Hi I was looking for a new jacket for next year and have narrowed it down to the gonzo jacket from north face, the corked jacket from oakley (i found a good deal) and the anomie jacket from saga. I live in the pnw so I'll need something quite waterproof, but I like a shell so I can layer. They all seem to be pretty well made, but does any one have any advantages over the others? I like a relatively baggy fit, but nothing 4bi9. I'm 5'9" so I'd probably get a large in any of them, except the north face since I can only find it in xl. Also they fit small.... But I'd primarily use it for bc skiing but a bit of park as well. Thanks!

Nahh I don't really like my First drop. Pants are way too wide and durability sucks. Jacket is nice and warm but the durability also sucks.
