I NEED A JACKET-need some input

wait a week or so for causwell to drop their stuff. It shoul be quality!

Check out Bloom. I got to see some of their prototypes in person and i was pretty impressed

This, Bloom is looking amazing this season I would check them out!

All looks sick, thanks for the input. Anyone got any other suggestions?

Oakleys stuff is always nice. I really like this years Armada

You don't need to keep it narrowed down to ski stuff only. Ski and snowboard brands have lots of good deals. I recommend looking through Backcountry/Dogfunk/Department of Goods, Evo, etc. Filter by price lowest first, then just search for anything you think looks good. I like Backcountry stores because they have good variety, prices, and if something were to happen to it, I have the return policy to easily save my ass.

Pay attention to cleansnipe.com

There are crazy deals going on right now for snow gear!

There are a few things you want to decid before looking for jackets. First off do you want a shell or and insulated jacket. Shells tend to be more waterproff but you will need to layer up more which will mean addtional tech layers. An insulated jacket will require less under, but may be too warm for hotter days.

The next question is how water proff do you want. 10k is pretty much the minium. It will be fine in snow and light rain, but if your sitting on a chir lift in hard rain you may get wet. A20k jacket will be much better in wet conditions. If your going to stay on the hill no matter what condtions this may be the one to go for. Gortex is around the highest rating at 25k but it will also be the most expensive.

Once you know these too things you can look more clearly for jackets which match your requirments. Its always a good idea to try jackets on before buying as sizes change dramictically from brand to brand. I have an armada reckoning in lrg and a salomon reflex in XXL and they fit the same, so always try before you buy if you can.

Hope that helps.

the new oakley stuff is FRESSSHHHHHH

Who the fuck needs a jacket, ski naked...

I almost bought a bloom jacket, but i realized i really needed insulation in my jacket. They are making some of the cleanest and freshest outwear out there. Check em out man.

Can't go wrong with Saga

I've got a Salomon Reflex. It's a shell that's super waterproof and isn't overly baggy at an XL (I'm 6'1 175lbs). It is super dope and comes with a removable hood so it doesn't flap around.

Dont get saga, Armadas jackets are sweet the reckoning coat is nice.

Oakley Armada for sure , oakley has had some nice stuff lately id check it out if i was you
