Looking for some good quality and well designed jackets...I'm thinking about this one but was hoping for some more options...
thanks in advance,

Superdry isn't known (at least to me) as making quality functional outerwear. The specs for that jacket don't include details like weather and wind proofing that you'll find on dedicated snow gear. Look at the specs for something like Burton's AK Cyclic jacket. I wear this one and absolutely love it. Gore Tex is where it's at for staying dry, and though there are plenty of non Gore Tex jackets that will repel water, I wouldn't go back after having a full Gore Tex setup these days.
- mg33, thank you. great advice. I appreciate this.cbass99
- Great points mg33. I was looking for the down power. I have 600 and 700 jackets and when its -30 in Chicago I'm still cold.kona
- Kona - I've been wearing this this winter as my daily jacket. http://www.fjallrave…mg33

Can't go wrong with Patagonia. They aren't cheap, but they have a lifetime warranty and the best sourced materials on the planet. I'd avoid a super insulated puffy shell, and go with a thin hardshell and use layers instead to regulate your temp.

yeah, I don't know if superdry's stuff will work in the mountain conditions. If you are only going for "looks" then this might do the trick, but if you are going to spend that much on a jacket you might as well spend it on one that actually works. Meaning is waterproof, has snow skirt, adjustable wrists (so you can strap them over gloves), mesh ventilation areas for spring riding, and perhaps modular parts for different conditions.
That being said,
I've been looking at holden for a few jackets, they are more sober style than analog, burton, thirtytwo, volcom, etc. They have great stuff!Holden

Volcom

My buddy had a volcom jacket that has a liner that snaps out, and becomes a spring time riding waterproof jacket, I can't find it right now, but I thought that was super sweet. When it gets cold, you snap it back on the jacket as an extra warm layer.

Thirtytwo
http://thirtytwo.com/They make solid technical gear and arguably some of the most comfortable boots out there.
Scroll down on this page to see all the extra specs on their jackets.
