Sentinel Relaxed Jacket Women's

The new relaxed fit is amazing for layering and is longer which keeps the bum dry! I love a baggier fit! I'm 5'2" and wear this jacket in a size small. Love the chest pocket and hand pockets which I find to be plenty. I've paired this jacket with the Sentinel Bib Pant (the red and green combo is a beautiful pairing, I run the pant in a size 8) for my freeride kit. While I occasionally hike in this kit, I primarily use it for resort skiing and mechanized access to the mountains while filming. If I were to hike in this kit a lot, I would have to size down a touch. It's durable and I love the fit! Durability in fabric matters, but a key aspect is keeping your gear clean. Don't forget to wash it regularly to ensure the waterproofing continues to work!

I bought this jacket in the Stratus colour and sized down from my usual Medium to a size Small as the fit on this jacket is very generous (I tried on in store before purchasing online). I'm short (5'2") and the small jacket hits mid thigh. I've been wearing a standard Sentinel Jacket for YEARS so this was my first foray into a new jacket fit and at first I wasn't sure but now I love it. I can layer up on super cold days with my Thorium underneath and not feel restricted in my movement. I've been layering with the Allium Jacket and Kyanite Baselayer top and it's keeping me warm (arctic outflow I'd do the Thorium instead of Allium). The colour is great - some people would call it purple, I'd call it blue but I'm constantly getting comments on the colour. On the inside it has two of those mesh goggle pockets (one on each side) which is a new feature to me - I keep a toque on one side and a breakfast burrito in the other ;) Has a zipped pocket in the inner left where I keep cards or key fob. Pit zips are great, I wore this touring and though it doesn't get much airtime when I'm touring (I run hot and it's usually just stuffed in my bag for the downhill) it packs up small. The only thing is that it doesn't have a powder skirt which I'm indifferent about. Overall, great jacket and would recommend!

Great shell for snowboarding in bounds and out. Breathable, warm, waterproof. Love the relaxed fit. I would size down, if you're ordering online.
