Is it as awesome as it looks? Has it held up if you've had a chance to use it? What are the inside pockets like? Haven't found any pictures or descriptions of what the inside is like.

Thanks
 
who cares man...save the money and buy a pair of the Surface skis they also sell...

Buy a jacket from last year 50% off.
 
I don't have the Mineral Jacket, but I have the EP suit and it is sweet. I also owned a pair of their format pants from last year. The stuff I have fits big, about as big long as XL LDC, XXL Armada(Normal Fit). My suit hasn't seen the elements yet, but I have no doubt it'll hold up fine and for the price I think you should go for it.
 
I have the Mineral pants. I havent had a chance to ski in them yet, but they look like they are going to keep me VERY DRY. They have Schoeller which is essentially like a swedish version of GoreTex. Ran them under the sink for awhile and water beads off them and did not get even the slightest bit wet. (20k/20k)The only thing i am worried about is the durability. Very thin towards the bottom of the pants.

I would imagine the Mineral jacket is constructed the same. Its just a shell, so dont expect a lot of warmth. But I live in WA so it doesnt get too cold. (Rain). I had the EP bibs last year. Those got a little soggy towards the end of the season, but kept me very dry and warm since they are insulated.

BUY CAUSWELL.
 
i have the jacket in yellow and its very good. It doesn't look as bright as in all the causwell photos.

As already stated its very thin and not very warm on its own which i like as i mainly ski in nz/oz. On a cold day i wear another layer which is sufficient.

Most waterproof jacket i have owned. Better than my Columbia, HH, Armada Radar, and Holden Jackets. Kept me dry on thick wet powder days to full rainstorms here in falls creek.

Only issue i had was with one of the zips under the armpit which came undone from the opposite end while zipped up. Other than that all zips and pockets are tapered and have not come undone.

Jacket does not have a powder skirt which I was disappointed with. But overall is great.

Doesn't collect any dirt either which is a bonus!
 
nice, no powder skirt is kinda a bummer....are there pockets inside? what type, how many? I'm finding a lot of higher quality shells have one or no pockets on the inside of the jacket.
