I think it's one of the best "bang-for-buck" jackets out there. I use it on colder days, and it's the only Saga outerwear I own so it's not like I'm super loyal to them. It's really nice, perfect balance between a little bit of insulation and keeping it light so you can still add a few layers comfortably. Personally, I like the whole lettermens jacket approach to it they have as it is pretty unique. The only thing I didn't like was my ribbing was a bit tighter than I would have liked so if the jacket rode up on me it would stay that way and look dorky. Double-edged sword I guess, and I think getting a size L, would have alleviated the problem.

Highly recommend it.

So you're the one that won the skis.. I think I might've seen you in my econ class but maybe not. But yeah the On Deck is warmer than their other jackets but a little less water proof, I think it's a good walking around jacket or park jacket on a cooler day when waterproofing doesn't matter as much.

I have last year's on deck and it's awesome. A little less waterproof than the anomie but it still gets the job done, especially keeping you warm. The thing's perfect in almost any situation.

I definitely wouldn't go that far, it's no anomie with the 20k abilities but it depends on what you're trying to do with it really. Awesome coat either way

I love mine, super comfortable and great for the coldest days, but if the temp is 10 degrees or warmer I find it too warm even with just a t underneath. I generally wear it out at night when it's cold, rarely ski in it.

I had a shell last year, and my home mountain, Big Mountain in Whitefish, is always windy. So I'm stoked for it.

Unless you're skiing in rain, I can't see that being a problem. Or if you have an old one.
