| Pros | Durable, weather resistant, stylish, breathable, refined | Warm and lofty insulation, breathable for an insulated jacket, very comfortable, good value | Warm, lofty insulation, soft, very mobile despite insulation, excellent comfort and fit | Durable, weather resistant, thoughtful design, excellent for ski touring | Relatively inexpensive yet high-quality, breathable, great mobility, great ventilation |
| Cons | Expensive, powder skirt non-removable | Runs a little large, no insulation on collar | Lackluster ventilation | Expensive, less ideal for regular resort use | Non-insulating, thin shell material, not for most casual skiers |
| Bottom Line | A high-tech, durable, and weather-resistant resort shell that stands out above the competition | This reasonably priced jacket is a top insulated performer in many categories | A super warm and soft resort jacket with a cool utilitarian look, this is perfect for someone who runs a little colder | This high end shell is a striking and thoughtfully designed piece for the avid backcountry skier | An excellent value for a high performing technical shell that serves inbounds or in the backcountry |
