I have never bought from Escape Outdoors before so I was a little leery but they far exceeded my expectations. They shipped the fastest out of anyone I have ordered from recently. Now the jacket, you have to know, has matching overalls that also come in petite. You may have to search for it.
So I did test the jacket out recently which felt lighter than the overalls so I thought how will this even work? I wore a LT hoodie from Arcteryx and the bibs and this jacket in 30 degree snowing weather. I did not get wet at all now cold. The hood was awesome as I could pull it over my helmet and tighten it up because the snow was getting heavy. When I got hot I unzipped the underarms. I used the goggle wipe in the sleeve as well. This jacket really is well-designed for skiing. I was jealous of my son’s so I had to get one too. My only wish was it also came in petite. The sleeves are slightly long on me but there isn’t a sleeve seam up at the shoulder so it is less obvious that it isn’t a petite. Usually the seam will be way off the shoulder if so.
