"I bought this ahead of a trip to Tahoe. Rode heavily all day through a relatively cold snowstorm at Squaw Valley (snowed 10"-12" in 24hrs w/ pellet-y grappa + high winds etc), and the jacket performed flawlessly. Light, comfy, flexi, sewn anatomically correct (!), yet like armor. For cold I suggest a couple thin synthetic base layers and a #4 Patagonia wool base layer over that; stays flexible and light, yet warm. This highly reliable shell does the rest. The zipper technology is amazin'...looks nice too.

I've been buying Burton gear since the early 1990s and this jacket is certainly an evolution in terms of fit, quality, and pure functionality. It very easily trumps any snowboarding jacket I've bought in the past, including Santa Cruz or FourSquare (and of course other Burtons).

Only complaint, and it is very minor: hood doesn't come off.

Shelling out for a pricey but well-designed piece of Gore-Tex like this is a decision I do not regret!"

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
