oh boy.....Been called a "beacon, a creamsicle" and a host of other interesting titles, but my wife liked the jacket and Ron was all but getting out his credit card, and heck...I too liked it so, I treated myself.

Descente makes a nice jacket, pockets in all the right places as well as zippers.

I have found that it takes more attention to cleaning and sometimes when zipping the pockets, the zippers znag...no biggie though.

The pockets are deep, easy to get to, it vents well, is warm enough for western 7 degree days. In the east, I need one additional mid layer or wind block.....and yes....it's easy to see, so skiiing poorly is not an opition.

Family and friends can spot me easily even in the fog we had at Steamboat.

And Jim.....next time we ski together....you can try on the whole shibang.....I'm thinking orange could be your color too!
