Strengths:
Great colour blocking! Love the colour way, the length of the jacket and the depth of the hood.
Weaknesses:
No external music pocket (have to open jacket to access music source), hip pocket zippers are on the top (not the most convenient, top zip would be more functional), the bottom band rides up when in the pipe or in the deep snow (not powder appropriate), sleeve cuffs are covered by most glove/mitt cuffs. No storm cuff, lining of the base-layer part of the jacket matches the external temperature (cold until you start riding). No attachment for internal and external jackets.
Summary:
All show, some go. I do love the jacket, but mostly for the look, and not the function.
