Helly Hansen Men's Ullr D Shell Jacket

As someone who tends to run hot while snowboarding it was absolutely necessary for me to find a good lightweight alternative to my primary (heavyweight) jacket. Overall, I love the look and feel of this jacket and it's been great both on and off the hill. While it's not perfect, it does the trick! WARMTH: This is a true shell with zero insulation. Paired with my bombproof bibs and a long-sleeve base layer, this is great for touring or warmer days. Part of me wishes that the pit-zips had mesh, but I also like that they're open because it affords easy access to the chest pocket of my snow pants without unzipping the jacket. FIT: It's shorter than I anticipated, but the sleeves are a great length and it's baggy enough to layer and move around while riding without feeling like I bought the wrong size. The hood is HUGE! While it's nice that it fits over a helmet, I'm often trying to fold it up to avoid a parachute from forming behind my head. APPEARANCE: It's a sleek and simple shell with only the two side pockets and a hidden internal (insulated!) phone pocket in the chest. I like the pattern and colors, but I also like that it has hi-vis orange accents inside the hood and wrists; I do a fair amount of off-piste/backcountry riding, so I like this being an option without looking like I'm on traffic detail 24/7. MISC: I'm a packrat, so if I didn't already have pockets galore on my pants, I might want another one or two on this.
