LL Bean Gore-Tex shell

[The SnowShow]

Does anyone have experience with LL Bean goretex shells? I’m looking at this one (3 layer goretex) and wondering if it would work well for a shell for inbounds skiing:

Medium tall size is compelling on it's own for me

Not to hijack the OP’s thread, but if you’re needing medium tall, could also check out Eddie Bauer

Is the LL Bean shell a more of a rain jacket than ski jacket?

Wait, my Helly Hansen ski jacket isn’t actually a ski jacket because it has a one-way zipper?

The product description specifically mentions skiing, and snow, so they obviously don’t consider it to be a rain jacket. However it does seem to be more of a general purpose jacket, not ski specific.

Yep, their stuff is fine. If it fits it'll be great for you.

The cuts can be American in their sizing. Meaning if you take a L or XL and don’t have a big belly might feel a bit boxy
