Bought this for a Mammoth trip 3 weeks ago. I purchased the XL. 6'2, 225lb
First impressions:
Very well made.
Comfortable.
Warm
Windproof.
Great pocket design.
Hood cinch is really nice.
I wore this in approx 9-14° at 10 Pm in Mammoth while the kids played in the new snow for just over 1 hour. I had layers underneath and I was 100% warm.
The next day they headed to the mountain and I watched them for 5 hours, standing there shuffling around. It was approx 17-19°, windy at times. I wore an Icebreaker and fleece underneath and still felt like I had enough room to move. I was warm the whole time, even when the wind blew. WC factor was probably 5-10° lower.
I didn't get to experience the waterproof factor as it was not snowing. I did however on the next day take the jacket off because it was too warm (25-28°). Placed the jacket onto the soft snow that was compact and sat on it for about 40 mins. While I felt the chill on my behind (obviously), I stayed dry in that area. This leads me to believe that the Waterproof factor is also top-notch.
The pockets are really well placed and top quality and fit quite a good size glove. The inside mesh holding area kept my hat and gloves without the problem of feeling bulky.
The main zipper is YKK with a jacket foldover and velcro to give that extra windproof over that zipper.
All in all, it feels like a $250 jacket. For this price, it's a STEAL. The quality is TOP NOTCH.
I wanted a different color than the white one but could not get the other one I wanted in time, now that is $69...Typical. The white however does look REALLY nice, so I'm still happy.
If you buy this, you truly won't be disappointed in its quality.
10/10.
Update. Wore this in the CA storm last week where it was absolutely raining super hard. Kept me dry.
So the waterproof factor for this was spot on as claimed.

Love it!
Love this jacket! It's lightweight but very warm. Holds just right at -10C (14F) with winds. I bought it for snowboarding but ended up wearing it every day during winter. Does not constrain movements.

Great jacket
I use this exclusively as my snowboarding jacket and I couldn’t be happier. Wore it over just a hoodie and a tee shirt on a 23° day and was warm/dry the entire day. Worth the money
