Guide Review - Fera Natalie Ski Jacket
The Fera Natalie is certainly one for first impressions. As soon as my daughter tried this jacket on, she could tell that it was made of the highest quality fabrics and designed with an excellent great fit, too - even with an insulating midlayer (such as a fleece jacket), the Fera Natalie still feels comfortable and provides a full range of movement. With a sturdy feel and bright, bold colors that make it a stand-out on the slopes, the Fera Natalie proves itself on the mountain, in the coldest conditions, too.
My daughter wears this jacket on the mountain ever weekend when we ski. The Thermolite Active insulation and seam sealing has made it so she has never been cold. Also, The Fera Natalie is certainly a functional jacket - multiple pockets hold everything, and the inner zipped pockets are a great place to safely hold valuables such as your iPod or cell phone.
All in all, the Fera Natalie is on the pricier side. For about $265, though, you certainly get quite a ski jacket. Not only does the Fera Natalie look attractive, but it's designed to perform excellently on the ski slopes. The Fera Natalie it looks great, fits well, and keeps you warm, too.
