I had my inaugural ski trip with the new jacket this week and I loved it. It started off well when the bus driver said she liked my jacket as I boarded the bus.
I was a little worried that it wouldn't have enough pockets for me. Because I sometimes take the bus, I load a lot of things in my pockets for the ski day. I found that there were enough of them and big enough for what I packed. The day I went it was in the mid teens with a stiff wind and the jacket kept me warm (I did have a fleece vest underneath the jacket).
My measurements put me on the border between medium and large (I'm 6'0", 175 lbs) but I got the large size. It's plenty big for layers under the jacket and I might should have gone with the medium, but it will work for me.
So far, I'm happy with my purchase. It seems like a nice jacket for a reasonable price.
