IF only the fleece were zip in...
By john biddle October 5, 2011
1st impression was very positive; Shell felt awesome, fleece was nice and...fleecy, the fit was good, but a bit baggy around the middle (not a very athletic cut). The only real downsides are that it's not a zip in capable shell, and that the company is out of business. I'm banking on the strong reputation for quality...cause I'm guessing there isn't a chance in hell it has any kind of warranty!
Buy these before they're gone...it's a great jacket.

This is a very nice jacket. As the previous reviewer noted, the shell is absolutely awesome. The fleece is quite nice. Mine was a little tight in the sleeves - a bit of a pain to get off after a good workout on the slopes. Despite the tight fit it was absolutely not restrictive during skiing - very comfy.
