I just picket up the last black large Burst jacket in stock, and I'm glad I did. It hasn't snowed yet, so I haven't used it on the slopes, but I'll give my review so far. I'm 6'3" 140 lbs and I tried on the large and xl at the retail store. I felt like I was swimming in the xl, and I like my jackets pretty baggy. The powder skirt comes down below my tush and the jacket goes down about a third of my thigh. The sleeves come a few inches below my wrists, which is perfect, and the wrist gaiters are comfortable and don't feel short at all. They extend a few inches past the edge of the sleeves. It has a little bit of insulation, and the liner is soft, so it won't feel like a cold mummy bag when you first put it on. I have plenty of room with the hood for my helmet to go underneath. The blue accents on the black jacket are baby blue, not cyan, which I was hoping for.
So far, my only complaint is that the it only has outer cargo pockets, meaning you don't have a natural pocket to put your hands in if you're wearing the jacket around town. Definitely wasn't a deal breaker, though, cause this is a sweet jacket.
