Please look up what a mm rating is before you order those. I agree, they look awesome, and I'd love to wear one myself, but not while I'm skiing. you're gonna be soaked in those things. That is some of the weakest waterproofing I've heard of in a ski jacket.

Even in spring skking when breathability is a must, 3000mm is pretty borderline from my perspective. I'd like it if they made a 5000mm line. But you're right, if you're not going to be getting too much snow on it anyways, I guess it hardly matters.

Yah it's a shame when I skiied with Mike Nick ths year he had the puffy on. It was by far the sickest jacket I've ever seen. However, you will be wet if you get wet snow or anything else.

The puffy looks ok in bottom white top black, but I think the white/black ten4 looks good. Olive isn't bad either.

I REALLY want a Olive/White one, but for $200+ I expect a very high performance/technical piece of outerware. It's not that I don't think Siver's stuff is the shit, I just can't afford it. I guess if mommy and daddy are buying it for you though it's not a big deal.

Considering I know where to get a Ronin jacket for 220USD that's worth over 500, I'd say you're right wanting quality construction stuff when paying that much for tech outerwear. I guess if you're dead set on not buying snowboard stuff then you don't have any option but to pay a bunch. I kinda wish I had one of those ten4s to just wear around.

puffys aren't meant to be warn in the rain, they get ruined if they get wet so, just buy a puffy and another waterproof jacket.

im sorta curious why they would put out such weak water proofing on their jackets. I mean at 5,000 youd prolly get wet just from laying down on the snow(might be wrong). I definitly like the style though, and i too wish i could get some of their stuff just for like casual wear at school or something.

Nah, 5000 is acceptable as far as I'm concerned, but 10000 and up, you can be confident with. The thing is, as waterproofing goes up, breathability often goes down, and you end up getting wet anyways with sweat because the moisture can't escape.

Well it depends which Ronin, cause some of their cheap Ronin stuff is crap. But the top of the line pants are insane, I never get wet. Best piece of outerwear I've owned thus far.
