I have been skiing with these for 2 seasons now in the maritimes, Canada. The snow we get is never consistent: ranging from mushy heavy stuff to hard ice. These skis have been able to handle it all. They are damp, and barely chatter - unfortunately that means they are less springy edge to edge. They grip on any surface when I turn, and also handled well in powder (on a few rare powder days). The interchangeable arms are a nice substitute to owning two pairs of skis. The difference of soft/hard arms are noticeable. Bindings are easily adjustable, and haven't let me down.
Strengths: Versatility, Holds a mean carve, stable and damp ski at speed
Weaknesses: Heavyish (edge to edge is not super quick)

The jacket is very well put together and on its own is sufficiently warm for most days. The chin guard is rubberized in the front against your chin and can be annoying fully zipped up (so I wear a neck gaiter) but beyond that it's comfortable. The microfleece is comfortable on cold skin, rather than being abrasive like many others in cold weather. The hood is roomy and has some insulation in it and a good field of view; probably too small for a helmet though. It has a wide range of movement without being baggy. I haven't tried it out in super wet conditions but it is totally windproof. The sleeve extensions are a nice touch with gloves.
Like most ski jackets, I worry about it's durability. A personal thing, but I'd rather have snaps in the front wind flap rather than velcro that wears out over time.
I wear a 42 or 44R suit, usually L sized clothing. 5'11 200 pounds. I bought this coat in M for something more form fitting, still no problems moving around. So far, its been an excellent coat for skiing and getting around in my town, which is one of the coldest capital cities in the world :)
