"Worth the money, excellent ski jacket."
I purchased this jacket for the opening weekend at Snowshoe. I was replacing an older jacket that just didn't have a lot of features. This jacket was warm and, more importantly, dry. I wore this with a thin base layer and a light shirt. I was warm and dry with winds in the 10 - 20 mph range and temperatures as low as the teens. Plenty of pockets to carry everything I need and when I got to hot just undid the arm vents to cool down. The ski instructors even commented on how they liked my jacket better than the ones Snowshoe supplied them. Most other jackets with similar breathability and waterproof were at least a $100 more.

"A lot of bang for your buck."
Plenty of features for the die-hard skier or boarder. 20K windproof, waterproof and breathability. I believe it has a full 100g insulation in arms as well. Not mentioned above are: rear tail is slightly longer (1"); car key bungee cord with clip in right hand warmer pocket; bungee in exterior chest pocket for a camera possibly. ipod mesh with Velcro in chest pocket, and ear phone pass through to inside of jacket. 2 large interior mesh pockets with Velcro for goggles or extra gear. Interior pass pocket folds out at bottom for lift line attendants visibility. Hood is also slightly insulated and helmet ready. Collar is fully lined and insulated. Karbon has just about thought of everything.
However... I would have gave it 5 stars but a few things I didn't like: Pocket access flap openings for hand warmers are facing forward. They will grab snow, wind and rain in inclement weather and zips are not waterproof. Elastics for wrist are a little loose and lack a thumb hole to keep tight over hands when snow gets up your sleeves. Still, Karbon makes some of the best jackets in the outdoor biz.
