Comments about Holden Burnside Jacket:

This is THE perfect jacket for skiers and snowboarders. It is waterproof, light and warm, with a slightly slimmer profile and all of the features you expect from a high-end jacket: powder skirt has zip-in interface with Holden pants, wrist gaiters, media pocket with good headphone wire routing, internal and external pockets, pit zips with mesh gaiting, draw strings for powder skirt and hood...everything you need. The fit is what you make of it - I have extremely long arms for someone 5' 9" and 145 lbs, so I bought a large. It gives me good bee-hind coverage and enough sleeve length when I move around. The only beef I have with the jacket is that the left external chest pocket has VERY powerful magnet buttons which can pose a danger to your media player that is placed just below it. I actually cut them out and welded the holes with Superglue. This is my go-to jacket for anything snow.
