Hey,
I'm looking at the bloom outwear company for a new jacket, specifically the onward jacket. I've got a couple of questions about it:
How is the waterproofing on this jacket? It's stated to be 20k, is that accurate?
Is the jacket particularly skinny? I know it's long, but is it also quite skinny?
Do any of you have previous experience with bloom? Have they proven themselves to be a good company?
+K for helpful responses/bumps
Thanks

I've been talking to Jim quite a bit lately on facebook about business and skiing. Jim is the man. He is awesome, genuine, and really cares about his customers.

I have honestly heard nothing bad in terms of service or quality of products. I love my pants and the durability carries over to his coats I'm sure.

In terms of experience with the coats and a possible review, hit up my buddies Trace or Mr.Mitten aka Shittens I know they both have coats recent models and older ones.

Hey man,

Here's a link to a thread reviewing our 2011/2012 outerwear line. I can assure the outerwear has made much improvement then so don't sweat it. Out gear is nice and we have run into very few problems overall with our customers' satisfaction.

If you end up ordering a jacket from us and you don't like it, there's always the option to return as well.

We're currently putting on a sale - Jackets are usually $250 however they are priced at $200 until this coming Wednesday.

Hope that helps, feel free to PM.

I have 2012 Mint XL jacket and a 2013 XL 2Black jacket. Love them both, stitching on the 2012 model needed some work though, they fixed that this year from what I have heard. I also have some of the 2012 pants and I love them.

great products, I would buy a jacket from this year again if I needed/had the money to do so.

I might be able to help you out with such a proposition considering these new Colorado laws

bloom is definitely whats up. the other day it rained for literally about 5-6 hours, and pretty hard, while i was skiing. i stayed nice and dry. the fit is pretty skinny, i love how it looks on me. great durability, i have somewhere around 50 days on the snow and many nights of it stuffed in the back of a trunk, and it looks good as new. plus, jim is the man. i would definitely recommend bloom
