    3-in-1 jackets are always the best value but only if the removable insulator is worthy of being worn on its own (often they are hideous or just too plain). This is definitely a 3-in-1 that passes the insulator style test! Tons of features in the jacket, to boot, including a higher-than-most waterproofing/breathability rating of 20k. A very warm jacket with 160 g/m2 insulation (the most you typically see in a ski jacket)!
