I thinking about picking up a Bloom onward jacket but wanted to know how the quality is first.
I wanted to know about durability, waterproof, all around function and stuff. If you have a quality jacket that i should take a look at feel free to post suggestions.
Thanks NS!
p.s i already checked the search bar and couldn't find anything so please no hate.

Awesome jacket. The main thing that sticks out to me is the fit, it is so incredibly on point I will probably buy bloom for most of the foreseeable future. It is the perfect amount of length so that is isn't restricting while hiking, and it isn't wide at all due to the length(5'10" 130lbs size large). I have only had 6 days on it so far, so I cannot say much as the the durability, but some things that stuck out were that on the reinforced parts on the bottom of the pants where there is the most wear, there are only two extremely tiny slits that I am sure will not continue to rip unless cut more by sharp ski edges. Awesome company also, I met Jim at A-Basin this spring and he is a really chill guy, he even followed up with me on here. plus it is only $130 right now which is a steal for how awesome of a product is.

Thanks man, k+. I am wondering how the shoulders fit in real life. The picture on their website make the shoulders almost look pointy due to the ability to zip off the sleeves.

I have heard that the shoulders fit a little weird on last year's jacket, but this year they dropped the removable sleeves. I do not notice any weird fit in this year's model

Quality wise, our jackets are awesome! 20k/20k waterproof/breathability rating, taped seams, and double seam construction are a couple of the features that really make our gear high quality.

Our newest line of jackets fit great through the shoulders. Our jackets from the 2011/2012 season featured zip off sleeves, which made them fit slightly different through the shoulders. A broader shoulder set fills out these jackets great.

Shoot us a PM or email if you have any other questions. We are happy to answer them!
