For those who have heard of Flylow or own a Flylow jacket, what are your thoughts? I am thinking about purchasing the new Higgins Jacket for the upcoming season and want to make sure I am making a good decision. Thanks for the input and help.

i had a higgins jacket a couple years ago, i think the first year they made it. i honestly thought it was a horrible jacket, the material it was made out of sucked ass and the dwr waterproofing they put on it wore off in literally one day of wet weather use. they fit was also really weird, it was really tight right around the elbows and was hard to layer under. the construction quality also seemed to be sub par, the velcro on the cuffs stopped working and started to peal off.

granted this was like 3 years ago when flylow was more touring oriented than freeride, i also got it off prodeal before it was really available so it may have been some sort of prototype of something.

Flylow is the jam. High quality, great warranty, supports great skiers who do awesome things. It's a freeride fit for sire though, no tall sizes.
