Spyder Powder Shell Jacket

Men's Clothing > Jackets & VestsRated: *** by 2 reviews.

Massey's Outfitters

We came as close to including a snorkel on this powder-loving shell as we could. When the snow's flying, the high collar protects you from face shots, but laser perforated vents allows your breath to escape without fogging your goggles. Safety features like a RECCO® Avalanche Rescue System reflector, SOS lining and safety whistle are included, but won't help you when your sweetheart finds out you've been ignoring her calls all day while skiing in a secret powder stash. Full Time Hood. Collar Laser Perforated Ventilation. Powder Skirt with Custom Snaps, Gripper Elastic and Lycra Panel for Ease of Movement. Geometric Expansion. Fully Taped Seams. Recco® Avalanche Rescue System. Helmet Compatible Hoods. Ventilation Zippers. Waterproof Zippers. Laser Cut and Welded Construction Details. Multiple Exterior Pockets. Internal Mesh Goggle Pocket. Internal Electronics Pocket with Cord Loop. "Flasher" Internal Pass Pocket. Powder Skirt with Custom Snaps, Gripper Elastic and Lycra Panel for Ease of Movement. Snap Back Feature Holds Powder Skirt Away When Not in Use. Brushed Micro Fiber Inner Collar. Movable Custom Chamois Lens Wipe on Carabiner with Shock Cord. S.O.S. Whistle. Internal Drawcord at Hem. Key Holder Clasp in Pocket. Custom Spyder Logo. 3L Dobby with Tricot Backing and XT.L 20,000mm Membrane and Spylon+ Water Repellent Finish. Abrasion Resistant Polyester Oxford Weave.

Great jacket with a couple of caveats

Rating:*****
I got this jacket this season and I love it. The pockets are great, the hood is great. I love the glasses cloth in the front pocket. It is a bit bulky for a backcountry jacket, but it has all the props, so I think it's worth it. The one problem is that it seems to fray a little. I think this is the weird sewn design. It doesn't really affect performance but is slightly ugly. The pass ID holder is also in a slight difficult place if you still have a pass you have to show. It also is really bright orange!

Spyder what were you thinking!!!!!!

Rating:*
I have numerous Spyder jackets and other clothing. I buy Spyder because of their high quality and function.Spyder missed the boat on this jacket. The seams on the jacket are not sewn together correctly. They are in a big ill fitting bunch of material. There are different zipper pulls and the pockets are mismatched. The jacket should have turned out to be a great design. The jacket has the typical Spyder designs--4 front pockets, internal pocket, goggle pocket. However, it is a bad design. Two pockets are of seperate material that sticks out from the coat and the other 2 are flush with the coat! One side of the coat has excess material hanging over that appears to be a cantalever (reason unknown). It looks like a coat made from a kit after drinking a case of beer!They give you a giant pocket key clip that will hold 20 pounds of keys. Yet give you a tiny (being cheap) goggle cloth vs other Spyder jackets that give you a large cloth that is also designed as a sunglass case.The value and quality is not there for a[$] list jacket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
