Black,grey, or ether of those colors with a little blue. Get something that looks good but dont spends hours trying to decide...my friend in real life literally will stare at his computer for hours trying to decide if he should get something, drives me insane.

So many brands to choose from, depends on what you need it for. Check out Virtika, Orage, Saga, Sabek, Bloom, Armada, The North Face, Helly Hanson, Planks Clothing, Picture Clothing (European), and Oakley. Literally there are too many to name. If you use this for more BC and Touring, get something like Orage, The North Face, Helly Hanson, Sabek, and even Planks. Something more of a tech jacket will do. If you want it for more park check out Planks, Saga, Virtika, Oakley, Sabek, and Bloom.

Don't buy Armada. I did and regret it. Bought a pair of their entry gore-Tex pant which was their top of the line pant at the time and within one season I had two belt loops tear. Also the outer fabric would get really wet and hold moisture. It never made it through the layer but still... Expected more for the price.

Style and design was on point though.
