 Poster: A snowHead
|
As per the title my wife would like something longer length - perhaps down to above height of knee.
Not sure how practical that could be movement wise though I've seen one or two skiing with longer length.
Any recs/thoughts?

I've got a lovely longer Columbia ski jacket. Bought it last season, I think it was called the bindo2. I have always wanted a longer jacket, I'm not sure why they think women want a jacket cut so short you get a cold bottom. Skied in it last year and have been using it as a winter coat, love the extra length and didn't find movement restricted.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@craigjam, those jackets do look good - great length. And though I don't need a jacket right now, the brightly coloured base layers caught my eye - might treat myself to some of those for summer sailing expeditions.

Generally snowboard-specific jackets will be longer (esp. in the back), with an integrated snow skirt that also protects from draughts.

I bought a mountain warehouse alaskan women 3 in one coat for my latest trip. Travelling long haul to California I was looking for flexibility. Though I did not ski in it I was out and about on the ski slopes and see no reason why it would not work for the type of skiing I would do. The ability to zip up from the bottom is super useful.

Was about to recommend these too. My OH bought one last year because she wanted something longer.
