No Pit Vents

Purchased the jacket expecting it to have pit vents, its standard for any jacket I've ever own. Based off the description, I thought it the chest vent was in addition to the pit vents, sadly that's not the case. Bought this jacket for the gore-tex and uphill skiing and my main concern is that the single chest vent isnt adequate. Lastly the fabric seems very thin, but time will tell if its durable enough. With all 686 products, the construction is quality with tight stitching, not to complain about here. Fit wise, I'm generally an XL but this jacket is huge on me. I could size down and still have plenty of room to layer. The cuffs are also very wide, allowing users if big gloves to tuck into the sleeves.

Best Bibs I've Used Yet

These bibs were fantastic for my snowboarding trip in Breckenridge. These bibs were extra flexible and didn't make me feel as constrained as other bibs have. They fit well and were very comfortable for riding from first chair to last. We ended up having a pretty wide range of temperatures from 40 to -10. The vents did a great job of keeping me cool on the warmer days, and I only had to add a single layer of thermal underwear (top and bottom) to be comfortable on the -10 days!

No Ventilation…bummer

Shouldn’t make a Shell without armpit vents. Shells are meant for warmer conditions and to layer under, armpit vents are a must!!! Got to be able to let the heat out after a hard resort lap or skinning to get a sweet line. Add Armpit Vents to all snow jackets!!!!

So Far, So Good! Living

So far, so good! Living right outside the Middlesex Fells, the weather can be incredibly variable year round, and this jacket handles the rain and wind well. I've found this jacket has managed to keep me warm when it's cold out, but also not overheat me in the event the sun is out because of how light the jacket is. The vents also help a lot with that, too. Definitely recommend!
