All in all, a good jacket

Rating:****

I ordered this jacket for my husband for our upcoming ski trip to Switzerland. He wanted a 3-in-1 jacket so that he could use the shell on chilly, wet days. We chose this one because of the down liner (vs. the Columbia Lhotse which has a fleece liner). My husband is 5'9'', 170 lbs, with about a 32'' waist. We got him a medium. The down liner is a bit short and is somewhat tight through the hips, but has plenty of room for arm and shoulder movement. He really likes the shell, and the fact that the vents under the arms open completely to the liner, with no "vent" fabric at all. His few complaints are that there is no specific place to store the hood once removed, so you'll have to use the goggle pocket or leave it at home. Also, the liner does NOT zip into the shell, but is a completely seperate jacket. They only attach with buttons at the neck and wrists to keep the liner from bunching. You still have to zip each layer separately. (The Columbia website says they zip together, though Backcountry does not.) All in all, it's a really nice coat, espcially for the price. I'd recommend it, provided that you understand the layers don't zip together, which is the only reason it got 4 stars instead of 5.
