Although this jacket is just a shell its really quite warm,riding the slopes of Whistler wearing anything more than just a long sleeve thermal seems to be way too much. This IS NOT a lightweight jacket either... I find it very heavy, and still quite stiff after 2 seasons of wear.

The accents of leather just give this a little extra that other outwear does not have. I wear volcom in medium tops normally. This medium was a bit big and baggy on me. That might be the style they are going for. The fabric is really durable as well. I love the contrasting pattern to solid colors and leather. Great coat, very warm, I got really hot just having it on and not just hot from being so stylish!

This is a really stylish jacket. I bought this jacket in the khaki/brown, and the leather accents definitely make this jacket stand out. As far as features go, it has the standard pockets for your ipod and pass, as well as a powder skirt. It runs a bit large, but gives you plenty of room to layer up (which is great, since this jacket seems to be just a shell). My only complaint is that the ribbed part of the jacket is way too tight on my waist, which eventually tends to ride up. But other than that, it's a sweet jacket, on and off the slopes.
