On a morning that starts below freezing and warms up by lunch, the Samuel Ski Jacket adjusts twice without a layer change, with a drawcord hem that cinches against the cold and Velcro tab cuffs that loosen as the sun climbs. This recycled down ski jacket also has a removable snap hood with an adjustable drawcord storm visor, so the hood stays on for storms and comes off when the weather clears. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"Through a day that started cold and finished warm, the recycled down held its warmth on the first chairlifts, and the stretch shell kept moving with me when I pushed hard in the afternoon. I did not swap layers all day. The shell is water resistant and not waterproof, so in wet snow I wear a shell over it."
