After wearing it once in the snow, I found this jacket to be incredibly warm. I wore a base layer and a middle layer underneath, and with this jacket, it was more than enough. The snow skirt tightened perfectly, keeping snow out, and its waterproof performance is top-notch. I own two Burton AK jackets (the first one got worn out after the first time skiing), and compared to AK, I personally prefer this one. It offers great value for money, looks better, and has more pockets. In summary, I really like it!
