Good points:
+ Well made, with good quality components (the zips are YKK) that are easy to use with gloves on
+ Very warm and lightweight
+ Elasticated hand sleeves keep the cold air out
+ Subtle branding
+ Customisable (the fake fur lining and the hood can both be removed)
+ Variety of pockets (one has a rubberised headphone lead exit point, with a cable tidy further up inside the jacket lining, another has an integrated ski goggle cleaning cloth attached with a piece of elastic ribbon).
+ Efficiently water resistant
+ Internal elasticated snow skirt keeps the cold out if you want to use it.
+ Elasticated pullstrings around the hood opening and also inside going around where the back of the head would be, really help to get a nice warm tight fit for the head.
Bad points:
- The colour feels a bit bright for the dull English London winter. Much better surrounded by white snow.
- After a while, the stitching around the thumb holes in the hand sleeves pulled quite uncomfortably on my thumbs; it needs a bit of padding. I stopped using the thumbholes because of this.
- no reflective strips or patches
- the very high density of the weave means that stains are very stubborn
Overall, a good value jacket - a well thought out design, constructed with quality materials and components. It's very warm but not uncomfortably so. Great on the slopes.
Edit 19-03-15: I washed it at 40 degrees as recommended today and it came out very nicely. It dried very quickly, too. I suspect that the badge decorations will be the only part of the coat that eventually shows wear, although it did also cause the paint on the handles of the zips on the cuffs to chip off, too.
Edit 06-05-15: One of the hood strings has become detached from it's anchor ribbon on the coat, leaving it hanging loose. These stitches do look rather weak, albeit with hindsight.

Cuffs with soft and elastic thumb holes on both sides keep the wind or snow from entering your sleeves. On the waistline the snow-skirt, which can be closed with press studs or detached, prevents snow from being pushed up from underneath the jacket. |
Three outer zip pockets and one with press studs offer plenty of space for your little bits and pieces. There is also a ski pass pocket on the sleeve. |
Two internal zip pockets, one with rubberised headphone port and a second port near the collar, make integrated and secure headphone cable management possible. The internal mesh pocket is ideal for ski goggle and glove storage. There is a removable lens cleaning cloth attached to the mesh pocket with a bungee cord so that you can keep your ski goggles clean. |
