Hey guys. I recently outgrew my Northface jacket that I loved and I need a new one. I work at a mountain as park crew and our jackets are awesome. We have Nomis jackets (Like this one http://www.nomisdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/wpsc/product_images/NMSF10_SC_Simon_jacket_slategrid.jpg except in black) and I love the way it fits. The wizzard sleeves are sick. I've never really searched for a jacket I've just gone to local retailers and found what's on sale but I want to get a good one this time.

What I want:

A jacket that will look good in the park, but won't make me look weird when I'm skiing all mountain/moguls.

Thanks guys.

I'm just gunna guess, but if you work at the mtn & ski as much as possible, one jacket would get beat to shot pretty quick

It's mountain policy that we can't wear uniforms outside of work. You might ask, "Well who the fuck cares no one will find out..." That's what I thought too. I was riding at Sugarbush, VT this week wearing it and I was getting mad respect from everyone there, people gave me respect and I respected them. The park director there called my boss and talked about how great of an employee I must be and all this stuff. Then my boss freaked out that I was wearing my jacket somewhere else. This is what provoked the need for a new jacket.

Anyways here are some jackets I like...

The Oakley one is nice but it's not very thick/warm. One of my friends has it and it's very thin. It's also no very beggy just a normal fit just invade you were wondering. If you have the money buy yourself the Oakley corked jacket ( and pants if possible) solid jacket warm looks great lots of vest overall amazing. Plus if you het the matching pants it's even sicker. Never the less you can't go wrong with anything Oakley. It's really personal preference. Oh and th corked jacket is a tall jacket .

Hey man you should check out my buddies website. He's making hand made jackets that are soo sick. I've never had a jacket like it before in my life. Its all triple layer fabric and super super waterproof but you can make it as steezy as you want it. I got to pick my thread color zipper color and fabric. You get to pick how many pockets you have and where they are. All the seams are taped and it is literally the most waterproof jacket I have ever owned. I'll put some pics of mine on here but you should check out his site. its www.nickmarvik.com This really is the best jacket i've ever owned there is nothing better than being able to have a one of a kind jacket you will never ever see on anyone else. That and everyone always asks you what brand or where did you buy it and its super sick to say it was hand made. Best jacket ever!
