The jacket keeps you warm and blocks out the wind. It is loaded with pockets for your keys, phone, and big enough for ski park passes or just papers you need to fold away.

There is an elastic wrist sleeve to block snow or cold air from getting up into the rest of the arm. You can freely move around, and be assured knowing there is a built-in ski bib as well. The hood is not detachable and is not able to be stored away.

My height: 5'6"

My weight: 150lbs

Pros:

The Main zipper has a waterproofing layer.

Armpit vents are hidden very well.

Great color and style with red accents.

Reinforced padding on the mid-back for added warmth.

Fleece lined pockets and around the neck.

Cons:

The other zippers are not reinforced with the same waterproofing layer as the main zipper.

Hood is not big enough to fit over a helmet while on the slopes.

Sleeves are a little short.

Thumb holes in the wrist sleeves limit range of motion and reaching.

I was able to get a great product that was accurately described and for low cost.

Fit is just right. Sleeves are long enough. Liked my older Spyder jacket. So I am all set for winter now!

Love the feel, fit, and design. Lots of small details will make it a comfortable and warm winter coat.

I wanted the versatility of a removable hood. Heavier than expected. First SPYDER purchase. Seems to be a high quality jacket. Can't vouch for how warm it is yet.
