Does it actually matter if it's warm? Just wear a fleexe/hoodie under it, and don't worry about it.

umm burton ronin has one i think, dna does but its a wierd orange, orage has one but its more orange/red, and then theres last years orage corp jacket that came in orange. hh has one too i think. look around theres a bunch. i got the evolution jacket in orange(came with the zip in fleece thing, probably wont do much tho) and it was the last xxl in north american so ull probably have some trouble finding that. check out the 07 siver on getboards, siver has an orange suit. theres probably more but im sure at least one of those will satisfy you

about the evolution lite

how thick/warm of a shell is it, cuz i've seen shells that are super thin and dont do anything for warmth, and then i've seen some that with that and a sweatshirt u'll be fine in like -40 degrees
