"Superb Jacket"
Pros: Perfect fit, Durable, RECCO system
Cons: Hoodie is small,
I bought a Large size for this jacket in the Tang (orange) and I am in love with it.
As stated above it has a perfect fit for me, loose but not too baggy. I am 186kg and 65kg (on the slim side).
It has the recco system, which is pretty much a whistle as the main zipper. You could also use it as a rape whistle when 'that inappropriate friend' touches you in some places.
I don't get much time on the snow but i have used this jacket for 10 days and it has no signs of wearing at all (I take care of my equipment).
Also is very lightweight and cheap (imo)for its 20k waterproofing. It's only 12k breath-ability but I didn't wet due to sweat (I was out non-stop for my days of boarding). It does a great job of what it is supposed to.
It also has mittens attached to the sleeves of the jacket which you can hide into the sleeve. I don't use this as i use gloves but you maybe able to use it to double up on mittens for extra cold days or if you have lower quality mittens. Alliteratively if you ever lose your gloves on the lift or something you could use it. They are pretty thin, so i don't imagine them keeping you too warm, also the snow seems to stick to it really easy.
Also has a great number of pockets. Has enough for essentials and a lift pass (I dislike having too many pockets)
Only real downside to this jacket is the hoodie. I couldn't really use the hoodie because i had a hard time pulling it over my head with a beanie on. I do however have a larger head compared to most people.
A really good jacket and totally recommend it to people out there. Pretty cheap for it's 20k waterproofing and has a few extra features. And I am pretty sure you can ship internationally with 'Sessions', so that's a plus if you are not from the states (like me).

"Great Jacket"
Pros: Warm enough, Stylin', Fits good
Cons: Stupid Mittens get in the way,
I just get this jacket this year and love it! The only thing that bugs me about this jacket is the stupid built in mittens. They are not warm what so ever and are really big when in your jacket. Otherwise a A+ Jacket

"Great Jacket"
Pros: cool colors avaliable, warm, heavier than most shell jackets I own, sleeve can act as a goggle wipe
Cons: mittens,
This jacket fits very well, stays warm and breathable. The mitten is built into the sleeve and can not be removed (which I believe to be the only drawback of this jacket) however it conceals fairly well. The wind/powder skirt keeps you extra warm when the conditions are bad. The thumb comes out of the sleeve of the jacket, if you don't want to use the mitten you tuck the thumb into a pocket on the sleeve and fold the part for your fingers inside of the sleeve and attach it to a piece of velcro. The thumb of mitten is made of a soft material which serves as a great goggle wiper on the end of your sleeve. There is also a something which I can best describe as a gauntlet inside of the sleeve. I thought I was going to hate it but I found it pretty useful--it does a great job of keeping the snow out of your gloves and off of your skin.

"Stylish Jacket, Durable materials"
Pros: Lots of pockets, emergency whistle, Durable materials, Recco, Stylish colorways
Cons: Integrated gloves - not comfy & not necessary, Not too warm - can also be a pro actually!, Mmm that's about it...
Purchased this jacket last spring for a really nice price. Haven't been wearing it on the slopes yet, but it has the look and feel of a good Sessions product. My last jacket was a Sessions too and it kept me warm and dry for quite a lot of winters. Hope this one does the same thing.
Colorways are fresh and correspond to how they are depicted on the website. I got the vivid blue one, which should be good to combine with different other colors - both dark and clear.
W/ respect to the sizing, I bought a size S because this really fits like a Medium. If you want to go for that extra baggy look, get the size that would normally correspond to you. If you're not sure about it just drop by your local shop and try the different sizes they have.
Nice technical jacket, nice fit!

"Great shell, many features"
Pros: Mittens, Very waterproof, Bright Colours
Cons: Mittens can come out easily,
This jacket is very good, i ride in australia and on powder days i still don't need to wear much underneath it. The in built mittens can easily come out which can be annoying and frustrating but other than that there seems to be no other problems. The sleeves work very well for keeping out snow and the vents and many features like in built mittens are perfect for spring riding and laps in the park.
Overall I find this jacket very usefull and great to have, I have found sessions to be a very reliable brand with high quality gear year after year so I will probably buy their brand again next year.

"Sweet so far!"
Pros: recco system, lightwieght, looks good
Cons: less pockets, glove things it has,
just got this in the mail a couple hours ago. it fit just about how i wanted it to, it just a shell but in the northwest thats how i like it so i can layer depending on the day. i wish it had a couple more pockets but should not be something that stops you from buying. the glove things it has on it seem kinda rediculas but i might grow on them we will see. overall i would say a very solid jacket, cant wait to use it next year!

"Feature packed shell jacket was almost everything I wanted"
Pros: Insane features, Good waterproofing, Lightweight
Cons: Fit wasn't exactly what I wanted, but still good, Color combo was eh,
When I first got the jacket, I immediatley noticed some features that I have never seen on any other jacket I own or have seen. There are plenty of pockets for you to stash your iPod, tool, extra lens, keys, camera, etc. The jacket also comes equipped with an emergency whistle that doubles as the main zipper...how cool is that?
It is lightweight and with 20k waterproofing, the only thing better is Goretex. The mesh lining actually help breathability so I never overheated. Being a shell, the jacket is light enough to wear on it's own in the Spring or you can layer up and be just fine on those bitter winter whiteout days.
The green is bright and just like it is pictured. My few gripes are that I am not really fond of the black areas on the jacket. If it were all green, it would be perfect. Also, the jacket is just a tad baggy and long for my taste. But that's probably only me as I don't like jackets too baggy or long. For comparison sake, I own a Burton 3L Hover and this is just about as long, but a littler baggier around the torso.
Overall, it's a great jacket at a great price ($130 when I bought it) and you can't beat the price for a 20K waterproofing jacket!
