Do you snap it or leave it undone when you wear your jacket for park riding? Just wondering, because tall tees get weird when it is snapped, but no one likes snow up their shirt.

pow skirts are good for keeping the warmth in, I have never really had powder come up my jacket, even on my old jacket without a skirt.

I like to wear it in the park if I'm trying new tricks that I might fall trying.

I always forget to do mine up, and it does help on cold days. Too bad there isn't enough snow at my local hill to worry about snow up my shirt.
