I’ll also be in Colorado all season. I really like the color break heritage look prevalent this year, like your satelite jacket. I just couldn’t find one with the colors/features I like so I went with the all gray bonfire arc 15/10 jacket. I love the fit and somewhat retro look of this jacket. I also like the hidden exterior chest pocket access, pass pocket under the left sleeve, and somewhat retro look of the overall design. It doesn’t have the cool color breaks, but I might find some colorful zipper pulls for it. It also doesn’t have a nice smooth chin guard but I always have my lightweight outdoor tech yowie mask on. The simple mask works great, paired with a baclava on really cold days. I have dakine fillmore mitts which I’ve found to be nice and toasty in CO. Finally, I picked up some thunderstorm blue 20k Holden bibs. I have always wanted a Holden piece since I’m huge on companies working toward environmentally friendly practices (also why I got the Jones twin). It was cool to see Bonfire introduce psoa free waterproofing this year on many pieces. I think bibs will be nice for keeping out snow while I’m falling all over the place on pow days. See you out there!
