I do it all the time when it is warm. But I have super baggy pants and a 3xl jersey. I am also the only kid that does it so it is kind of cool.

never. I hate the unzipped cape steeze. It's gaper to the max, and pointless. either wear a shell or no coat, or at least zip it halfway, so you still get airflow but it stays shut

man, it's sad when zipped jackets vs unzipped jackets is debated in a sense regarding fashion and coolness, as opposed to the sensible argument of 'is it warm? I'll unzip my jacket. It's cold now? I'll zip up my jacket now'

u should only unzip ur shit durin bootpack, wtf? just wear a shell. if u put some money into it you will stay nice and warm without a puffy as fuck "coat". and besides, most hi-end ski/snoboard pants/jackets have wat we call "vents" so u can unsip this shit and the air goes in and u cool down
