Love it, except one little thing: - Mountain Hardwear Quasar Insulated Jacket - Mens

The wrist gaiters with thumb holes. Great idea, I was really excited to have a better system for keeping wrists warm and out of the snow. However, they wear a little short (at least on my long arms) and pull when arms aren’t straight. Also, the cuff is not deep enough for the tops of gloves to go under. Maybe gloves with gauntlets will interface better?

That’s my only reservation. Insulation level seems perfect for keeping warm after hiking up, and the shell material is just a bit more burly than your average ripstop junk. Hopefully it will hold up well in the backpack on the ski down.
