I was unfamiliar with the brand until the US Ski team made that announcement.
Interesting to see what this partnership will look like.

I saw some in China/Shanghai in 2004! Yes, oddly precise recall.

I decided today I wanted a new insulated jacket. I have been wearing the same teal colored Patagonia Goretex insulated jacket with pit zips and primaloft for years. So I ordered this in amethyst :

I couldn't resist ! Usually I buy Patagonia but the colors are so boring the past few seasons.
BTW Patagonia jacket is in great shape and an extra small (not super small as can fit down sweater under it) and very pretty. I have bright green Marmot pants that look great with it. Jacket is in my avatar and many divas have seen me wear it! It could be for sale !

Forgot to mention I got 20% off one full price item!

Yes I did! The 8 and the 10. Store didn't carry them, but I can return to store and not pay shipping.
Here I am in the 10, with Taffy bibs. Hmm, it seems bibs are too long . . . whatever.
Jacket in the 8 was a bit binding across the shoulders, so I returned it.
I'd say Spyder is true to size, definitely not generous.
Jacket has slight design flaw in that the maybe 1/3 of cuff lining, same fabric as shell, tends to slide out, whether or not using wrist gaiter, so I have to tuck it back in once jacket is on. You can just see it at my right hand in the photos. It’s not because sleeves are too short; happens in both 8 and 10. I love other aspects so I’m overlooking the flaw, but it is annoying given the price and how exact most of the other features are.
Also, try as I might I cannot turn this 90 degrees. Opened and saved to hard drive etc etc. Moderator please help.

If I'd seen that jacket in Baby Trooper (light blue), I might've opted for that instead of the Spyder!
Too many excellent choices!

I also liked the light blue. Backcountry ships fast as in Utah so think I'll get by Wednesday. Can't wait ! Taos is so cold (for a west coaster like me) so prefer a warm insulated technical jacket. Also liked the Black Diamond Recon insulated shell jacket but liked the HH colors better. Hmm they might clash with my periwinkle/purple-ish bibs. Have also been looking at another pair of bibs. Need to stop looking.

Jacket arrived today and is beautiful! So many bells and whistles, even a pocket designed to preserve battery life! It's insulated, pit zips, recco, 20 k
waterproofing..... Just what I wanted to replace my Patagonia...
But, what to wear with it? It's basically purple (a nice purple)...... seems to go with my Strafe purple shell pants (too matchy matchy) and also magenta Kjus pants. Foxy bibs are more periwinkle but looks okay together. But then I saw these in the beet color and I did say I want another pair of bibs, didn't I?

Matchy Matchy is ok! I like to be matchy matchy sometimes Its cohesive looking ......
but that's not helping with the enabling - you wanted to hear: 'yes those bibs are exactly what you need'!
