much peripheral vision. I also found that they had strange pressure points even when really loose. Fit great over my helmet, and the lining material is way softer than my Oakleys.

I love this jacket. Warm, soft, and I get compliments all the time from both riders and fashionistas.
