Bang up jacket, top notch - -SHED, Mountain Equipment Changabang Jacket, Ski Shell Jackets

Just received the Cardinal Orange jacket first of August 18 so I cannot speak about winter, rain, windy use. Overall the jacket feels like extremely durable Gore-Tex Pro. I think it is 80D fabric so it should be durable. The Cardinal Orange is outstanding as far as looks go, very bright and noticeable. The pockets are of good size and should definitely hold some gloves and other stuff. The main zipper is pretty smooth in movement. I have had other brands that this has been troublesome. Both pockets on the chest are easy as well on the zippers. The pit zips are tough to get up and down with one hand but I find this to be the case with any I have ever tried, may be lack of range of motion.

The hood on this is the best I have ever used no shell jacket bar none. It has a wire brim with some bendable plastic or something attached to it so it almost like a baseball cap bill that you can mold and it sticks out a bit to keep rain off your face. It also has a removable snow skirt, nothing special but nice to have. The wrist cuffs feel as if they should remain velcro strong for a long time and shouldn't lose their stickiness. When raising my arms overhead the sleeves do not pull down and stay put good, however they are bit long on me when they are not extended.

I am very happy with this jacket as of now and do not expect any surprises when the bad weather comes. Once again campsaver has knocked it out of the park with price and delivery. Campsaver is my #1 place to look for online great ski products at fabulous prices, thank you much!!!
