Ralphykeys's Review of Patagonia Insulated Powder Bowl Jacket - Mens
I had a Mountain Hardware jacket and the hood was problematic, so i finally splurged and found a great deal on this jacket. While it's not my favorite color, it's not bad, and the jacket itself is one of the best ski jackets i have ever tried on. Finally got out a few times this season with it and have been almost completely happy. My only problem with it is that i am not a vest guy and the jacket is sort of a super-deluxe vest. The sleeves are lighter than the rest of the jacket and i noticed during the record-breaking cold snap we had here out east that up above the tree-line on the chair-lift, my arms were getting a little chilly, while the rest of my body and head for completely warm.
The jacket itself is a great fit for me, extra small ; 5'3" 125 lbs, and fit a ski helmet perfectly. Jacket was room enough to enable comfortable downhill skiing without feeling any restrictions.
One of my favorite parts is the many different pockets to hold gloves on breaks, a couple power bars for eating on the go, and a few other misc items like a tissue, some thing to wipe my goggles, a great cellphone pocket. Still not 100% sure how to use the sleeve pocket and the other side pocket seems a little small for a water bottle, but i prefer a backpack anyway.
All in all a great insulated jacket.
