“I'm really happy I bought this jacket. I only had it for a month before I tried it on three different mountains with completely different elements. People don't know but it snows a lot in Arizona. I skied through a blizzard in Flagstaff and was warm, and dry, the entire time. I then went to Utah to ski Park City and Deer Valley and I was so warm. It was a mix of sunny and snowy conditions so I was using the vents to cool off, and zipping up when it came down. The pockets are so handy I had room for everything with some to spare. I am a filmmaker so it was nice being able to put all of my GoPro batteries that are charged in one pocket, and the used in another. If you are going to be skiing for more than a year, make the investment, and buy this jacket. I can't wait to buy matching ski pants. :-)”
“In my world at 6’9” it’s very difficult to find a parka that fits properly. Northwest Tech did a fine job crafting me a custom fit. Excellent work on all of the seams and liner. The two week turnaround was outstanding being middle of ski season.
Very Impressed

“I love my jacket! I am 5’3”, 140 lbs, and I got a medium. They run a bit smaller than your average unisex sizing I would say. The measurements are very accurate, but for the ladies- ignore the chest measurement and go with your instincts. The material is great and I love the pass pocket in the wrist area. Only regret is that I wish I had included pit zips! Very stoked on this jacket.”

I get compliments all the time. A girl just yelled to me from a chairlift “Hey I like your jacket!”
Just a couple issues: the under arm vents are awkwardly placed, tough to reach. The main zipper is only one-way, so you have to hike your jacket up or totally unzip it in various off-slope situations. Lastly, the top of the zipper kind of gets jammed and can’t close it al the way, just due to the small cloth covering meant to cover the top of the zipper.
If you aren’t fussy like me and you tend to just put your jacket on and you don’t mess with it again until the end of the day, then these are non-issues.
Overall I am so happy to wear this coat.”
“I’m really happy I decided to go local. When looking for jackets I searched specifically for something I can design to describe who i am. It is incredible to be able to wear your personality.”
