Jacket thickness is perfect for spring skiing. Some jackets are just too thin. The layout for the multiple pockets is the best of any ski jacket I have owned. A place for the ski pass on the sleeve. Small inner pocket for cash and credit cards. Large front pockets with zippers that work in both directions to keep items from falling out when you are on the chairlift. Large right inside open pocket to put ski straps. Ventilation zippers for the warm days.
The shell is well constructed and has held up well for me this season. The design is solid and the pockets are big and easy to access. Where this shell really loses points is on the collar. It is not stiff enough to stand up without the hood up and provides minimal protection for the neck compared to jackets of similar price point. The collar collapses on itself and I find myself adjusting more often than any other jacket I’ve owned.
The Nomad jacket is one of my favorites. The jacket has lots of style and function, I really like the long cut and relax fit. The new eVent fabric is awesome! The breathability and waterproofness has really impressed me this year, it has replaced my desire to use gore-tex products.
5'10" 170lbs size medium I have a big head and fat neck, and this shell fits great! The zippers are all in a great place and it's warm but breathable and windproof!
