Nikita Espan Insulated Jacket - fired brick
Pros;
- Love the colour! Fabric is definitely waterproof, not too heavily insulated and comfy to wear on the slopes. Love the fur trim, which can be removed.
- Have worn it in conditions between 53F/ -23F and it has kept me warm and dry (with 1-2 thermal layers on underneath)
- Cut is slim, but not super skinny. I debated for ages whether to get the XS or S, but went with the S in the end because I didn't want my movement to be restricted (for reference, I'm 5"5' and 125lbs) I think I made the right decision.
Cons;
- Biggest annoyance is that the sleeves are absolutely way too long. As a result the spandex wrist gaitors flap around on my wrists/ hands. Doesn't inhibit performance, but could definitely be improved.
- Interior pockets on the back where you can put warming pouches? Weird and useless. Would much rather practical pockets on the inside left or right to store goggles/ beanie etc.
Fix these two things and this would be a 5 star jacket. It functions well and looks great which is exactly what I wanted.
