Do you use a powder skirt?

**Dee Hubbs** · 10-24-2019, 01:43 PM

I assumed everyone used the powder skirt? But it sounds like many don't. Time for a poll!

It depends on the jacket and how well the skirt is designed. If it sits low and doesn't ride up if I lift my arms up for a classic swany backflip then I wear it. If it's up around my nipples every time I slap a high five it gets tucked away. If I'm wearing bibs I'm less likely to care either way.

I zip them out until I zip them in to use them. I like zip out ones and all my jackets have those. But I also have bibs and I really like zip off bibs. Is there a poll for that?

Jacket has it, but I never bother. Haven’t gotten wet in waist deep yet

Let the skirt speak for itself

This to a T.
And those norrona bibs are working out stellar, thanks.

Thats more of a “plow me” skirt.

I may be way out of my depth here but I don't that pic has a skirt in it at all. Instead, I think that's a dress.

For what it's worth, I wear bibs if it's really deep. I always find that the powder skirt rides up on me, prolly cuz my shitty technique has my arms flailing around so much...

**gregL** · 10-24-2019, 02:52 PM

Haven't owned a jacket with a powder skirt for at least 15 years, and don't miss it. Never remembered to snap it when I found powder anyway.

**skaredshtles** · 10-24-2019, 02:53 PM

I don't think I've ever owned a jacket with a powder skirt... in fact, I'm almost certain of it. What sort of jackets have these things?

I did have a NF shell that had an elastic drawcord around the waist-level, and another on the lower hem. Does that count?

The ones with media pockets, goggle pockets, RFID pass pockets, all kinds of zips, etc. They attract a certain segment of the buying public.

It has to be on a day that is deemed worthy for the skirt. 12"+ is usually when it comes out. Otherwise, It doesnt bother me to just let it hang.

Hell, my current jacket only has a drawcord on the lower hem. Seems sufficient...

That's kind of heartless thing to say man.

"Just let it hang" ? Seriously!

IV is still grieving for the loss of his pow skirt

**Cocximus** · 10-24-2019, 03:10 PM

Do they get tucked inside the pants or over the pants?

I like to make it a powder skirt thong. Keeps the important bits dry while providing nice support for tomahawking all over the mountain.

i wish i had enough days of pow deep enough to require such a device

**east or bust** · 10-24-2019, 03:23 PM

I find when skiing naked it’s a nice feature to have to cut the draft

Might not work with #futurelight though, too breathable

**AK47bp** · 10-24-2019, 03:36 PM

I always snap my skirt, it connects to my pants to help with my sag and when I want to dump heat I can unzip my jacket without it turning into a cape.

Plus when I stand over a sewer grate I can show off my camel toe.

I wear one because it's there. It snows a lot here but I have friends and customers that do cut them out.

+1.

Also, hip belt of pack serves this purpose.

I don't use them, but like Frank Costanza collects TV guides, I collect skirts. Hundreds if not thousands of them cluttering up the place.

**Kopi_Red** · 10-24-2019, 04:43 PM

I guess I'm not part of the kewl kids club. I use my powder skirt. I'm not a fan of draw cords as they tend to ride up and then sit above my ass.

**babybear** · 10-24-2019, 05:21 PM

I have a long wool skirt that I can ski in- altho not on powder days. all of a sudden you've gained like 20 lbs in snow weight

but I don't feel like jacket powder skirts work well for women- they always want to ride up to the true waist. which is the worst and then takes all the other layers up with it too
