I received this jacket in Japan within 7 days after my order. I'm happy that I got it earlier than I expected. So, I hurried to ski field to try new jacket. Design is cool and outstanding. The cost is low, but performance is high. I'm 6',tall as a Japanese so it's hard to find suitable size in Japan. Size M fits me just fine. Drop down lift ticket holder is convenient and lots of inner pockets,hidden functions makes it fun. Totally I'm quite satisfied with this cool jacket. Finally, I thank Altrec.com for accepting my order from Japan.

superb jacket. Great performance and design
