Faction Darwin?

Shit nobody? Damn

I have this jacket and have used it a few times this season. It's a great jacket. My only complaint would be the hood and the neck collar are one piece. The hood is a little small and it pulls the collar down exposing my neck a bit. Not a big deal, just be sure to wear a neck warmer or balaclava or something. Other than that it's a great jacket and i would highly recommend it.

Figure I will post a little review, as there doesnt seem to be many.

Alright, so I picked up this jacket about a month ago. Overall... very pleased. The fabric is very waterproof, and it holds up to Sierra cement. 20K waterproof may be an understatement. I went skiing while it was raining lower mountain the other day and while my pants got soaked through, this jacket did a great job of beading the water up. I was surprised at how little soaked in.

Fit is nice. I was not going for a huge fit, but it is still looser on my body. Able to move my body plenty. As well as having a good fit, this puppy is LIGHT. Just being a shell, i would recommend stocking up on layers. Although...were all skiers so we should know plenty about that right? I can post a picture of the fit on me if anybody is interested.

Stretch in the fabric is pretty negligible, and i feel like it is a bit of a marketing gig, but if you pull on it you can get a slight stretch. Vents are very large, but lack any sort of mesh liner on them. If you fall with them open you will be filled with snow. This is my biggest gripe. Along with this the "phone" pocket can not fit my galaxy S6, so I am forced to put my phone in my jacket. The large pocket on the left side of the chest is HUUGE. Im talking like a full 12 pack of PBR in there.

Overall, this is a great function centered jacket, with 2 negligible issues. I would definitely purchase this jacket again.
