I am a regular skier, but that is not the reason I purchased this Trespass jacket. I needed a jacket for cycling to work in the winter, that was not too long to go over the saddle comfortably, but long enough to keep me warm.
I have used a variety of makes and models over the years and have good experience in testing these outdoor clothes to their limits.
I have tested the level of waterproofing in some recent heavy rain combined with force 7 winds and there were no leaks.
In terms of insulation, i would say this coat is not quite as warm as a coat with a detachable high quality fleece, (which is what i wanted as i already had one of those and it is too warm sometimes) but easily beats most "padded" jackets.
(I only wear a shirt underneath and have been cycling in zero degrees celsius lately.)
The pockets are great - there are so many i have not had time to use them all yet in truth, but they are all easily accessible. My favourite is the zip pocket on the left sleeve as it is perfect for my door entry card for work.
The one thing that stood out for me was that this coat is SO comfortable. I am sure you know what i mean when you put on a really comfy pair of shoes and feel like they will take you anywhere you want to go, well this coat felt exactly like that.
I am going skiing in Feb and am looking forward to trying this jacket out on the slopes.
Any criticisms so far? No, I am genuinely thrilled with it!
