Redesigned for this winter season, the RPK Jacket for Men, part of the RPK collection, gives you the extra protection you need for inclement conditions; a storm sealing hood and collar cinch, stretch powder skirt with snap in pant system, and bonded water resistant zippers. Built with GORE-TEX Soft Shell fabric, which is warmer, softer and more supple than standard GORE-TEX, the RPK Jacket breathes freely when you're overheated on the skin to the top and seals up as you turn in the powder on the way down. When thing really heat up, the RPKs two-way pit zip provide advance ventilation and an integrated electronics pocket with cord portal harbors motivating iPod tunes. A leashed pass pocket assures that you have your key to ride the park, bumps, powder, or steeps.
Great Jacket
Just purchase the jacket. Looks good feels nice. Hoping to test it out soon.
Very nice shell
I have worn the shell for about a week and a half. Bombproof in the cold and on blower days. The large fits well, I'm 6', 180 lbs. Material is tough and stands up to the abuse of skiing Utah's inbounds and out. Could use some improvement: the neck adjustment is kinda in the way in the back of the neck, should place it at the sides or just make it smaller. The collar is a bit short and material does not stay up. The waterproof zips do not glide that easily. With time I think the zips and the rest of the jacket will break in quite nicely. Also wish the pit zips were a bit longer for skinning and warm spring days. I'm very satisfied with it overall and would strongly recommend it if you ski hard and want a shell that will stand up in all extremes.
Fantastic Shell
Bought this winter 08/09, and it is a fantastic all around outdoor shell. Totally waterproof yet very breathable. Bomb proof fabric has taken several hits on tree limbs and rocks and no abrasions or tears at all. I ski with this daily in wide range of conditions from -20 below and blowing winds to warm spring conditions, and it handles it all. I usually wear a large, but a medium is perfect fit for me in this jacket due to generous cut and well designed shoulders/arms. Would strongly recommend
Fantastic Jacket
I bought this to use for storm skiing in Utah and it was great. It kept me dry and warm with a minimum of layers and is very comfortable.
Perfect
This jacket is the complete package. I purchased this in June, so I have not been able to really test it out yet, but the fit is perfect and the durability seems top of the line.
