    WTB: insulated resort jacket, size M

    I'm kinda broke, so can't afford to walk into a store and buy off the rack (and the pandemic makes that additionally problematic). But I'm finding myself colder on the hill these days, compounded by the fact that I ski a really fucking cold resort and my daughter is in ski racing and there's lots of standing around in the cold. So I am looking for a well-insulated jacket for the resorts, I'm tired of wearing 4 layers under a shell every day (I have something else for touring). I don't mind being a little too warm and opening vents or unzipping the jacket.

    I'm a fairly normal size medium, 5'9", 165.

    Non-negotiable Requirements:
    • Insulated (with pit zips for venting)
    • Pass pocket (upper arm or wrist)
    • Helmet worthy hood for my big head (see here)


    I'm not super picky about color/style, but I am a 50+ year old guy, so I do have my limits.

    I'd say that my max price is $150 for something that was awesome, but would prefer cheaper (and would much prefer much cheaper).

    I bought something last year off of here, and it is working ok (better than what I had before, but is far from perfect), so I'm not in a hudge rush to buy the first thing that pops up, but would like to get something that allows me to stop looking.

    I didn't believe in reincarnation when I was your age either.

    Thanks Mikey! But their insulated resort jackets are too pricey, even with 40% off.

    Medium, Gore-Tex, Insulated, pit zips and giant hood; you'll get use to the color. I think my son wore it one season.
