Fit

The Shadow jacket has a nice tailored fit with a mid-thigh length in the torso. The arms are a nice length as well so you won’t get any wind draft or snow in there.

Construction

Looks to be very well made and seems like it would last a long time.

Hood

A nice fitting contoured hood that has a removable faux fur lining. There was a good amount of room for turning my head with a helmet on, but it also had a nice seal when I tucked down into the jacket.

Insulation/Warmth

With 80g of insulation, the Shadow jacket should keep you pretty warm on the cold days, and there is also room to layer if it is super cold out.

Waterproofing

15k waterproofing should work good for most normal days and even colder storm days. Might get a little wet on those soggy storm days though.

Breathability

15k breathability.

Packability

Not really made to pack down, but the insulation is pretty compact and flexible.

Overall

A nicely made jacket that should work well in most conditions and has a good amount of insulation as well. It looks great and has a nice fit to it with plenty of lengths to keep the snow out of your pants. Also, the color is an Evo exclusive color, but it comes in a few other choices as well.
