Nikita Mayon Jacket - Women's

Item #NKA1035 | 2 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Nice jacket, sweet detailing - mind the sizing

By Ranked #85 - Women's Snowboard Jackets December 6, 2012

So I initially ordered an XL because according to the size chart this would be ideal for layering etc. I've got wide hips, so I usually have to get an XL in most brands (especially Burton). So it arrived and I tried it on and it looked like I was wearing my boyfriends jacket! It was much too big. The shape is very boxy, not tapered like most other brands are doing now. I re-ordered in large and it's still a bit baggy around the middle, so I could probably swing a medium. I like my jackets roomy and since it isn't really an insulated jacket, I want to be able to layer if I need to - I'll stick with the large. If you want more of a tighter street fit, I would suggest 2 sizes down than what you usually wear. Luckily this jacket is very stylish so it looks pretty dope even if it's baggy.

Nice color, nice details, fairly light and has some super cozy sherpa in it. I probably wouldn't buy this if you're looking to go out in sub-zero temps, unless you layer a lot. I like to layer, so this is perfect. Just be sure to order at least 1 size smaller than what you would in Burton/Foursquare/Special Blend.
