Money. Awesome shell! Breaths great and the slim fit stays out of the way when you're making turns. I spent an entire day skiing in heavy wet snow and the jacket never faltered. Kept me dry and it didn't have that clammy feel you get with other shells. Really satisfied with the purchase and it comes in significantly cheaper than most shells that offer this quality. Marmot raised the bar again with incredible quality for a semi-affordable price.

Recommended Purchased the Torre on Dec 2008. Very nice material. Tried it on some very freezing rain and it holds up well, even when it's windy. Haven't tried it on snow yet, but should be no problem. The jacket is a little stiff especially on the left arm where the additional pocket is. But the overall fit is good (5'10, 170lb, 40chest) and got a medium. The one thing that worries me is the stitching. The stitching are all exposed outside the jacket. It looks very nice, but it's not goretex stitching. Jacket do rides up a little, 1-2 inches when you raise your arm up.

Solid Construction; OK Design Overall, this is a great jacket. However, in my opinion, it's more of a mountaineering or hiking jacket than a skiing jacket. It would probably be perfect for someone who likes to hike or skin their way up and then ski down. But I bought this to serve as my primary ski jacket (mostly resort, but some backcountry), and for that purpose, there are probably better options for the price. This jacket has no side pockets (i.e. hand-warmer pockets); it only has the two Napoleon pockets. While the Napoleon pockets are fine for storage, I'm used to sticking my hands in my pockets on lifts (to keep warm), or at sporting events, or just walking around town. Also, I'm not a big fan of the hood being integrated into the collar without being stowable. It provides great neck coverage when zipped-up, so it's great on cold days. But on warm days, if you want to unzip a little bit, the collar and hood just kinda flop-around. I prefer a hood that is either removable, stowable, or at the very least, set-back off the collar away from your face. Here's my summary: PRO's: very solid construction and feel, Gore-Tex weatherproofing and breathability, slightly stretchy, helmet-compatible hood, awesome color (Raven), zip-off powder skirt, and pit-zips. CON's: Napoleon pockets only...no side pockets (i.e. handwarmer pockets); hood is not removable or stowable, making it awkward if you like to unzip at the neck to cool down.
