Big hood with a gater on the ziper by the mouth so it doesn't make my face raw
 
Some is said but its easier for me to name it all, sorry about that, but I have thought about this a several times.. Thoughts about starting a outerwear company have crossed my mind to many times.. Here in Europe there are no company's like Trew, Flylow, etc.. Lots of people that want quality jackets buy from mountainering/outdoor brands but they all have a short fit and no good pockets etc..

- 20k/20k 3Layer fabric with taped seams

- all pockets need good waterproof zippers with coverd ends

- fit is a bit longer (not idiot long) and slim so its good to wear with a backpack

- Big zipper air vents under the arms (how do you call that?), maybe extra zipper(s) on the back for venting but it shoud be usable/usefull while wearing a backpack..

- Outside pockets should be accesable while wearing a backpack..so placement is important..also big enough to put some skins in one (that pocket will need drainage) maybe one large pocket in the front and the zipper to the side like some Moment and Orage jackets have..

- pass pocket in arm (in europe you hold your pass against a detector and a gote will open)

- Chest pocket for ipod/phone

- powder skirt

- big hood

- NO magnets (fucks avy beacon signals)

- The part for your mouth should have a nice soft fabric that doesnt freeze up easy, but you should be able to get it off..

- 2 pockets on the inside

- dope features

More will come later..
 
It's not that you cant receive or send any signals anymore with your beacon, but its does disturb the signals.. Not something you want in life threatening situations and you're trying to find your buddy or vise versa
 
one think i really like about my jacket is the magnets that hold the hood down so when you spin hard off a jump, you dont get the hood in your face causing you to freak out and die.
 
-Nice sized hood (idk why companies make removable hoods)

-Zip off sleeves

-Pass pocket somewhere convenient

-Pow skirt that is adjustable (2 sets of snaps)

-side vents

-back vent

-Magnet for hood and over the zipper, absolutely love it on my UA jacket, wish it had the hood one

-Magnet pockets are so much nicer than velcro, having a zipper is a plus too

-nice internal cell phone pocket

-Hobo cuffs, for the love of God, I don't know why jackets are made without them

 
after using the armada spectrum jacket i need technical cuffs they are awesome. no more cold arms when you eat shit
 
-20/20k

-oversized hood

-PASS POCKET

-thumbies

-pow skirt

-38"

-waterproof zippers

-a million internal pockets that i dont even know what to do with
 
plus spandex/goretex hobo cuffs.

I"m going to get a custom Jacket hopefully made soon. When i do i'll post pics
 
heres what i want:

-20/20k

-big ass hood

-baggy and tall fit

-many big pockets with waterproof zippers that have covers over em so they dont unzip

-tons of inside pockets

-pass holder with leash

-insulated but not puffed at all

-flece lining

-pockets to put gloves in when not usin em

-goggle wiper and goggle pocket

-big pocket for wet stuff that drains

-cool colors, but nothing over the top, still available in solid colors

 
*good waterproof/breathability*waterproof zippers*decent seams, don't care if they're taped or not, i just want seams that hold and are waterproof...*zippered pockets should be closed when the zipper is down, not the other way around....*pow skirt*good fitting hood*soft zipper/closure in front of my chin/mouth*at least 1 big chest pocket thats easy accesible*zipper pocket for mp3*little earpiece loop near the wire opening for said pocket...*a bottle opener*a powder skirt*cuffs should be wide enough to easily fit gloves under it and should be closed with a wide and durable velcro strap*venting on the armpits and upper arms so you can get decent airflow around your arms ...*an inside pocket thats wide enough to hold goggles or a small bottle of water
*extras: removable sleeves for summer shredding might be a cool thing, but they shouldn't influence durability/waterproofing

 
-20/20k 3 layer taped seams

-Waterproofed zippers

-2 pockets on the in side

-2 big pockets on the outside, 2 chest pockets like Saga

some of theese things might not be very practical but who cares i think it would be kind cool to have some of these features in a jacket
-one with snack pocket like in (orage xaiver bertoni model), -one of those hydro pack water straw things like the ones in backpacks, -built in mittens that can zip off, -attachable like buttons that connect to the pants, -a pow skirt, -zip off sleeves, -pockets inside the jacket where you can slip in like hand warmers and things like that to heat your whole body, -pocket for ipod thats easily accessable and other cool shit like that

32" Jacket with more pockets than a coke dealer, built in iPod port and Macbook air pholster for on-lift editing, hobo gloves, Jiberish endorsement, built in iced out Rolex on the sleeve, gold plated zippers, candy pocket for shred snackin', built in ass guard for tailbone protection, removable sleeves so that it can convert to a vest, kitten fur lining, included epicpass and last but not least Tammy Whallushiz face on the back.

no and what he said isnt entirely true, some beacons are magnetically turned on and off so if u have magnets it will keep turning ur beacon on and off, magnetic force will not mess with ur signal unless ur beacon sends out magnetic signals which is unlikely
