Recently, I've noticed that my jacket is now very small and I needed a new jacket. What brands and which jackets do you recommend?? Also, Im only about 5 feet tall so what are some size suggestions?? My mom thinks Im good with kids sizes but Im not so sure..

Sweet Protection has sick jackets. Technical and good looking.
The North Face Fuse Brigandine is another good alternative.
They are both expensive, but some hella sick jackets.

Adult cloths are usually higher quality than the kids stuff when it comes to outerwear.

Grab moms credit card and order 5 jackets to try them on. Forget to send the others back, then sell the rest to us

Get a down jacket and a shell to go over it, with various other layers to leave in your bag and change according to the temperature... I got a Mammut shell for like $100 on sale at rei and got my dads patagonia down when all the coaches got new jackets. I stopped wearing one piece jackets when I was like 11 and when I learned wearing 4 cotton jiberish hoodies didn't keep you warm or dry, I switched to proper layering and never looked back.

I wear a Grundens jacket... They are meant for commercial fishing, but Ive found its decent for skiing too. Most durable and waterproof jacket Ive ever owned.. If you ski in rain often Its a great buy

A Mission Ridge Lifty reccomended it and I dig it.

If you can actually fit in kids' sizes it's so much cheaper...
