Hi, could i use this jacket for snowboarding. I'm looking for a well fitting lighter option than the usual big heavy parker like snowboard jackets.

thanks

Sorry but the Extreme would be far too warm and restrictive for snow boarding in my opinion.

Hi,

The Extreme is very warm. In my opinion too warm for all year round use. Great for winter or cold conditions but it is hard to imagine being useful during the summer unless you plan to travel somewhere very cold.

The Montane Flux is better suited to year round use.

Regards

@HikeLiteUK - could you recommend a good smock/jacket for me to look at? as i said the usual snowboard jacket is too big and bulky. thanks

[mailtostu]

I have one of these and they are far too hot for anything active. They are very heavy and not really packable either, so i would say try before you buy. Excellent for walking the dog in winter. Great review though.

would this jacket/smock be suitable for 3 seasons, such as going for a short walk in the spring / autumn as well as for winter?

also does anyone know what the jacket version is like in terms of venting zips?

This jacket is a life support system, awesome.

if you were giving an unbiased view, is this better than a synthetic jacket for full yearly use
