Guide Review - Obermeyer Insulator Jacket
As functional as this ski jacket is, it's also fashionable. The colors are great, and certainly brighten up any ski day. The slim design also means that this jacket is suitable for winter activities off the slopes, too, whether you're running errands or hitting the apres-ski scene.
The only problems we had with this jacket was that it was slightly too thin to be worn alone on very chilly days. It might need to be accompanied with a sweater or a fleece when the temperatures drop, or obviously worn under a heavier jacket during harsh winter weather. Also, if you're fashion-conscious, you will find that due to such unique coloring, this jacket might not match everything in your ski wardrobe. However, all in all, this jacket is quite a good buy!
