What's this?

Anyone got a recommendation for a ski jacket?

As I've mentioned here several times, I've lost a lot of weight in the last year. Which also means none of my clothes fit anymore.

One thing I need to replace is my ski jacket. And yes, I do ski, so I'd like a jacket made for skiing, not just a cold weather coat.

I tried the local stores, but the pickings are pretty slim as they have already switched over to spring sports gear.

Would driving to Wintergreen or Winterplace to hit the Ski Barn be worth the trip at this point in the season, or am I stuck buying online? I hate spending hundreds on a coat without being able to try it on first.

Agree on the Columbia. -- swordsman1 02/05/2019 09:39AM

My take on Columbia -- EDGEMAN 02/05/2019 12:24PM

Ski Barn near resort probably good bet -- pburg_hokie 02/05/2019 08:59AM

How often are you going? -- ElbertoHokie 02/05/2019 08:09AM

If he goes arc teryx, $500 is probably the absolute minimum price -- EDGEMAN 02/05/2019 08:28AM

For sure you do. It's all a use thing. If you're going to get the mileage -- ElbertoHokie 02/05/2019 09:30AM

Yep, OR has really good stuff too. ** -- EDGEMAN 02/05/2019 12:14PM
