The Patagonia Men's Snowshot Jacket matches the spontaneity of slopestyle, big air and halfpipes. The supple fabric package includes a 2-layer shell made of 150-denier 100% polyester with a herringbone weave for durability. It has a waterproof/breathable H2No barrier and a Deluge DWR (durable water repellent) finish to keep you dry when you're flying through mucky weather. A light 100% polyester mesh lines the body and sleeves for a smooth glide over layers. Articulated arms let you move naturally and pit zips provide a quick-venting option when you're working up steam. Weather sealing features include a removable, helmet-compatible hood, a chamois-lined collar with a neck gasket to protect from wind blasts, and an adjustable powder skirt (with webbing loops that connect to any Patagonia Ski/Snowboard pants). your soundtrack goes in a chest pocket; handwarmer pockets hold a beer at the end of the day. Recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program.

Snowshot
Before purchasing I spoke with a Patagonia rep about sizing. He advised me to purchase the large based on my husbands measurements (6'4", 210lbs, 46L). I bought the extra large instead, and I'm glad that I did because it fits him perfectly. My husband claims that the jacket performs just as Patagonia advertises.
Performs and looks great
This jacket performed great under under several conditons. It kept me dry when it rained, when it snowed heavy in white-out conditions. The powder skirt and hoody are adjustable and work perfectly when I fell in deep powder. I used the hoody to cover the helmet when it rained and under heavy snow, the hoody fits just right and kept my head dry. This jacket is basically a shell, it doesn't provide much insulation, so you need to layer up when it's cold. The lack on insulation is a plus when it's warm, and it has huge pit zips under the arms. There is a bit of insulation in the hand warmer pockets and around the neck, which is a great feature. The chest pocket can carry a MP3 player or cell and has plenty of room for more stuff, and it's easy to access. This jacket fits a bit baggy, big and loose, it provides freedom of movement and plenty of room for several layers. The zipppers need improvement, as they tended to get stuck, and it would be better to have a adjustment strap around the collar to keep it tight around the neck. The zippers should also have a larger cord for easier adjustment when using gloves. Overall, this is the best snowboarding jacket I've had, and it also looks great, strongly recommend!
Loose fit, excellent jacket
I really like this jacket and Patagonia's H2NO can't be beat. I like that it is not insulated which allows me the flexibility to layer according to the weather. But my main gripe is the fit in the body is like wearing a trash bag -- it's extremely baggy. And, unfortunately there isn't a waist cinch belt.
It is the highest jacket in the snow mountain.
To drink and to get the powder early in the morning, this jacket was bought. It is possible to go on a hike comfortably even in a cold mountain of the morning as it is warm because ventilation is good even at hiking. It was a fit commodity in me who did snowboard.
