I am getting a new jacket for christmas. That said, what should i get? I looked at the burton audex coats, but eh i dont want to sacrifice build quality to have my music built in. I wouldn’t mind having headphones built into the coat, but a wire isn’t the biggest factor in this shit. I need a coat that can stay dry and warm for the 10+ hours that i am usually out there. I do wear under armor cold gear shirts, so it wont need to be the biggest fluffiest coat out there. I guess welded seams is criical, and something that i can move well in is a definate. Any ideas on specific brands or models that you know are pretty decent. Budget is between $200-300 ---

no if i have to make up the difference i will, but i was just looking at that range to be fair and safe. If the perfect coat for me is $500 I will send the parents a check or just talk them into it! ---

I don’t know the exact “model” of jacket that it is, but I got a Rossignol jacket a few years ago when I was on the Schussmeisters board of directors, and it is the best jacket ever. Super warm, really thin, and I’ve gone snowboarding in the pouring rain for 5+ hours and stayed totally dry, however, it was like 600 canadian brand new, but Im sure they have some less expensive stuff. Ive had a few Burton Jackets, and I just didn’t like them as much. I even liked the L.L. Bean snowboard jacket I had better than the Burton Jackets I bought. ---

Got one without a liner, basically just a shell to stop the wind. Rated at 15,000mm i believe. That way i can always wear a fleece underneath if it’s cold, or remove it for the slightly warmer days. ---

[special-blend.com](http://special-blend.com) check it out. im sure you can find something to your liking. i have been wearing blend outerwear for the past couple seasons and i can honestly say aside from an hour in a complete downpour i have NEVER gotten wet. great waterproofing and breathability. ---

Helly Hansen is the best waterproofing, hands down. I have a dub coat, a couple burton coats, a couple pair of burton pants, and special blend pants. my next pants will be Helly Hansen, best shit out there. seriously I have an insulated Burton Ronin jacket that I like a lot, but the waterproofing on it sucks. Helly will be my next purchase ---

Helly will be my next purchase Helly Hansen FTW. By far the best. And it’s reasonably priced as well. Not TOO exspensive. And the quality is ridiculous.
