I bought this the end of 08/09 season. Very warm, I like to layer underneath so I dig the larger jackets. Tons of pockets to stash all the stuff you may /may not need.

I like special blend, I think they make good quality items for great prices. Will let you know more on how it handles the elements. So far it has been great in cold, wet and snowy weather. Also, doesn't ride up and covers my bum for when i get stuck in the pow :)
