Great insulator, don't wash it! I used a drop of detergent(literally a drop of outdoor gear detergent made and worked on many other jackets) and washed and the water repellency has gone away. The jacket initially repelled a light mist/snow, but now just soaks H2O in. The jacket still keeps me warm and stylish, and I would probably buy again but not wash it, maybe just soak in warm water to release the eventual stank.
Great Jacket, minus the mistake/durability

I am a skier and i was skeptical about burton soft goods..... but no more, u guys are equal! May not be as warm or nice as a patagucci r1 pant, but work almost just as well..... and look a lot better.
I use underneath a shell pant while skiing/riding and it has worked great from -10 to 45.... not to mention at the end of the day you look damn good in these pants.
They are baggier fit, so they look good when around house, town, etc. although if you want slim fit order smaller size
p.s: pockets are semi-useful if you ever want to use a zipper pocket on your long underwear or are using for casual/apres wear

have had this rope for a couple of years now and had to go through a few ropes before finally finding and loving this one. I primarily sport climb in boulder canyon, and thunderstorms creep in daily without notice. This rope has held up really well to freak hailstorms, downpours, falls, rough rock, and still has more life after two years than any other rope i have had. It takes a long time to break in, so dont worry about the stiffness or tangling... i think this is primarily due to superdry coating, although this is not nearly as bad as other ropes i've had.......
Rope felt really great out of bag, was able to actually climb and not have to deal with knots everytime i opened up ropbag!
Super lightweight, and might as well get the 70m or longer because its so light, opens up a few more options!

Make sure you have a proper "heavierish" long underwear and these pants are legit. They are super waterproof and seams are sealed welded etc, as expected for 3L shell type pant. I'M IMPRESSED WITH ARMADA QUALITY. first time armada softgoods user and i'm stoked!
not the sturdiest or most durable fabric, but will hold up to a lot and has out in CO backcountry.
Very breathable, quite possibly the most comfortable my balls have ever been while hiking at 12,000+ ft!
Sizes run a bit larger like snowboard clothing, I'm always a M and the M is very steezy(baggy) on me, functions well, but depending on your preferences keep this in mind.
Not quite bombshell, lets say bulletproof! great pants!

These skis are perfect for just about everything (nipple deep I use my hellbents, but these would work just fine). First thing i noticed is how much these skis like speed! they perform very well on high speed groomers, and straight-lining chop on the cirque! Very nimble maneuvering through early season stumps, rocks, moguls, etc. *****Base is made of great material and is extremely durable along with the edges, K2 has me sold on this feature, have not blown any edges in last 3 years of punishing different K2 sticks. Seth has the right idea on mounting, after all he helped design it!!!! ..... thanks for another pair dreams on my feet!
bottom line: perfect combo of rocker/camber/carve for just about anything any mountain throws at you! a "one-ski-quiver" type ski
P.S.: and it looks sooooooooooooo goood!!!!!

I had the godfather pants from a year ago and they were much warmer and better fabric. Seams are not taped well or something, pants feel awfully drafty in sub-freezing temps. Fabric is relatively fragile and feels like it will tear soon. Stiching looks like the kids that sewed these pants in china were drunk! (p.s. made in china, but everything is..) Have had problems with spyder buttons breaking and these pants are no exception, two buttons already ripped off when i was trying them on for first time! haha. There are a few pros: nifty snaps for cuff so pants dont drag (fabric would fall apart!) Sunlit yellow is cool vibrant color, a lot better looking than picture suggests (think cool yellow, almost creamy) These are being sent back soon, and i will not be fooled into buying spyder products anytime soon, quality is just pathetic!

I ski about 150 days a year(now in CO, UT last few), and tear through poorly made jackets 2-3 times a year until i find the right one. This jacket is the right one!!! Fabric is super burly and I will not be tearing it on nasty branches or anything else, this is very important for me. 3L membrane is super waterproof, and pretty breathable, although not the most breathable jacket due to the thickness of fabric. I wear a midweight fleece and light poly top........ everyday of the winter, until spring and i'll loose the fleece, and this is plenty warm, was up at vail 2 weeks ago in -15 w/o wind chill and I was cozy, just wish my pants were same fabric! Seems are fully taped and I'm sure this jacket would work well in NW rain/snow/cement. About the fit: I'm about 5-9 155, and always a medium in everything except for odd fitting companies, this jacket is perfect in medium, although the arms feel restricting around armpits when sitting down, perfect when out on mountain.

Cons: Media pocket is near worthless, i'd expect from other non ski/ride companies, but cmon salomon? Sealed zippers will probably be demise of jacket like so many before, dunno why they all don't use YKK like arcteryx. HOOD IS NOT HELMET COMPATABLE, little tight/small over helmet.

Pros: BOMBPROOF fabric/seals, will not let snow/moisture in! BC return policy. I'm a big rockies fan and purple is perfect! Jacket LOOKS really good, and performs better!

took a long time to break in, looks like new after tons of routs, the problem is that it went from looking and feeling new, to almost breaking really quick. it fray's really weird, make sure to send it back and have backcountry give you a new one when it wears out.
