A storm day that keeps snowing all afternoon asks a ski jacket to stay warm without stiffening up, and the Fire+Ice Tinka3-T Jacket meets it with a 2. 5-layer shell that repels water, breathes, and stretches in four directions. A quilted liner with synthetic filling holds the warmth in this insulated jacket, while taped seams help keep the weather out. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"All day in deep snow, the stretch let me reach and plant poles without the sleeves pulling at my shoulders, and the cuffs with thumb loops stayed down under my gloves. When I fell, the snow guard kept snow from creeping up my back, so I never had to stop and shake out my layers."
