my favorite jacket
By Ingrid Backstrom
October 11, 2011
The long length, high cozy neck, perfect pockets, bomber fabric, and down fill make this my favorite jacket ever for downhill skiing. Even if I go for short hikes, I can just unzip and open the arm vents (they go up the whole arm!), or just strap it on my pack and put it back on when I get to the top. And this color is amazing.

Hi, I just now saw this question! I wear the Bastille green and I love it, but I also think the black is pretty awesome as well if you are going for more of a stealth look. :)
