Oakley Parachute Down Jacket - Women's
super warm coat!
By all3211854 November 29, 2010
This jacket is awesome. I'm one of those women who is always cold, and this jacket saved me from freezing on an elk hunt in blizzard conditions... and even -20 F days.
On days with positive temps the pit zips will certainly be nice as this coat is about as warm as you can get.
It fits a little small around the middle, but otherwise true to size.
My only wish is that it had good pockets to stuff your hands. The front pockets work alright, but are not positioned well for hands.. and the left one is a little smaller.
I love the magnets... much nicer than getting your scarf or whatever stuck in velcro, or try to mess with snaps when your fingers are frozen. (There are still zippers too, but magnets are a great back up in case you forget to zip up your goods)
I also love the snow blocker sleeves,powder skirt and extra length to keep your ass off the snow.
Ski pass pocket is pretty sweet too.
