The twill finish exterior of the Madison Insulated Jacket makes this a great jacket for the skier or snowboarder that is very tough on their gear, and needs something to last the extra mile. The heavier fabric limits the jacket to lift serviced skiing, but most wouldn’t ever complain about that. The mid-weight insulation layer is sufficient to eliminate the need to put on 10 layers on the cold winter days. This jacket is ideal for any skier or snowboarder that hates the cold, but enjoys being out in the snow.
