Sweet, will do. I'll check thier line up as soon as I get back from work today.

By the way- what sessions jacket do you have Grim?

Those wrist things are called wrist gaiters and I personally find them annoying. I've had them on my previous Dub Weathergear jackets, a Palmer jacket and I believe an older 686 had them. I don't like them because they don't work well with undercuffs but are awesome for overcuff gloves.

Another brand that's very good is Special Blend... they tend to have a lot of pockets on their gear

Last year's Sessions Surveillance Jacket - 2 Layer Gortex - 30,000mm waterproofing. I counted 9 pockets including the sleeve for a water reservoir.

I am pretty impressed w/ the DC Hertz so far this year. I have been out in some slop and it still keeps me dry and warm. Tons of pockets and a built in ninja mask as well.

I'm in the same boat as well, I can never seem to find all the features I want in one jacket at a reasonable price. I have an old Firefly jacket with all the options I want, removable hood, powder skirt, removable fleece lining, waterproof shell, adjustable sleeve and hem, underarm and wrist vents, hand pockets and chest pockets, interior cell phone pocket, etc, etc, except its well-worn and a little short in the sleeves now. I figured since I want to give snowboarding a try, I might as well buy some nice outdoor gear as even if I don't stick with it, hey, new snow gear is always useful. I saw some of those Sessions jackets, how does this look?

That is a nice jacket.

Hooray I got my jacket! I now know how hard it is to shop for a jacket entirely online. I went into a boardshop up in the mountains- and found the perfect jacket after a small search of thier wares. They didn't have one in my size though so I found one online and had it shipped. After testing it this weekend through all conditions (icy and freezing, slushy and warm, and untouched powder in perfect weather) I can say I am completely happy with my purchase! I ended up with a 686 Smarty Uzi Jacket in chocolate.

Not only does it have a powder skirt and wrist gaiters, but an amazing inner liner, and a total of sixteen pockets! Some of those include a media pocket, a radio pocket, a silk-lined goggle stash pocket (complete with a snap-in goggle shammy), and what I like to call a "lighter pocket") Its very warm, waterproof, has amazing functionality, and even looks good. Love it.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys- it helped me see what all was out there
