So I’m in the market for a new jacket. I normally wouldn’t pay attention to this kind of thing, but since I will be in NY for quite a few more winters I figured I should get a decent one. I am going to start snowboarding this year to give myself something to do during the winter. I was looking at some Spyder jackets at Dick’s. Anybody have input on those or any suggestions? I’d like to stay $250 or less. ---

I have a Burton Franchise that I wear; got it from Buffalo Boards (Tom will hook you up!)lts plenty warm on the hill. Only issue I’ve had with it is one decorative button came loose. I see lots of Spyder jackets on the hills though. ---

Brand doesn’t really matter. Check the waterproofing level. There is a standard number that they are all rated by. Also, you will want a powder skirt, a nice detachable hood, solid zipper and buttons. ---

I’ve rocked a burton ronin, a special blend, a couple bonfire’s, and 686… as well as a couple north face’s. Never had a problem with any of them… Find something that fits your style and you’ll be fine. ---
