Its a nice park skier jacket that is more practical for everyday use than a jacket... but probably nto best for deep snow or anything.
Ill give it a 9, because it cannot allow you to teleport to different ski areas with better weather, and it will not guerantee that you will get laid by Sarah Burke, or anyone else that you think is hot, and it will certainly not allow you to win the lottery all by itself, but it is a sick mofuckin jacket thing, and so it deserves a high rating...
Performance
Its got decent waterproof, but gives a lot more flexibility than an normal jacket... its made of some kind of silky material that is waterproof to 5k and its breathable to 3. Not the most breathability, but its also not that heavy either.. so its fine. Its alot nicer for park, because its not heavy and it keeps you dry.
The surround sound hood doesnt really work like real surround sound.. in fact I dont know what the heck they mean by that.
they have a pocket for your Ipod or mp3 where the headphones go up the inside. its pretty sweet. I like it.
Design
It looks cool. It feels good. It has nice little tidbits with the MP3 thing. its made out of good material, and its not heavy at all.
Good design.
Value
Cost my 90 bucks, but it retails for 120.
If you do more park than pow, and ski mostly on sunny days, this thing is sweet and will give you more mobility than a jacket.. so maybe the 80-120 bucks will be a good price... whereas if you ski in bad weather alot or in really deep pow a lot, this might not be worth it and you would end up using it not so much for skiing.. so maybe not so worth it, and you should spend your money on a marked down jacket of your choice...
Fit
Fits well. Comfty and not too constrictive or anything.. I can feel it on me, but its not tight or anything. Pretty sweet actually.
Durability
It holds up pretty well.. it has no tears or anything and doesnt really seem like it could fall apart... the seams look good and its gone through the wash a few times and come out okay.
